A locksmith in Peterlee who confirms the price before starting

Peterlee is a County Durham new town, planned in the late 1940s to house miners from the surrounding pit villages and named after the miners' leader Peter Lee. Our engineers cover its estates and the nearby villages of Easington and Horden, on the same 24-hour line that serves Sunderland.

Most calls we take in Peterlee 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.
