Not sure what lock you have?

  • uPVC doors typically use a euro cylinder with a multipoint locking system
  • Lock at shoulder height? Likely a night latch
  • Lock at waist height? More likely a mortice lock

We’ll confirm on the phone before we arrive.

Security standards

Insurance-approved security

Standard lock cylinders can be defeated in under 15 seconds using a technique called lock snapping, a well-known design weakness that’s put homes at risk for years.

We fit anti-snap, insurance-approved cylinders and British Standard locks (BS3621, TS007, and where relevant BS8621/BS10621) that meet the requirements of major UK home insurers. Ask about an installation certificate, which can help support a reduction in your premium.

Customer reviews

What Belfast customers say

Rated excellent on Trustpilot

★★★★★

Small business broken into, gutted and a bit lost. Coworker recommended I get in touch with Locksmith Belfast to do a complete reinstall of new locks. They were able to fit me in quickly and get us secure again in 48 hours, we missed barely any trading time and the work was finished to a great standard.
Lynsey Jackson Antrim Road

★★★★★

Callout was surprisingly quick, with us in about 15 minutes! Polite, very efficient and effective — sorted the removal of a broken key with no damage to our door or lock which amazed me. They saved us from a long and very chilly evening in the front garden.
John Irwin Hillsborough

★★★★★

A recent break-in had us feeling especially vulnerable in our own home. Locksmith Belfast were excellent from start to finish. Understanding and compassionate, my daughter and I felt immediately at ease and confident in the work carried out. Would recommend to anyone.
Amy Swail Stranmillis

★★★★★

January, 11 o’clock at night, lost keys and traditional Northern Irish bucketing rain… quick search and Locksmith Belfast are there in less than half an hour. Got me back in the house in no time and very reasonably priced. 5 stars all the way.
