I'm Anthony from AD Locksmithing, a local locksmith covering Wallsend NE28 for lock repairs, lock changes, emergency lockouts and non-destructive entry. Residential and commercial. No call-out fee.
No problem, give me a call on 07865 367 298. I'll have your lock open in no time!
I carry the tools and the most common replacement locks in the van, so a lockout, a repair or a lock change can be handled in a single visit.
Locked out? I aim to reach you in 20-30 minutes for most call-outs, and I'll give you an honest estimate when you call. Non-destructive entry is how I approach every lockout, and it works in about 99% of cases, so your door and frame stay intact. Lost keys, worn euro cylinders, snapped keys and multipoint mechanisms that no longer engage are all faults I open and repair. As an emergency locksmith I'm available around the clock, evenings, weekends and bank holidays included.
A stiff lock is usually a worn cylinder or a door that has dropped on its hinges, and a repair is often the better fix - I'll say so before we agree anything. For lost or stolen keys I change the cylinder on the same visit. After a break-in I carry out burglary repairs: compromised cylinders out, the door re-aligned, new locks fitted. On timber doors that means mortice locks, rim cylinders and lever handles; on UPVC and composite, the multipoint mechanism up the edge of the door, where I can replace the gearbox alone or the whole unit without taking the door off.
I cover shops, units and rental property in Wallsend as well as homes: lock changes between tenancies, lockouts, repairs, and master key systems where one key hierarchy is needed across several doors. Call ahead for non-urgent work and I'll book a time that suits.
I believe that the true measure of my service is reflected in the voices of my customers.
It's one thing for me to tell you about the dedication and expertise I bring to each task. Yet, hearing it directly from those who have experienced my services is entirely different. These testimonials highlight the quality of my work and my commitment to creating lasting relationships with every client I have the privilege of assisting.
Two Wallsend jobs I have written up in full. Both are the kind of work I do across NE28.
An ERA Fortress mortice lock on a wooden front door. The customer had locked the door and lost her key, with the spare sitting inside. I picked the lock open with a picking wire and a tension tool, which typically takes anything from 5 to 15 minutes. No drilling, no damage to the door or the lock, and she used the spare afterwards to check it still turned properly. Read the full write-up.
A key snapped off in the rim cylinder of a front door. The back door was open so nobody was locked out, but the front door could not be opened from the outside. I took the night latch and cylinder off and pushed the broken piece out from the back of the keyway. The retaining screws had worked loose and were making the cylinder turn oddly, so I tightened those in the same visit. Read the full write-up.
I'm the only person you'll deal with, from the first call to the lock being fitted.
No call-out fee - you pay for the work done, nothing extra.
Direct contact - the call comes to me, not a call centre.
Fast response - I'll give you an honest arrival estimate when you call.
Honest advice - I'll say if a repair beats a replacement.
I cover the whole of Wallsend NE28 - the town centre, Rosehill, High Farm, Hadrian Park, Battle Hill, Holy Cross, Willington Quay and Howdon. Wallsend sits in North Tyneside, so I work across the borough too, from North Shields to Longbenton and Newcastle. The whole borough is on my North Tyneside page, the full postcode list on areas I cover.
