We offer a 24 hour emergency locksmith service in Preston 365 days a year. Whether your locked out or you have a door that wont lock we can respond quickly to emergencies in all areas of the city.

When we arrive, the first thing we will do is assess the situation and confirm the cost before any work is carried out. There’s no call out fee or extra charges for emergency work in Preston.

Lock Opening

In most cases we can open locks in Preston non destructively. This means no damage to the lock. If you’ve locked your keys inside the property or have a spare inside there would be no need to change the lock. If on the rare occasion a lock does need to be drilled, we will always explain why before we do anything and replace it at the same time on the same visit.

We handle lockouts from houses, flats, HMOs and commercial premises right across the city,from the terraced streets of Deepdale and Ribbleton to student lets near the University of Central Lancashire in the Fulwood and Moor Park area. If you have lost your keys, snapped a key in the lock, or you’ve  pulled the door shut behind you and its locked automatically, give us a call and we will get you back inside quickly.

Lock Changes and Lock Upgrades

If you have moved into a new property, had a break-in, or just want to know that your locks are up to current standards, we can assess the situation and provide advice on the most suitable upgrade.

A lot of properties in Preston still have locks that offer very little resistance to common attack methods. The Victorian terraces around Avenham and Fishergate often still have older night latches and cheap rim locks fitted, while newer build estates around Cottam and Lea tend to have basic Euro cylinders that haven’t been upgraded since the property was built. Both can be bypassed quickly by anyone who knows what they are doing. Upgrading to a British Standard lock is one of the most effective things you can do to improve your home security without the need to spend lots of money.

We supply and fit lock upgrades from all the leading manufacturers including Yale, Union ERA and Apecs.

Multi points Locks

Multi point locks are found on uPVC, composite and Bi-fold doors throughout Preston. These locks offer excellent security allowing doors to lock in multiple places.

Multipoint locks suffer from a few common failures usually due to age or a misaligned door and frame. The first signs of this is usually a door that becomes increasingly difficult to close or lock. If you notice these early warning signs we can realign your door without using parts saving a significant amount over a replacement upvc or composite door lock.

If your uPVC or composite door lock has failed completely it will either  leave you unable to lock or unlock your door. When this happens we can supply and fit a new gearbox or full multi point locking system leaving your door functioning perfectly again. If the reason for the failure was a miss alignment we will realign it at the same time protecting the life span of your new multi point locking system.

Safes Supplied and Fitted Preston

Longridge Locksmiths Ltd supplies and fits safes for homeowners and businesses across Preston. Whether you want somewhere secure to store documents, cash or jewellery we can help you choose the right safe and install it correctly anywhere in Preston.

A safe that is not properly installed is a huge security risk. We fit safes to floors and walls depending on the type and location, and we will always advise on the best position for both security and practicality.

We supply safes rated to different insurance approval levels, so if your home or business insurance policy specifies a minimum cash or valuables rating, we can make sure that the safe you buy meets those requirements. We supply and fit safes in Preston that have either a traditional key, a dial or a digital keypad.

If you are not sure what type of safe you need, provide us the details of what you want to protect and we will help purchase the correct safe for your needs.

Anti Snap Locks

We supply and fit 3 star anti snap locks in Preston designed to stop the most common burglary method in the city.

Lock snapping is on the rise and allows burglars to gain entry to euro cylinder type locks in seconds. This entry method can be easily stopped with a single upgrade to anti snap locks.

If your unsure if your locks are at risk of forced entry via lock snapping you can send us a picture and we can give you advise on whether an upgrade is needed.

Landlord and Letting Agent Services

Preston has a large rental market and we work with a number of landlords and letting agents in the city. Between tenancies it is always worth changing the locks as a matter of course rather than relying on previous tenants having returned all their keys.
