Rated the Best Locksmith Wakefield

When you find yourself in a situation where you need a locksmith in Wakefield, you’re sure to want a service that is both high quality and budget friendly. At Wakefield Lock and Key Centre, we offer a round the clock service so that you can get the support you need whenever you need us.

As a quality locksmith, we offer emergency callouts and take pride in being able to offer a one-hour call out service when you need us the most. The great thing about supporting a locally run locksmith is that you get a quicker response and can support a local business who invests in the local area.

Why You Need to Think About Home Security

The most common method of break-in is through the cylinder on uPVC doors. Upgrade your locks to the latest snap safe high security cylinders!

Sadly, many of our clients find that they call us out in an emergency because they did not take the time to arrange adequate security before falling victim to a break in. Rather than experiencing this first hand, why not think about security now so that you can feel confident that your property will remain secure?

It’s a sad fact that many areas are experiencing a rise in theft and vandalism, with many home and business owners unprepared for such anti social behaviour. When you come to Wakefield Lock and Key Centre, we will help you to plan a security system that covers everything you need and then install it for you professionally and efficiently.

We even offer a free window and door checking service so that you can find out if your home security meets the standards set out by most insurance companies. If it doesn’t, we will provide you with a no-obligation quote to get it sorted and leave you to decide whether you want to proceed – getting a free check by an expert service just makes sense!

  • Locked out? We’ll be with you in 60 minutes!
  • We can change all uPVC Cylinder and Wooden Mortice locks
  • We repair broken uPVC door mechanisms
  • We upgrade locks to high security cylinders

We had an issue with our back door. It would not lock or unlock from the inside. Phoned Wakefield Lock and Key in the morning to request an afternoon appointment. The receptionist was very knowledgeable and gave me a price range and asked if I wanted a call before the appointment. Terry was very professional. He explained everything fully and there was no heavy selling. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the new lock.

Absolutely fantastic service. I went in to have 3 keys cut for my front door and was quoted a very reasonable price (much cheaper than a certain well known chain of locksmiths and shoe repairers).Unfortunately, the keys were cut from the wrong key on my bunch which might well have been my error when handing them over.Luke could not have been more helpful and not only cut three of the correct key for me, but was very happy for me to keep the others. I tried to offer some payment for these, but he wouldn't accept. Overall an excellent experience.
