A locksmith in Inverness who confirms the price before starting
Our Inverness engineers repair, re-key and replace locks on tenement flats near the city centre, sandstone villas along Ness Bank and modern family homes in Culloden, Westhill and Cradlehall.
Most calls we take in Inverness are one of three things: someone locked out, a lock that has stopped working, or a household that wants the locks changed after lost keys or a move. You describe the door and the lock, we give you the price, and the nearest engineer drives to you.
Our engineers carry the common cylinder sizes, nightlatches, mortice locks and uPVC gearboxes, so most jobs are finished in one visit.

Do nights and weekends cost more?
No. The price is the same at 3am on a Sunday as it is at midday on a Tuesday, bank holidays included.
Can you fit insurance-approved locks?
Yes. BS3621 mortice deadlocks for timber doors and anti-snap euro cylinders for uPVC and composite doors. Tell us what your policy asks for and the engineer brings the right lock.
How quickly can someone get to me?
An engineer is typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes, and within 30 minutes at most on the mainland. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.
How far from Inverness do you cover?
The same 24-hour line covers the whole IV postcode area, including Nairn, Elgin, Forres, Dingwall, Tain, Dornoch, Ullapool and Kyle of Lochalsh. Distances are long in the Highlands, so give us your postcode on the call and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.
My lock has frozen solid in a hard frost. Can you get me inside?
