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.
Snapped a key off in the back door of one of the old stone cottages near the market square on a Sunday evening. The locksmith worked it free without drilling and had a spare cut before he left. No fuss, no drama.
We'd just moved into a new-build close and the front door lock never sat right, needing real force to turn. He looked it over, adjusted the mechanism first rather than jumping straight to a replacement, and only fitted a new cylinder once the old one was clearly worn out.
Out at Dowlish Wake the back gate lock had seized solid after the wet spring. Thought it would need replacing but he freed it up with some patience and a bit of graphite instead.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Ilminster? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Ilminster takes its name from the old minster church anchoring the market square, its walls built from honey-coloured Ham stone that glows even on a dull day. Period cottages line the lanes off that square, with quieter modern closes tucked in behind them. Beyond the town the villages scatter across open farmland: Whitelackington and Donyatt closest in, Dowlish Wake and Ilton a short run further out, Stocklinch, Seavington St Mary, Horton and Broadway further still. We work stone cottages and new-build closes alike, in the square and out across the parishes around it. In Ilminster we aim for 15 to 30 minutes, and if the day is running longer than that, you hear it while you are still on the line. Pricing is fixed at £39 for labour. Locks begin at £25, fitting included, and we confirm the total before starting. A 12-month warranty comes as standard, and it covers parts as well as labour. You are letting a stranger into your house, so we make sure that stranger is DBS-checked and insured before they ever get a job sheet.
