Emergency locksmith in Marchwood?
Yes, we are here day and night for Marchwood and the wider SO40 area. Being based on the Waterside means we are usually with you quickly whether you are near Marchwood Village, off Main Road, or up by Twiggs Lane and the recreation ground. Call us on 07453327708 and we will tell you honestly how long we will be before you commit to anything.
Locked out in Marchwood?
Locked out is the call we get most, and the good news is most doors open without damage. We use non-destructive entry wherever we can, which starts from £80 and gets you back inside without ruining the lock or the door. If you have snapped a key in the barrel, our broken key removal service starts from just £15, so do not go drilling anything before you ring us.
What to do while you wait
Check around the house first. People in Marchwood often have a back door, a side gate or a window left on the latch, and that can save you a job altogether. If you are genuinely stuck, stay put somewhere safe and warm and let us do the rest.
Need a lock change in Marchwood?
We change locks from £90, whether a key has gone missing, a tenant has moved on, or a lock has simply worn out. A lot of the housing around Marchwood has uPVC doors, and the weak point on those is nearly always the euro cylinder. If yours sits proud of the handle or wobbles, that is worth sorting, because a snappable cylinder is the easiest way into a uPVC door.
One useful security tip for Marchwood homes
For wooden front and back doors, check whether your nightlatch or deadlock is BS3621 rated. That British Standard is what most home insurers expect, and a non-compliant lock can leave you out of pocket on a claim. We fit insurance-approved BS3621 locks and can tell you in a minute whether yours makes the grade. While we are there, ask about a police-approved key safe, fitted from £120, which is handy for carers, family and trades.
Boarding up and other jobs
If a door or window has been forced or broken, we board up securely from £80 to £150 depending on the size, so your home is safe until a proper repair. We cover Marchwood as part of the wider Waterside area, and we are just as quick to neighbouring Dibden and across to Blackfield when needed.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you get to Marchwood?
We aim to be with you in under 30 minutes from our Waterside base. Ring us and we will give you a straight answer based on where we are at the time.
Do you charge a call-out fee or VAT?
No on both counts. There is no call-out fee and no VAT to add, so the price we quote is the price you pay.
Will you damage my door getting me back in?
In most cases, no. We open the great majority of locks without damage using non-destructive entry, and we only ever discuss replacing anything once you are safely back inside.
