They were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and finished the job quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this locksmith company.
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.
The flat's back door hadn't shut properly since we moved in near the university halls, and the wind off the sea kept catching it. Someone reset the whole mechanism between lectures rather than planing the door down.
We run a bed and breakfast near the cathedral ruins and had a guest lock themselves out of their room on a Saturday night in the golf calendar, every other trade in town already booked. The locksmith sorted the door without marking the frame and was gone before the next arrivals turned up.
Out past Boarhills the farmhouse door had swollen with the damp and the key wouldn't turn either way. Whoever came out planed nothing, just worked out where the frame had shifted and adjusted the keep instead.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in St Andrews? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
St Andrews trades on golf and scholarship more than sheer size: the Old Course and the Royal and Ancient clubhouse sit a short walk from Scotland's oldest university, so cobbled medieval streets carry students past shopfronts as often as golfers. The ruined cathedral and castle hold the clifftop above the harbour. Out from Ladyhead the town gives way to Guardbridge's estuary cottages, then Cameron, Mount Melville and Boarhills, with Kincaple and Strathkinness further out among the farms ringing the whole place. The usual wait in St Andrews is 15 to 30 minutes. If it will be more, you are told when you ring, not after you have waited. £39 covers the labour. Any lock we supply starts at £25, quoted with fitting included, so the number you hear is the number you pay. Our warranty runs for 12 months and applies to the labour as much as the parts. DBS checks and insurance are conditions of working here, so whoever turns up carries both.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of St Andrews and the wider KY postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Fife, Ladyhead, Guardbridge, Cameron, Mount Melville. From the city centre out to the edges of the KY16 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 St Andrews? 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 KY 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 St Andrews? 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 KY postcode area.
uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our St Andrews 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.
