“Ash was brilliant. Communication excellent. Sorted a temporary lock for us so we were secure and then returned as promised to fit a new lock. Quoted price ahead of doing the work. Highly recommend.”

“I called Urban Locksmith to change 5 locks in our house after recently moving in. Their quote was better than the other three companies we contacted, plus a price promise to beat any written quote by 5%. Ashley arrived on time, very polite, changed all 5 locks in half an hour and explained the 12-month warranty. He tested every lock with us and even carried a card machine. Highly recommend for excellent price and fantastic service.”
Customer Review
“Locked myself out at 11pm on a Sunday. Ash was here in under 25 minutes and had me back in within 5. Incredible service — and didn't touch the lock.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. We never charge a call-out fee — you only pay for the work carried out and any parts used. We'll always give you a clear quote before starting.
How quickly can you reach me?
Our average emergency arrival time is 30 minutes across St Neots, Cambridge, Bedford and Huntingdon. We'll give you a realistic ETA the moment you call.
Will you damage my door when you open it?
Almost never. Nine out of ten lockouts are opened non-destructively using picking, bumping or decoding. We only drill as a last resort and with your consent.
Are your locks insurance-approved?
Yes. We fit BS3621 5-lever mortice deadlocks on timber doors and TS007 3-star anti-snap Euro cylinders on uPVC/composite doors — both meet UK home insurance requirements.
Do you cover CCTV as well as locks?
Yes — Urban Locksmith & CCTV Services. We design and install 2MP–4K systems for homes, shops and trade premises, with mobile app setup before we leave.
Are your engineers vetted?
Every engineer is DBS-checked, we're Safe Contractor approved and a member of the Master Locksmiths Association — so the person at your door is exactly who you'd expect.
