They were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and finished the job quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this locksmith company.
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.
My mother is in her nineties and still in her bungalow in Jumpers, and after a fall we needed her carers able to let themselves in. They fitted a key safe, moved at her pace, explained it to her twice without talking down to her, and looked over the back door lock while they were there.
Changeover Saturday at our holiday let near Avon Beach and the departing guests drove off to Scotland with both sets of keys. One call, a locksmith by early afternoon, new cylinder in and four keys cut. The incoming family never knew anything had gone wrong.
Our beach hut out on the Mudeford sandspit takes a winter of salt spray, and this spring the lock had seized solid. He freed it on the spot, then fitted stainless replacements that should outlast the hinges, and stayed cheerful about the long sandy walk out.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Christchurch? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Christchurch is one of the oldest towns in England twice over. The Priory has stood above the harbour since 1094, watching the Avon and the Stour meet below it, and the residents are old too: roughly three in ten are past retirement age, close to double the national figure. That shapes the lock work here more than anything else. We fit key safes so carers can reach a parent who no longer gets to the door quickly, sort out sheltered flats and warden-controlled schemes when a key goes missing, and help sons and daughters put a parent's house keys in order. Through Fairmile, Jumpers and Somerford, whole streets of postwar bungalows still lock with the mortice sashlocks first screwed on sixty years ago, honest locks in their day, well short of what an insurer expects now. Somerford itself stands on the old runway where Airspeed and de Havilland built aircraft until 1962, which is why its streets sit flatter and younger than the rest of town. Down at Mudeford the work turns seasonal: beach huts on the sandspit with asking prices past half a million, holiday lets swapping guests every Saturday and wanting cylinders changed between them, and salt chewing at coastal door furniture out at Highcliffe and Friars Cliff. Whatever the door, somebody picks up day and night, all year round. From Purewell, Stanpit or the town centre a locksmith is typically at your door within 15 to 30 minutes of the call; Highcliffe and the coast in August can push it towards 45, and you hear that at the time rather than find out on the doorstep. You pay no call-out fee. Labour starts from £39 and a lock from £25, and the price you agree for a replacement lock covers the lock and the work of fitting it together, settled before anyone starts. Non-destructive entry comes first, picks before drills. Every locksmith on the rota holds a current DBS certificate and full insurance, and a 12-month warranty sits on all of it, the lock as much as the fitting. Dorset on paper, Hampshire in memory, but either way the door opens.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Christchurch and the wider BH postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Dorset, Purewell, Mudeford, Stanpit, Somerford. From the city centre out to the edges of the BH23 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.
Moved into a new property in Christchurch? Worried the previous owner kept a spare key? Lock replacement is a sensible, affordable upgrade. Our engineers fit British Standard BS3621 mortice locks and insurance-approved anti-snap cylinders across the BH postcode area, suiting modern uPVC doors and older period properties alike.
If your existing lock is sticking, stiff, or starting to fail, a quick repair visit usually restores it without a full replacement — keeping costs down while keeping security intact.

Lost keys? Snapped key in the cylinder? Our team handles key extraction, replacement key cutting, and full rekeying on the same visit — anywhere across the BH postcode area.
uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Christchurch 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.
Every engineer is fully trained, DBS-checked, and insured. We don't subcontract — every van you see is on our team, on our payroll, and accountable to the same 12-month warranty. That's how we keep response times tight and quality consistent across Christchurch and the surrounding Dorset area.
