A locksmith in Stornoway who confirms the price before starting
Our engineers repair, re-key and replace locks on stone cottages, harled houses and newer timber-frame homes in Stornoway, Sandwick and Back, and out to the townships across Lewis and Harris.
Most calls we take in Stornoway 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 Stornoway: common questions
What does a locksmith in Stornoway 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.
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 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.
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 Stornoway, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
How do I pay?
When the job is finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, and you get a written receipt you can use for an insurance claim.
Do you cover Harris, the Uists and Barra as well as Lewis?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole HS postcode area, from Stornoway and Tarbert to Lochmaddy, Balivanich, Lochboisdale and Castlebay. Island travel can add time, so give us your postcode on the call and we will tell you the arrival time.
My front door has gone stiff after a winter of Atlantic weather. Can the lock be repaired?
Often, yes. Salt air and driving rain wear on cylinders, hinges and handles, and our engineers can free, repair or replace the lock and check the door closes properly. The engineer confirms the price before starting work.
