Which locksmith service do you need?
If the key turns but the door will not lock, the fault is usually the mechanism rather than the cylinder, so a repair is often cheaper than a new lock. If you have lost a key and want old copies to stop working, a rekey or cylinder change is the answer. Prices for every job are on our locksmith price list, the towns we reach are on the areas we cover page, and our advice guides explain common faults before you book.
