What Aberdeen Customers Say
uPVC door in Bridge of Don wouldn't lift to lock anymore. Gearbox replaced the same afternoon I called, and the door works better than when we bought the house.
Key snapped in the front door before an early shift at the hospital. Broken piece out, new key cut at the van, and I was on my way in under an hour from calling.
Just moved into a place in Cults and wanted every lock changed. Booked for the next morning, all done in one visit with anti-snap cylinders, and he left the old locks with us as asked.
Our letting agent recommended them for a tenant changeover in Old Aberdeen. Quick to book, tidy work, invoice emailed the same day. We use them for all our properties now.
Window handles on the seaward side of the house in Torry had seized solid. Both freed and one replaced, and he explained how the salt air gets into the mechanisms out here.
Locked out of the office in the city centre before a 9am meeting with the keys inside. Genuinely thought the day was ruined, but he had the door open in time for me to set up the room.

Aberdeen Locksmith FAQs
Will my home insurance accept the locks you fit?
Yes — we fit BS3621 mortice locks and TS007-rated cylinders, the standards most home insurance policies ask for. If your policy names a specific standard, tell us on the phone and we'll bring the right lock.
Do you work with landlords and letting agents in Aberdeen?
Yes — tenant changeovers, lost-key lock changes and urgent lockouts for managed and student properties are everyday work for us across Aberdeen. Invoices are provided for every job.
My door handle is loose or floppy — what does that mean?
On a uPVC or composite door, a floppy handle usually means the gearbox inside the multipoint mechanism has failed. We can normally replace the gearbox alone rather than the whole mechanism.
How long does a lock change take?
A standard cylinder change takes around 30 minutes; a mortice lock or multipoint mechanism around an hour. Nearly all lock changes in the AB area are completed in a single visit.
Can you open garages, sheds and outbuildings?
Yes. Garage doors, shed padlocks, gates and outbuildings are all covered — seized and corroded locks are a regular request near the coast, where the salt air is hard on metal.
Can you cut new keys on site?
For most standard cylinders, yes — replacement keys are cut at the van during the same visit, so a snapped or lost key doesn't have to mean a trip into town.
What payment methods do you accept?
Card, cash or bank transfer, whatever suits — payment is only taken once the job is done, and you'll always get a receipt or invoice.
Locksmith Cover Across Aberdeen and the AB Postcode Area
Aberdeen is the heart of the AB postcode area, and that's the ground our locksmiths cover every day, day or night. Wherever you're calling from within AB, the same team, the same pricing and the same 15-30 minute response applies.
What AB Postcode Coverage Means for You
Covering the whole of AB doesn't mean one locksmith trying to reach every job. It means enough people working across Aberdeen and the surrounding districts that wherever you call from, someone is realistically close by. That's what keeps response times down even during busy periods — Friday and Saturday nights, or the first cold snap of autumn when uPVC doors tend to play up.
What Happens When You Call
Every call is answered by a person, day or night. We'll ask what's happened, what kind of lock is involved, and where in Aberdeen you're calling from, so the right locksmith with the right kit is sent straight away. You'll always know the price before anyone touches the lock.
Moving Into a New Home in Aberdeen
If you've just picked up the keys to a new home anywhere in Aberdeen, it's worth changing the locks before you move your things in. You have no way of knowing how many sets of keys were cut for previous owners, tenants or tradespeople over the years, and a lock change is a small cost against that uncertainty. It's routine work for us — most standard cylinder changes on a Aberdeen front door are completed in a single visit, with the lock itself from £25 and the fitting quoted before we start.
Anti-Snap Cylinders and Everyday Security
A lot of the older uPVC doors in Aberdeen still have standard euro cylinders fitted, which offer little resistance against snapping. Swapping to an anti-snap, British Standard cylinder is a straightforward, cost-effective upgrade — usually a like-for-like fit — and it's worth having checked if yours sticks in cold weather or feels loose in the lock.
After Losing Your Keys
If your keys have gone missing rather than simply mislaid at home, changing the lock is the sensible next step, particularly if there's anything on the keyring — an address, a fob, a car key — that could identify where they open. We can usually get a replacement cylinder fitted the same day, and if you're locked out in the meantime, we'll get you back inside first and talk through the lock change once you're safely indoors.
Lockout, jammed mechanism or a security upgrade before winter — whatever's brought you here, the answer is the same: a Aberdeen locksmith on the way within 15-30 minutes, a clear price agreed up front, and no call-out fee. Call 0333 344 6467 any time, day or night.
Your Local Locksmith in Aberdeen
Aberdeen postcodes covered: AB10, AB11, AB12, AB13, AB14, AB15, AB16, AB21, AB22, AB23, AB24, AB25
Aberdeen is a city of granite tenements, harbour-side terraces and newer suburbs, and each brings our engineers different work. In the older streets around Rosemount, Ferryhill and Old Aberdeen it's traditional mortice locks, storm doors and communal entrances; out in Bridge of Don, Dyce, Cults and Kincorth it's uPVC and composite doors with multipoint mechanisms that stop lifting and locking. Living this close to the North Sea has one more effect people don't expect: salt air corrodes exposed locks, so seized padlocks, stiff cylinders and jammed window handles are regular call-outs, especially in Torry and along the seafront.
Our locksmiths cover every city postcode — AB10 to AB16 and AB21 to AB25 — around the clock, with most addresses reached in 15–30 minutes. Night lockouts are the emergency we attend most in Aberdeen, and the price agreed on the phone, from £39, is the price you pay whatever the hour.
Jobs We Attend Most Across the AB Area
What locals actually call us about — based on the call-outs our AB locksmiths handle week in, week out.
Lock changes after moving home
New house or flat, unknown keys. Every external lock changed in a single visit, with insurance-rated anti-snap cylinders fitted as standard.
Night and weekend lockouts
The most common emergency call across Aberdeen — keys locked inside, lost on a night out, or a door that won't open. We're at most addresses within half an hour, at any hour.
uPVC door mechanism faults
Doors that won't lift, lock or open because the multipoint gearbox has worn out — everyday work in the newer suburbs like Bridge of Don and Dyce, usually fixed in one visit.
Seized and corroded locks
Salt air off the North Sea is hard on exposed metal. Padlocks, gate locks and window mechanisms that have seized solid are freed or replaced with weather-resistant kit.
