Local Locksmith Manchester, Salford & Surrounding Areas
After more than 15 years in the locksmith industry, I’ve learned a lot — including how I didn’t want to run my own business. I started out with larger national locksmith companies and saw how many layers could sit between the customer and the locksmith doing the job. Customers could end up paying more, while the locksmith received only part of it.
I remember thinking there had to be a better way. So I decided to build something different — an independent Manchester locksmith business where you deal directly with the person doing the work, without call centres or unnecessary middlemen.
It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m proud of what I’ve built. With more than 800 genuine 5-star Google reviews and counting, I’m grateful to every customer who has trusted me over the years.

How Much Does a Locksmith In Manchester Cost?
Many locksmith companies in Manchester advertise low prices, but these don’t always show the full cost. Call-out fees, VAT and extra charges can be added later. I believe you should know the real price before work begins, so I publish my prices clearly below with no hidden extras. These are some of my most common services, but I provide many more. If you need something not listed, just give me a call.

The 20% discount is available for daytime appointments Monday to Friday and does not apply to evenings, weekends or bank holidays.

The Most Popular Locks
I supply and fit all types of locks, but these are three of the most popular options I regularly fit for customers across Manchester. The photos below show what each type looks like, making it easier to identify your existing lock.
Euro Cylinder
A popular choice for uPVC and composite doors, commonly found in homes and flats across Manchester.
Rim Cylinder
Often known as a Yale lock, this type of cylinder is commonly used with night latches on wooden front doors.
Mortice Lock
A common choice for wooden doors, with the lock fitted inside the door rather than on the surface.
Need a different type of lock? I supply and fit many other locks too. Just give me a call and I’ll be happy to help.
