Fantastic, can't fault anything. I called about a broken front door lock, and they were out and had it fixed within the hour. Very pleased, thank you,
Excellent service thanks for getting back to me immediately and calling out so quickly. Definitely recommend your services
Fast, courteous and professional. Would recommend and use again.
The mortice lock in our Bowdon front door finally seized with us inside. Instead of cutting it out, he stripped it down on the step, cleaned and re-sprung it, and kept all the original brass in place. The door is Victorian and still has every one of its own parts, which mattered to us a great deal.
Our building manager told everyone to sort their own cylinders after the flat downstairs was burgled. Rang at lunchtime, had a three-star cylinder fitted by evening, and he snapped the old one in front of me so I understood what the fuss was about. No drama at any point.
Key snapped off in the door at half six in the morning with my shift starting at seven. He worked the stub out, opened up, and swapped the cylinder so we both hold fresh keys. Fair price for that hour of the day, and he swept up the filings after himself.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Altrincham? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Altrincham squeezes more contrast into one small town than most boroughs manage. Broadheath was laid out by the Earl of Stamford in 1885 and gets called the world's first industrial estate; the Linotype works followed and put up rows of terraces for its workers that still stand, most of them locking with a nightlatch above a five-lever mortice that has been turning for a century. A mile up the hill it is a different world. The Victorian villas of Bowdon and The Downs keep their original timber doors and period mortice cases, and those deserve a patient repair, not a drill through good joinery. Between the two sit the interwar semis of Timperley and Oldfield Brow, most of them long since switched to uPVC, where the multipoint mechanism is the part that gives out. Around Altrincham Interchange, a short walk from the market house food stalls, the newer flats bring communal entries and euro-cylinder doors, which is why anti-snap upgrades have become the job we do most in the centre. Hale and Bowdon are as familiar to burglars as they are to estate agents, so lock surveys and security upgrades tick over there all year. Whichever door is yours, the first approach is non-destructive: picking and decoding get tried before drilling is so much as discussed. Inside the town, from Broadheath and Newtown across to The Downs, plan on 15 to 30 minutes from ringing us to a van at the kerb; where the run is longer, you get the honest figure rather than a hopeful one. We do not add a call-out fee, in Altrincham or anywhere around it. Labour starts at £39 and replacement locks at £25, and a quoted price for a lock swap already includes the fitting, so the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. Everything we fit or repair stays guaranteed for a full year, the part and the workmanship together. The line is answered 24/7, and the person who knocks has passed a DBS check and works fully insured.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Altrincham and the wider WA postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Cheshire, Broadheath, Timperley, Hale, Bowdon. From the city centre out to the edges of the WA14-WA15 range, engineers are positioned to respond inside the 15–30 minute window we promise.
Labour starts from £39, locks from £25, and every job comes with a 12-month parts-and-workmanship warranty — no call-out fee, no hidden extras.

uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Altrincham engineers carry replacement gearboxes, handles, hinges, and cylinders for every major brand on every van — meaning most uPVC faults are diagnosed and repaired on the same call-out, with no second visit needed.
uPVC repairs start from £79, and emergency uPVC entries from £39, with the exact fixed price quoted before any work begins.
