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.
Rang about a lock on a rental near Abbotsham that hadn't worked properly since we moved in. He came out that afternoon, sorted it without any drama, and left it feeling solid. Straightforward and fair with the price.
Our back gate lock in East The Water rusted solid over winter and nobody local seemed keen to take the job on. This lot did, arrived with the right tools, had it open and replaced within the hour, and cleaned up properly after.
Needed help fast for an elderly relative near the quay who'd locked herself out and was getting upset on the phone. The locksmith kept her calm through the door while he worked, had her back inside within twenty minutes, and checked her other locks before leaving. Genuinely reassuring.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Bideford? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Bideford sits on the tidal River Torridge where the old many-arched bridge has carried traffic across the water for centuries, with East The Water forming the far bank and the quay still marking where trading ships once loaded for Newfoundland. Appledore's shipbuilding yards sit just downstream, Instow's sands face the estuary from the opposite shore, and Westward Ho! gives this stretch of Tarka country its own beach at the coast. Head inland past Abbotsham and Monkleigh and the terraces thin into stone cottages and farmhouses, each fitted with whatever lock its era left behind. We've worked all of them. Around Bideford, plan on a 15 to 30 minute wait. We would rather tell you 45 honestly than promise 20 and miss it. £39 labour and locks from £25 is the standard pricing here, and a quoted lock price always covers the fitting as well. The warranty period is 12 months, counted from the job date, and it covers labour as well as parts. No locksmith joins us without a DBS check, and none works without insurance.
