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 front door lock seized up completely one Sunday night with the kids already asleep inside. Someone came out from Royston and had it open without any drama, calm the whole time about it.
We'd just moved into a rented cottage out near Melbourn and the previous tenants clearly still had spare keys floating about somewhere, which isn't a great feeling once you've unpacked. The locksmith swapped everything out properly and didn't rush any of it even though it was gone nine at night.
Snow that week meant nobody much fancied coming out to Barkway, but the chap who answered was straightforward about it and got here anyway, sorted the lock without any fuss.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Royston? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Royston grew up around a crossing older than the town itself, where the Icknield Way meets the line of Ermine Street on the chalk border between Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. The carved cave beneath that junction still draws people below ground, and the heath above still opens out flat behind the rooftops. Close in that's Hedera Green; further out the villages start, Bassingbourn-cum-Kneesworth, Bassingbourn, Litlington, Melbourn, Barkway and Meldreth, older cottages near the centre, newer estates further out. We cover all of it, whichever side of that chalk line the call comes from. We reach most of Royston in 15 to 30 minutes and we quote the real figure on the call, even when it is a slow evening. 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. The locksmith at your door is DBS-checked and fully insured. That applies to every one of them, on every job.
