Locksmith Services in Derby

24/7 Emergency Lockouts

Locked out anywhere from Derby city centre to Burton, Belper or Ashbourne? We specialise in non-destructive entry — professional picking and bypass techniques that get you back inside without damaging your door or lock. Over 95% of lockouts are resolved without a mark. From £49.

uPVC Door & Window Repairs

Derby’s housing runs heavily on uPVC and composite doors — from the estates at Sinfin, Chellaston and Oakwood to the new-builds around Mickleover and Hilton. Spinning handles, failed gearboxes, dropped doors and jammed multipoint mechanisms are our most common local call-outs. We carry gearboxes, strips and cylinders for all major brands on the van and repair rather than replace. From £49.

Lock Replacements & Anti-Snap Upgrades

Moving house in Derby, lost your keys, or still running the standard cylinder your door came with? We fit 3-star TS007 anti-snap cylinders (Avocet ABS, Brisant Ultion, Mul-T-Lock) — the grade most home insurance policies now specify — and BS3621 5-lever mortice deadlocks on timber doors, including the older terraced stock around Normanton and the period properties in Duffield, Belper and Ashbourne. Cylinder change from £49; moving house 3-door package from £149.

Broken Key Extraction

Key snapped in the lock? Don’t push it deeper with tweezers or a screwdriver. We extract broken keys cleanly using specialist tools, usually saving the cylinder. From £59.

Burglary Repairs & Boarding Up

Break-in damage secured the same day across Derby and Derbyshire — replacement locks, frame reinforcement, and temporary boarding over smashed glazing, with a full written invoice for your insurance claim. Boarding from £59; full secure-up from £149.
