A locksmith in Leicester who confirms the price before starting
Our Leicester engineers repair, re-key and replace locks on the Victorian terraces of Highfields and Aylestone, the 1950s estates and the newer builds around Beaumont Leys.
Most calls we take in Leicester 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.
