Welcome to KJ Locksmiths North Somerset

£90 fixed fee applies for Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm standard locksmith lock changes or repairs, where the door is already open. There will be an additional fee for supplying locks or for dealing with a locked out situation. This is due to the complex nature of our work where we may need to use additional tools and expertise to open the door.

 

When having a lock changed, this £90 fee covers the first hour of labour. If you are having a lot of locks changed – on rare occasions we may need to charge for a second hour. You will be advised during the call if this is a possibility.

 

Additional fees will apply out of hours – after 5pm for example the price increases and after midnight the price will be higher again due to the emergency call out nature of the work

 

You will be given a fixed price when you call and there will be no extras (unless for example your lock is substantially different than the one you describe for any reason) – we do not charge VAT unlike 90% of our competitors who will add it on top only once they arrive and ask for payment

 

We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of 50% of the job charge in the event that our locksmith has already been dispatched. Please consider this when booking. This is because we may have turned away other jobs, incurred petrol charges and also interrupted our day to day lives if you are calling out of hours.

Here at KJ Locksmiths, North Somerset, we do a whole lot more than merely picking open locks. We’re also experts in lock repair and replacement, UPVC doors, fitting new British Standards locks and emergency door opening. Here are six of the most common reasons why people find they need our services.

 

 

We’ve all been there - standing outside of our property, usually in the rain, with the door firmly locked behind us. It can be tempting to try and pick your locks yourself or to try and break-in to another area of your home, but this can cause more harm than good to your locks, and so it’s often best to call out a local locksmith who can regain you safe entry to your property.

 

 

Keys are frustratingly easy to lose, but if you lose your key outside of your home, then you have potentially left yourself open to being burgled. If you lose your key, then we can help to change your locks and to cut you a new set of keys so that your property stays secure.

 

 

Over time, keys can wear thin and eventually they may break when inside of your lock. Sometimes, the broken piece of the key will come out of the lock, and all you need is a simple key replacement, but other times, the broken portion of your key can get jammed, and you will require the services of a locksmith to get it out without damaging your lock. We have a number of tricks up our sleeve to retrieve damaged keys while leaving your delicate locking mechanism intact.

 

 

Receiving the keys to a new property is extremely exciting, but who knows how many other copies of the key the previous owner had laying around or gave to their friends and family. To secure your new home, it’s often advised that you replace your locks on move-in day so that you can sleep soundly knowing that no one can enter your property.

 

 

You may not be able to lose the key to an electronic keypad, but you can forget the code. We don’t just fix traditional locks, we also provide services for electronic locks too, and can reset and re-code your pin code if you find yourself locked out.

 

 

Like keys, locks can quickly become damaged over time due to bad weather, attempted break-ins or simply over-use. Sometimes, the damage can cause a lock to seize shut, in which case, a locksmith can help you to gain access to your property, and other times the lock can stop locking, in which case a locksmith can replace or repair the lock to allow you to safely secure your belongings.

 

These are just six of the most common reasons why people may need the service of an experienced locksmith. If any of these sound a little too familiar to you and you need assistance from a Locksmith in North Somerset or Bath straight away, then give us a call on 07883 448936, and our 24-hour locksmith, Kirk, will be on his way.
