A locksmith in York who confirms the price before starting
Our York engineers repair, re-key and replace locks on Georgian doors around Bootham and Micklegate, Victorian terrace doors in Holgate and Heworth, and family homes in Acomb, Haxby and Dringhouses.
Most calls we take in York 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 York: common questions
What does a locksmith in York 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.
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.
How quickly can someone get to me?
An engineer is typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes, and within 30 minutes at most. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.
Can you work on an older door in a listed building inside the city walls?
Yes. Our engineers can repair, re-key or fit a suitable lock to older timber doors, and the engineer will explain what is possible and confirm the price first. Where a change would alter how a listed door looks, it is worth checking with the council before we go ahead.
Do you cover Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington or only York?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole YO postcode area, from York and Selby to Malton, Pickering, Scarborough, Whitby, Filey and Bridlington.
