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.
Our uPVC front door had been stiffening up for a while and then one morning it flat refused to lock. One of the hooks on the mechanism had sheared off. He turned up with the right multipoint unit and swapped the whole strip. Locks like new now, sits tight against the frame. Proper job.
My mother's back door lock had packed in and she'd been bolting it from the inside for days. I rang on her behalf and someone came round that evening. He explained the fault so she could follow it, fitted a new lock and showed her how the key should sit. She was made up.
Locked out of the flat with the shopping still in my arms. Got through on the phone, was told plainly what it would take, and the lock was picked open with no mark left on the door. No drama, sorted.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Peterlee? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Peterlee went up after the war as a New Town for the East Durham coalfield, named for Peter Lee, the miners' leader. Victor Pasmore's concrete Apollo Pavilion still sits at its heart. Parts of Howletch and Sunny Blunts were built with prefabricated concrete house systems, and the doors and locks there carry their own quirks. Acre Rigg, Eden Hill, Yoden and Shotton all sit only minutes from the middle of the town. Most call-outs land on those estates and the streets that link them. This is County Durham, not Tyne and Wear, and we know the ground we work. Ring from Peterlee and the answer is usually 15 to 30 minutes. If traffic or a running job pushes that out, you get the true estimate up front. The labour charge is £39 and locks are priced from £25. Fitting comes inside the quoted lock price rather than as an extra line on the bill. The warranty period is 12 months, counted from the job date, and it covers labour as well as parts. A DBS check and proper insurance sit behind every locksmith we dispatch.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Peterlee and the wider SR postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as County Durham, Acre Rigg, Eden Hill, Howletch, Sunny Blunts. From the city centre out to the edges of the SR8 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.

Our engineers fit British Standard BS3621 mortice locks and insurance-approved anti-snap cylinders across the SR 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 Peterlee 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.
