A locksmith in Plymouth who confirms the price before starting
From the Victorian terraces of Stoke, Mutley and Devonport to the new homes at Sherford and the harbour villages of the Cornish coast, our engineers work on timber, composite and uPVC doors across the whole PL area. Whatever the lock, one call to the 24-hour line puts an engineer on the way.
Most calls we take in Plymouth 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.
