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.
We look after a holiday cottage down at Malpas and the front door had seized up over winter, first changeover of the season and it wouldn't shift at all. The chap came out from Truro, opened it without damage and fitted a new cylinder on the spot. Taken his number for the other cottage too.
Snapped my key off in the door on Lemon Street coming home late. He got the broken half out and the door open without drilling, took maybe half an hour from my call.
I manage a couple of student lets near Truro College and needed the locks changed between tenants at short notice. He did both doors in one morning, new cylinders, and handed over every key including the spares. Booked him in again for when the next tenancy ends.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Truro? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Truro is the only city Cornwall has got, and it sits near enough the middle of the county that we base our 24/7 cover for the whole TR postcode area on it, TR1 out to TR27. Worth being straight about what that means. A call from Kenwyn, Highertown or Malpas is a short run, and anywhere in Truro itself you can expect us in 15 to 30 minutes at any hour. But Cornwall is a county of long roads, and the far west is a proper drive: Falmouth (TR11) and Newquay (TR7) generally sit in the 25 to 45 minute band, while Penzance (TR18) and St Ives (TR26) can take three quarters of an hour on a good run, longer behind summer traffic, so you get an honest ETA on the phone rather than a hopeful one. Wherever the job lands, the price list is the same. Labour from £39, locks from £25, no call-out fee, and a 12-month warranty covering parts and labour. Every lockout starts with non-destructive entry, picking the lock before anyone thinks about drilling it, which matters on the granite terraces around the cathedral where the original doors are worth hanging on to. Out at Threemilestone and Gloweth the stock is mostly uPVC, and a failed multipoint gearbox is the repair we do more than any other, along with cylinders and stiff handles. Cornwall throws two problems at locks that most counties don't. Salt-heavy weather off two coasts, which seizes cylinders and mechanisms in exposed spots from Newham along the river down to Malpas. And thousands of holiday cottages and second homes that stand empty from October to Easter, so a decent share of our winter work is doors that haven't been opened in months and won't now, plus lock changes for owners who've lost count of the spare keys out with cleaners, agents and old guests. If a cottage door gives up on you at three in the morning, ring anyway. Someone answers, and the price agreed on the phone is the price you pay.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Truro and the wider TR postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Cornwall, Kenwyn, Malpas, Threemilestone, Highertown. From the city centre out to the edges of the TR1-TR27 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 Truro? Worried the previous owner kept a spare key? Lock replacement is a sensible, affordable upgrade.
