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.
Manage two student flats just off Mutley Plain and needed both re-keyed between tenants at the end of June. He did the pair in one visit, new cylinders, spare keys sorted, everything receipted for the deposit paperwork. Second summer I've used him, same engineer both times.
Snapped my key in the door on Albert Road in Devonport coming off a late shift. He got the stub out in one piece, then showed me how chewed up the cylinder was inside. Had him swap it while he was at it. Would've gone again within the month otherwise.
Our back door in Plymstock had dropped so far you needed both hands on the handle to get it to lock. My husband had a go at the hinges himself and made it worse. The chap reset them properly and moved the keeps, and now it locks with one finger. In and out in under an hour.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Plymouth? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Plymouth's housing turns over faster than most cities its size. The student belt round Mutley and North Hill in PL4 changes tenants every summer, and each changeover means cylinder swaps and doors that have taken a year of rough treatment. A good chunk of our work is exactly that, alongside the Victorian terraces through Stonehouse and Peverell where the original mortice locks have been quietly seizing up for decades. The emergency line runs 24/7 and we cover the whole PL area: PL1 round the Hoe and Barbican, Devonport across PL1 and PL2, Keyham in PL2, the PL4 rental streets, St Budeaux in PL5, Plympton in PL7 and Plymstock in PL9, then over the Tamar to Saltash in PL12 and up the A386 to Tavistock in PL19. Inside the city you're normally looking at 15 to 30 minutes between your call and the van pulling up. Saltash and Ivybridge (PL21) run more like 25 to 40, and Liskeard or Bodmin further into Cornwall can be 45, which we say plainly on the phone rather than promise a time we can't hit. You'll pay £39 labour to start, locks begin at £25, and the call-out costs you nothing. Anything we fit or repair is covered for twelve months, parts and labour both. Non-destructive entry comes first, picking or bypassing rather than drilling, which matters when a landlord wants the door open without paying for a new frame on top. On the estates at Crownhill and Plymstock most calls are uPVC: gearboxes that have packed in, or doors that have dropped so the hooks miss their keeps and the handle won't lift. We carry gearboxes and cylinders for the common multipoint systems in the van, so most of those get fixed in one visit. If you're a letting agent with four flats to re-key before September, book us in and we'll do the lot in one run. If you're stood outside your own front door at six in the morning before a shift at the dockyard, ring now and someone will be on their way.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Plymouth and the wider PL postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Devon, Devonport, Mutley, Stonehouse, Peverell. From the city centre out to the edges of the PL1-PL35 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 Plymouth? 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 PL 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 Plymouth? 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 PL postcode area.
uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Plymouth 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.
