A locksmith in Ipswich who confirms the price before starting
Our Ipswich engineers repair, re-key and replace locks on Victorian terraces near Christchurch Park, post-war estate homes in Chantry and Whitehouse, and family houses in Kesgrave and Martlesham.
Most calls we take in Ipswich 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.

Locksmith in Ipswich: common questions
What does a locksmith in Ipswich cost?
Lockouts start from £39, lock changes from £88 and uPVC gearbox replacements from £89, plus VAT where applicable. You get a free quote on the phone, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
What do you work on?
Front and back doors on homes and small businesses: lockouts, lock changes, lock repairs, uPVC and composite doors, window locks and repairs after a break-in. We do not work on cars or safes.
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.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Ipswich, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
How does pricing work?
Tell us the door, the lock and what has happened, and we give you a free quote on the phone. When the engineer arrives, they check the lock and confirm the final price with you before starting any work. Nothing is done without your agreement. A £49 assessment fee applies only if you cancel after the engineer has arrived.
Do you cover Felixstowe, Woodbridge and the Suffolk coast as well as Ipswich?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole IP postcode area, including Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, Southwold, Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds, and reaches into Norfolk at Diss and Thetford. Give us your postcode when you call and we will confirm the arrival time.
My insurer wants a British Standard lock on the front door of our Victorian terrace. What do we need?
For a timber door, a BS3621 mortice deadlock is the usual answer, and it is the standard many insurers ask for. The engineer checks the door on arrival, explains the options and confirms the price before starting.
