A locksmith in Preston who confirms the price before starting
Our Preston engineers repair, re-key and replace locks on the Victorian terraces of Deepdale and Fishwick, the townhouses around Winckley Square and the postwar estates of Ribbleton and Larches.
Most calls we take in Preston 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 Preston: common questions
What does a locksmith in Preston 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 Preston, 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 Chorley, Leyland and Southport as well as Preston?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole PR postcode area, including Penwortham, Longridge, Kirkham, Garstang, Chorley, Leyland and Southport.
Can you look at the back door of my terrace as well as the front?
Yes. Engineers can check both doors in the same visit and replace the lock on either, fitting BS3621 mortice locks or anti-snap cylinders where the door suits them. The quote is free on the phone.
