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.
Locked myself out in Castlefields after nipping out to the car, keys left on the side. Phoned and a lad turned up in about 21 minutes, had the door open without a scratch and was honest that the lock was fine. Quick and a fair price, no complaints at all.
uPVC front door in Murdishaw stopped locking on a Saturday, handle just dropped. He worked out it was the gearbox, had one in the van and changed it in under an hour, then adjusted the door so it shuts right. Charged what he quoted, no weekend nonsense.
We had a break-in while we were out and the back door was in bits when we got home to Beechwood. Rang them that afternoon, they came round, made it secure and fitted proper insurance-rated locks front and back. Wrote it all down for the claim and were really good about it. Felt safe in the house again that night.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Runcorn? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Stuck outside your house in Runcorn, or come home to a door that won't lock? We run a 24/7 emergency locksmith service across the WA7 area and keep engineers near the Old Town and Halton Lea, so most calls in Castlefields, Beechwood and around the Busway get a van there in 15 to 30 minutes. There is no call-out fee. Labour starts at £39 and locks start at £25, and you get the price before any work begins, not after the door is open. Most of what we do is the everyday stuff: people shut out after popping outside for a second, keys snapped in a worn barrel, and uPVC doors that have stopped locking. There are plenty of uPVC and composite doors across the newer parts of Sandymoor, Murdishaw and Brookvale, and when the multi-point gearbox fails or the cylinder snaps the door either jams shut or won't lock at all. We carry replacement gearboxes and anti-snap cylinders on the van, so most of those are fixed inside the hour and the door reset so it shuts properly again. We also change locks for new tenants and after a relationship ends, fit BS3621 mortice locks and TS007 anti-snap cylinders that keep home insurance valid, and we make properties secure after a break-in. If you have been burgled in Beechwood or anywhere across WA7 we attend the same day, board up if it is needed and leave a written invoice for the insurer. Every job carries a 12-month warranty on parts and labour, and we only fit branded locks we have worked with for years. We cover Halton, Weston Point, Old Town and the surrounding Cheshire areas as well as central Runcorn. One local number, a real locksmith on the end of it, and straight advice on whether you need a new lock or just the door putting right.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Runcorn and the wider WA postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Cheshire, Halton, Weston Point, Beechwood, Castlefields.

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.

uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams.
