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.
Mum came out of hospital and her keys had gone astray somewhere on the way. He came to the flat over near Church End, got her back inside without wrecking the door, and changed the barrel there and then. Patient with her too, which counted for as much as the lock did.
French doors at the back stopped throwing their bolts and we didn't want to leave them like that overnight. He found the mechanism had worn right out, had the part with him, and had it working again in the one visit. Plain price, no trying to sell us extras.
Somebody had a go at the door in the small hours and left the frame in a state. Rang at first light not expecting much and he was round before the school run, braced it so it shut, then came back the next day with a tougher lock fitted.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Dunstable? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Dunstable grew up at a crossroads. Roman Watling Street ran dead straight through the chalk here and crossed the far older Icknield Way, and the town has sat on that junction ever since. Up on the Downs the Five Knolls barrows were dug into back in 1929 and gave up close to a hundred skeletons; gliders have been going off the same slopes since 1931. Most of what we get called out to sits below all that, on ground that stayed fields until the sixties. Church End keeps the old core near the priory, and the locks there are a mixed bag, plenty of timber doors and older mortice work. Head north toward Houghton Regis and the estates get newer, so Tithe Farm and the Woodside Estate are mostly uPVC and composite. Beecroft and Parkside are steady residential rounds. Stipers Hill and Downside we know well, and Thorn out on the northern edge is the longest run of the lot. The old trade here was straw hats, then printing and engineering; the housing that came with that sixties expansion fills most of our week now. We work locks, mechanisms and handles across the whole of it, and we have a fair idea which streets go quiet after dark and which ones you can still knock up a neighbour on. Getting to Dunstable takes us 15 to 30 minutes as a rule. When it will take longer, we tell you the truth and let you decide. A straightforward job costs £39 in labour. Should you need a lock, prices start at £25 and include the fitting. A 12-month parts-and-labour warranty is attached to every lock we install. No locksmith joins us without a DBS check, and none works without insurance.
