What Shoreham-by-Sea Customers Say
Double glazing lock on our Worthing bay window packed up with the window ajar. Secured the same evening, part fitted two days later exactly as promised. Reassuring from start to finish.
Mum locked herself out of her Worthing bungalow and was quite upset. They were patient, quick and kind — she was back inside with the kettle on within the hour.
Moved into a place near Worthing seafront and had all the locks changed. Anti-snap cylinders throughout, one visit, and the old locks left with us as asked.
Our Eastbourne semi's uPVC front door dropped and stopped catching. Realigned and serviced in forty minutes at the price quoted on the phone. No fuss at all.
Window locks fitted through our Eastbourne house for the insurance renewal. Sensible advice about which windows counted, neat work, fair price.
Emergency call-out in Eastbourne when the front door lock failed at night with us outside. Opened, secured and a new cylinder fitted there and then. Couldn't ask for more.

Shoreham-by-Sea Locksmith FAQs
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 BN 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 — and along this coast, freeing seized and corroded locks is half the job. Weatherproof replacements are carried in the van.
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.
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Shoreham-by-Sea?
Our engineers cover the whole BN postcode area — Brighton, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Worthing and Eastbourne — with most call-outs reached in 15–30 minutes, day or night.
Which BN postcodes do you cover?
All of them — Brighton (BN1–BN2), Worthing (BN11–BN14), Lancing (BN15), Eastbourne (BN20–BN23) and Shoreham-by-Sea (BN43), plus the coast and downland villages between.
How much does a locksmith cost in Shoreham-by-Sea?
Prices start from £39 and you get a fixed quote before any work starts. There are no hidden call-out fees, and the price quoted on the phone is the price you pay.
Locksmith Cover Across Shoreham-by-Sea and the BN Postcode Area
When you call a locksmith in Shoreham-by-Sea, you're calling a team that already knows the BN postcode area — Brighton, Eastbourne, Lancing and Worthing included. That local knowledge is what keeps response times down, whatever time of day or night you call. Our Brighton team covers the whole BN area, so Shoreham-by-Sea gets the same fast response.
What BN Postcode Coverage Means for You
BN is a big postcode area to cover properly, so we don't rely on a single locksmith trying to be everywhere at once. Several locksmiths work across Shoreham-by-Sea and the wider area day and night, which is why the 15-30 minute response holds up even when things get busy.
What Happens When You Call
You'll speak to a real person, not a script. We'll ask a few quick questions — what kind of lock, whether you're locked out or the lock itself has failed, and roughly where in Shoreham-by-Sea you are — so the locksmith heading your way already knows what to bring. You'll get a price before anyone starts work, and that price won't change once you've agreed it, regardless of the time or day.
Moving Into a New Home in Shoreham-by-Sea
Moving home in Shoreham-by-Sea? Changing the locks before you move in is one of the simplest security steps you can take. You can't know how many keys are still out there from previous owners, tenants or tradespeople, and a standard cylinder change is usually sorted in one visit, with locks from £25 and the fitting quoted up front.
Anti-Snap Cylinders and Everyday Security
Many of the uPVC doors around Shoreham-by-Sea, especially on estates built in the 1990s and 2000s, were originally fitted with standard euro cylinders that offer little resistance against snapping. Upgrading to an anti-snap, British Standard cylinder is one of the most cost-effective security improvements you can make to a uPVC door, and it's often a like-for-like swap that takes less time than people expect. If your current cylinder sticks in cold weather or feels loose, that's usually a sign it's worth having checked.
After Losing Your Keys
Lost keys, rather than keys mislaid somewhere at home, are worth taking seriously — especially if anything on the keyring could identify where they open. A same-day cylinder change is usually possible, and if you're locked out while you wait, we'll get you back inside first and sort the lock change once you're safe indoors.
Whatever's brought you here — a lockout in Shoreham-by-Sea, a jammed mechanism nearby, or a security upgrade before winter — the same call gets the same answer: a locksmith on the way within 15-30 minutes, a clear price, and no call-out fee. Call 0333 344 6467 any time, day or night.
