  • We rang Power Lock & Security when we discovered that we had lost both keys for our summerhouse. Their communications were excellent. They arrived at the agreed time and within 15 minutes the door had been opened the lock changed, and we were presented with 5 keys. If you want speedy service and quality work, look no further.

  • I absolutely recommend Power Lock & Security. Liam provided a great service, took the time and extra care to make sure our new door buzzer worked properly whilst ensuring we were happy with the buzzer and handset speaker volume at both ends. 5 stars!

  • We've had Liam out twice now. Both times were almost emergencies. He was prompt, efficient, and very reasonably priced. The second visit was ongoing issues with two different doors, which he diagnosed and sorted in no time at all! Highly recommend

  • We used Power Lock & Security to install a new buzzer system and individual in-flat handsets in our block. Liam was exceptional, providing clear and impartial insights pre-project, keeping us updated throughout the installation process and going above and beyond to meet tight deadlines. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for locksmith services.

  • Liam came this week to fix a faulty door entry system. The different repair options were clearly explained, and the problem was sorted out quickly and for a fair price, which was clearly stated up-front. Very happy customer.

FAQs

Common questions

Need help now? Phone 0131 358 9585.

Will you have to break the lock?

Usually not. Most doors can be opened by picking the lock or working the latch. Drilling is the last resort, and a drilled lock must then be replaced.

Can you change the lock on the same visit?

Yes, where we carry a lock that fits your door. For uncommon locks we secure the door and come back with the right part.

What should I do after a break-in?

Call the police first and get a crime reference number for your insurer. Do not touch the damaged lock or frame until the police say you can. Then call us.
