Locksmith questions, answered

It depends on where you are and how busy we are at the time. As a local, Glasgow-based team we aim to get to you as quickly as we safely can — call us and we'll give you an honest estimate for your location before we set off.

Yes. "All keys lost" is a common job for us. For most vehicles we can gain non-destructive entry, then cut and programme a new key on site so you can get moving again. Tell us the make, model and year when you call so we can confirm what's involved.

In most cases, yes — including spare keys, worn keys and damaged remote fobs. Keys are cut and coded to your vehicle. Availability varies by make and model, so it's best to call with your registration and we'll let you know before any work begins.

We do. We look after shops, offices and units — from emergency lockouts and lock repairs to master-key suites, panic hardware, access control and securing premises after a break-in.

Yes — UPVC doors are one of our specialisms. Common issues include doors that have dropped out of alignment, failed multipoint gearboxes and euro cylinders that need upgrading to snap-safe. We carry common parts, and where a part needs ordering we'll make sure your door is left secure in the meantime.

Stay somewhere safe and give us a call. Let us know your location, the type of door or lock, and whether it's a home, business or vehicle. In most cases we can gain entry without damaging the door. Please don't force the lock yourself — that often makes the repair more costly.

No — there's no call-out charge and no hidden fees for evenings or weekends. We agree the price with you before we start, and you don't pay until the job's done.

Yes. LKC is City & Guilds accredited, Disclosure Scotland (DBS) checked and fully insured — so you can be confident about who's turning up at your door.

We're based in Glasgow's East End and cover the city and the wider region — including South Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire and Central Scotland. Call us and we'll confirm we can reach you.

The branded parts we install carry a 12-month guarantee against manufacturing defects. We only fit trusted brands like Yale, ERA, Union and Ultion.

Yes. A common upgrade is swapping a vulnerable euro cylinder for an anti-snap, snap-safe cylinder such as Ultion, and fitting insurance-approved BS3621 locks where suitable. We're happy to advise on the right level of security for your door.

We accept all major debit and credit cards, and payment is taken on completion once you're happy the job's done.
