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 handle on our back door had started spinning right round and wouldn't throw the lock at all. Turned out the spindle inside had sheared. He had the right handle set on the van, fitted it, and checked the mechanism was still moving properly before packing up. Back to normal that afternoon.
Moved into one of the older places near The Village and wanted the locks changed straight off, since who knew who still held keys from before. He did the front and back in a morning, tidy work, and pointed out which locks actually met the British Standard.
Called late on when our front door mechanism jammed solid and none of us could get out without a fight. He talked me through keeping it shut safely over the phone, arrived when he said he would, and had a new mechanism fitted without any fuss.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in East Kilbride? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
East Kilbride was designated Scotland's first post-war New Town in 1947, built in phases to relieve Glasgow's overcrowding. The Village holds the older core; the rest went up district by district, each with a local centre. We cover the lot. Folk in West Mains and East Mains call as often as the semis out in Westwood and Whitemoss, and we know the terraces around The Murray well. Calderwood sits a touch further out, though it's still a short run from the centre. Much of this is New Town stock, so the locks and mechanisms behind those doors rarely catch us out. Callers in East Kilbride usually wait 15 to 30 minutes. The estimate you get is real, based on where the nearest locksmith actually is. A straightforward job costs £39 in labour. Should you need a lock, prices start at £25 and include the fitting. Our warranty runs for 12 months and applies to the labour as much as the parts. Each of our locksmiths is DBS-checked, and each is insured for the work they do in your home.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of East Kilbride and the wider G postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as South Lanarkshire, The Village, Whitemoss, West Mains, East Mains. From the city centre out to the edges of the G74-G75 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 East Kilbride? 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 G 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.

uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our East Kilbride 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.
