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.
Salt air off the seafront had corroded the barrel lock on our flat near Roundham until the key barely turned. Sorted without any fuss, and it still works fine months on.
Moved into a rental up towards Shorton and found the previous tenant's keys didn't fit half the doors. Whoever came out re-keyed the whole place calmly, explained what each lock actually did, and left it all working properly rather than rushing off to the next job.
A gate lock at the bottom of our garden near Foxhole had rusted solid after a wet winter. Took some patience but they got it moving again without wrecking the gate itself.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Paignton? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Paignton makes no secret of what it is: an English Riviera resort built around Tor Bay, with a red-sand beach, a Victorian pier and green, and a harbour that still smells of the fishing trade behind the pleasure boats. The grand Oldway Mansion sits back from the palm-lined seafront, and the town proper climbs the hill behind it through Roundham and St Michaels, on into Preston, Shorton, Foxhole and Tweenaways. Housing runs from solid Victorian villas near the front to plainer post-war streets further up, so a callout might mean anything from a stiff old rim lock to a modern multipoint door. From your call to a knock at the door is normally 15 to 30 minutes in Paignton, and any delay gets flagged while you are still on the phone. A replacement lock starts at £25 with fitting built into the quote, and labour is a flat £39. Parts and labour are both under warranty for 12 months from the day of the job. Before anyone works under our name they pass a DBS check and are put on the firm's insurance.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Paignton and the wider TQ postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Devon, Oldway, Roundham, St Michaels, Preston. From the city centre out to the edges of the TQ2-TQ4 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 Paignton? 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 TQ 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.
Locked out of your home, office, or vehicle anywhere in Paignton? Our 24/7 emergency locksmith dispatch sends the nearest available engineer immediately. Most lockouts are resolved using non-destructive entry techniques, so your existing lock stays intact and your bill stays low.
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 TQ postcode area.
uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Paignton 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.
