Locksmith Felling Services

Most household lock work in Felling is a same-day job. I come to your door with the tools and the common locks already stocked in the van, so a lockout, repair or replacement is handled in a single visit. As a residential locksmith covering NE10 and the surrounding postcodes, the locksmith services I'm called for most often are below.

Lockouts and Emergency Help

If you're shut out at the front door, I aim to reach you quickly and get you back in without damaging the door. Most lockouts come down to lost or misplaced keys, a worn euro cylinder, a snapped key, or a multipoint mechanism that has stopped engaging. As a 24 hour locksmith, I cover emergency call-outs across Felling at any time, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Lock picking and non-destructive entry come first, every time - drilling is a last resort.

Lock Repair and Lock Changes

Stiff or jammed locks usually mean a worn cylinder or a misaligned door, and lock repairs are often more cost-effective than a full lock replacement. I'll tell you honestly which one fits your door before I start. For lost keys I'd change the cylinder rather than risk the same lock failing again - lost keys are a security issue first, and a fresh set goes in your hand before I leave. After a break-in I carry out break in repair work, securing the door and replacing the compromised cylinder so the property is back to a normal level of protection on the same visit.

Fantastic service. Collected keys for my new house and Anthony was out within hours of ringing to change the locks. Very reasonable and quoted on the phone before he came out. Job was completed quickly and even adjusted a sticking door for me whilst he was there.

Anthony is an absolute champ. He responded quickly and went above and beyond — I originally called him for a lock repair, but he also managed to fix a door that hadn’t been opened in nearly 30 years. He took the extra time to get it sorted properly. Very reasonable pricing, impeccable service, and top-quality workmanship. Highly recommended locksmith.

Anthony came to change all the locks on my new home. He was able to come on the same day I contacted him which was great for us! Very polite, friendly and professional and offered some great advice about the doors and locks. We had three locks changed and a door needed adjusting, i was very happy with the fair pricing. I would 100% recommend and I would certainly use his services again when I need. Thanks again Anthony.

Lock Types I Fit in Felling Homes

Felling homes cover the usual mix of UPVC, composite and timber doors, and I keep parts for all three in the van. The lock types I fit and repair most often are below. For most lock replacements I charge a single flat price - multipoint mechanism work is the main exception, where the part is different and the job takes longer.

Anti-Snap Euro Cylinders

Anti-snap euro cylinders are what I fit on a front door as standard - the basic tier and what most homes need. From there the upgrade ladder runs 1-star cylinders, 3-star cylinders, and a 3-star diamond secure cylinder at the top, each step adding more attack resistance. I'll talk you through the options on the phone and fit whichever high security locks suit your door and your insurance.

British Standard Mortice Locks

BS3621 mortice locks are the insurance-grade standard for wooden doors. If your current mortice doesn't carry the British Standard kitemark, I can swap it for a BS3621 equivalent on the same visit. Most home insurance policies require this on the main external door.

Multipoint Mechanisms

The multipoint mechanism inside a UPVC or composite door is the strip of hooks and rollers up the edge. When it stops engaging, the cylinder is rarely the problem - it's usually the gearbox in the middle of the strip. I can replace the gearbox alone or the whole mechanism, without removing the door, which keeps the cost down. Multipoint mechanism work is the one exception to my flat-price rule - it sits at roughly double.
