Locksmith Services in Fareham
One local team, fully equipped for every job across Fareham and the PO postcode area — emergency call-outs and planned work alike.
Emergency Lockout Fareham
Locked out after a dockyard shift, a missed ferry, or just an ordinary bad afternoon? A person answers 24/7 across the whole PO area, most Portsmouth addresses are reached inside half an hour, and nobody pushes a lock you don't need.
Lock Change & Fitting Fareham
Moving day, a tenant changeover, or a house where nobody can say how many keys are out there — we change locks across the whole PO area the same day, from £39, fitting British Standard anti-snap cylinders with an invoice ready for landlords and agents.
Lock Repair Fareham
Front door lock repair is one of Portsmouth's most-searched jobs, and the coastal air here works on old mechanisms faster than inland towns manage. We repair what will hold and replace only the worn part, rather than quoting for a whole new lock.
uPVC Door Lock Repair Fareham
uPVC door repairs are the single biggest search theme across the whole PO area, from Portsmouth's tightly packed terraces to Fareham's newer estates. A handle that's gone floppy and stopped throwing the locks means a worn gearbox, and we carry the common parts to replace just that piece in one visit.
Window Lock Fitting & Repair Fareham
Double glazing repairs and window repairs are named searches everywhere from Portsmouth to Chichester. Handles that have seized after years of salt air, mechanisms that give up quietly, and insurance-renewal checks are all sorted in a single call-out.
Door Repair Fareham
Doors that stick, drop or won't close properly, adjusted and repaired across the PO area.
High-Security Lock Fitting Fareham
Anti-snap and British Standard locks fitted for extra peace of mind.
Broken Key Removal Fareham
Key replacement is a leading PO search. We work the broken piece out without forcing the lock, show you the worn barrel that's usually behind it, and cut fresh keys at the van the same visit.

What Fareham Customers Say
Handles on three windows across the front of our estate house near the precinct had all seized up the same year, which is apparently normal for houses built together like ours. All three freed and serviced in one visit, fairly priced.
Moved into a house on one of the older estates and had no idea who still had keys after two previous tenants. New cylinders fitted front and back the same afternoon, spares cut on the spot, and he explained the whole job as he went.
Front door lock on our Southsea terrace had been sticking for months — sea air off the front does that to a mechanism round here — until the barrel seized solid. He showed me the corrosion on the old cylinder, swapped that one part rather than the whole lock, and it turns with one finger now.
Locked out at half five in the morning coming off a dockyard night shift, keys still on the kitchen table. He was through the traffic from Fratton in under twenty minutes, in without a mark on the door, and didn't try to sell me a new lock I didn't need.
uPVC door on the rear extension of our Baffins house stopped throwing the locks properly — handle just flopped. He diagnosed a worn gearbox on the step, had the part on the van, done inside forty minutes. Straightforward and no fuss.
Missed the last Gosport ferry back and got in gone midnight to find the front door mechanism had failed while we were out. Called the emergency line, a real person answered straight away, and he had us secure again within the half hour. Fair price for that time of night too.

Fareham Locksmith FAQs
Do you offer a genuine emergency locksmith service in Fareham?
Yes — emergency call-outs are the highest-demand search in the PO area, and it's a real engineer, not a booking system, who answers day or night. Most Portsmouth addresses are reached within 30 minutes of the call.
Can you open a safe if the key is lost or the code forgotten in Fareham?
Yes — safe opening is a named search across PO and a job we do regularly. Domestic and small commercial safes are opened, and where the lock itself has failed we can replace or re-key it afterwards.
Will my home insurance accept the locks you fit in Fareham?
Yes — we fit BS3621 mortice locks and TS007-rated anti-snap cylinders, the standards most home insurance policies in the PO area ask for. Tell us your policy's requirement on the phone and we'll bring the right lock.
Do you work with landlords, letting agents and Navy families in Fareham?
All the time — Portsmouth is the Royal Navy's home port, so postings and deployments mean tenant turnover most cities don't see, and student lets near the university add to it. A key per tenant and an invoice for the agent, every time.
You cover Gosport — how do you get there quickly from Portsmouth?
By road round the harbour via Fareham, not by ferry — we keep an engineer based on the Gosport and Fareham side of the water so a passenger ferry timetable is never what stands between you and a locksmith.
How long does a lock change take in Fareham?
A standard cylinder change takes around 30 minutes; a mortice lock or uPVC multipoint mechanism around an hour. Nearly all lock changes across the PO area are finished in a single visit.
Can you open garages, sheds and outbuildings in Fareham?
Yes. Garages, shed padlocks, gates and outbuildings are all covered across the PO area, whether the key's been lost or the lock has simply seized.
Locksmith Cover Across Fareham and the PO Postcode Area
Fareham sits at the centre of the PO postcode area, and that's the ground our locksmiths cover every day — not just Fareham itself, but Portsmouth, Chichester, Gosport, Havant and Waterlooville too. Whether you're in a terraced street near the centre or a newer estate on the edge of town, the same team, the same pricing and the same 15-30 minute response applies. Our Portsmouth team covers the whole PO area, so Fareham gets the same fast response.
What PO Postcode Coverage Means for You
Covering the whole of PO doesn't mean one locksmith trying to reach every job. It means enough people working across Fareham 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 Fareham 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 Fareham
If you've just picked up the keys to a new home anywhere in Fareham, 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 Fareham 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 Fareham 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 Fareham 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 Fareham
Fareham postcodes covered: PO14, PO15, PO16, PO17
Fareham sits at the head of its own creek off Portsmouth Harbour, halfway between Portsmouth and Southampton, with a town centre shopping precinct and new estates spreading out toward the Welborne development on what used to be farmland. Newer builds bring their own locksmith problems — uPVC gearboxes on two-year-old doors giving up early, often down to how they were fitted rather than how they've been used — while emergency locksmith fareham and 24 hour cover are the searches that carry the real spend here, well ahead of routine repairs.
Engineers cover Fareham day and night, reaching most addresses in 25–35 minutes, with pricing fixed from £39 first.
