Even better, I don’t charge a callout fee on top of the work I actually do unless it’s after 10pm. That’s because I believe in being transparent about my locksmith prices, and I don’t believe people should be charged for me simply having a look and diagnosing the issue.

24 Hour Locksmith in St Helens
Lost keys and broken UPVC locks don’t always happen at the most convenient times. That’s why I offer a 24 hour locksmith service in St Helens.
As an On-Call Locksmith, my phone is always on and ready to receive calls from anyone across the St Helens area who may need a locksmith even at 3am in the dead of Winter.
I do however charge a callout fee on calls between 10pm and 8am, usually a flat fee of £60 on top of my normal locksmith prices. Pretty reasonable given the going rates for 24 hour locksmiths. But compared to what I’ve seen when customers try to gain entry themselves, my locksmith prices still save you money when compared to the cost of repairs for damage caused by the desperate customer.
So if you’ve lost your keys even well after midnight, call your 24 hours locksmith in St Helens to get you back in quickly and more affordably with non-destructive entry attempts everytime.
UPVC Door Lock Repair in St Helens
There must be hundreds-of-thousands of UPVC doors all over St Helens and the surrounding towns, and unfortunately nearly all of them will need some sort of repair or servicing in their lifespan – nothing lasts forver!
But with UPVC Door lock repair in St Helens, you can a reliable solution in LockFort Security.
UPVC door repairs are huge part of what we do every day and most of that takes place across St Helens. So whether it’s a faulty UPVC gearbox that needs changing, a stuck UPVC door, or a damaged eurocylinder lock, I’ve got you covered, 24/7.
TIP: save yourself some money by calling your locksmith as soon as the handle starts to grind when locking or unlocking your door. It could be that the door just needs realigning as they drop overtime. Leaving it longer could cause further damage and lead to a more costly repair.
Lock Replacement in St Helens
Need a lock replacement in St Helens? Maybe you lost your keys, moved house or simply want to upgrade your security.
Either way, at LockFort Security I stock a huge range of locks which I can bring to your home for a full lock replacement.
Most household lock types fall into 3 categories:
- Eurocylinder locks, found mostly in UPVC and Composite doors, may have a “thumb turner” on the inside, and come in standard, 1-star or 3-star security
- Mortice Locks – mostly found on wooden or composite doors, they sit higher up and have the function of “latching” so that the door can be open, or not fully locked. They come in standard or British Standard higher security, and can even be fitted with a 3* Rim Cylinder for extra security.
- Mortice locks, more old fashioned and usually found on wooden doors.
Whatever you need, I can get it fitted quickly and affordably in St Helens.
Locked Out in St Helens
I understand, getting locked out if one of the most frustrating things that can happen to you, especially in the middle of the night or after a holiday.
If you are locked out in St Helens, LockFort Security offers a 24/7 locksmith service to get you back in again.
I ALWAYS prefer non-destructive techniques such as lock picking, raking, bypass and bumping so as not to needlessly sacfrice an otherwise functioning lock. However, I guarantee entry by also bringing along a range of precision destructive entry locksmith tools too, for when all else fails. Mostly, those tools stay in the toolbox, but it’s my way to making sure you get back in safely and with the least amount of damage possible.
Trust me, I’ve seen too many failed attempts at homeowners trying to get back in by forcing entry and it nearly always costs more in repairs than calling a locksmith.

Do you offer emergency locksmith services in St Helens?
LockFort Security is contactable by phone 24/7 and I am able to attend emergency locksmith jobs regularly including at night. I don’t charge a callout fee before 10pm, with a £60 callout fee between 10pm and 8am.
How quickly can a locksmith get to me in St Helens?
LockFort Security is based in Newton-Le-Willows, part of St Helens. Depending on where you are, I can usually attend most areas of St Helens within 10 minutes to 30 minutes (maybe an extra 5 minutes if its late a night and I was sleeping!).
Are you a local locksmith in St Helens?
Yes, I really am a local locksmith based in St Helens, not a call centre or big marketing firm. When you call my number and I answer, you will be speaking straight to a locksmith, not a sales agent and it will be me that attends your property.
Can you open a locked door without damaging it?
Yes (or at least most of the time). Any genuine locksmith in St Helens should be attempting non-destructive entry first where possible. This usually involves picking or bypassing the lock itself. However, some locks such as old mortice locks or 3 star cylinder locks are specifically designed to be very hard or near impossible to open in a reasonable amount of time, in which case it can be faster and more economical to damage the lock to open the door. However, even destructive entry like this is done in a way that minimises damage as compared to the average homeowner attempt. This way, costs to the occupier are kept to a minimum.
What should I do if I’m locked out of my house in St Helens?
Call our St Helens locksmith now on 07891823443. Locksmiths all over the country have witnessed the results of homeowners trying to gain entry by forcing the doors and it nearly always leads to difficult or expensive repairs compared to what they would have had to pay a locksmith. We’ll be out to you ASAP, 24/7.
Can a locksmith open a uPVC door in St Helens?
Yes. UPVC doors are fairly forgiving and often feature low security eurocylinders than can easily be picked of bypassed by a trained locksmith. Call us now on 07891823443.
Do locksmiths replace locks on the same day?
Mostly, yes – I replace locks the same day as I hold a good stock of eurocylinders, rim cylinders and mortice locks. However, it depends if your door or exisitng lock is a bit special, or if you want them keyed-alike or upgraded. We try to stock locks for every eventuality, but the truth is we would need a warehouse on wheels to bring every lock to your door.
Can you help if my key has snapped in the lock?
Yes, broken keys stuck in the lock are quite a common locksmith call out around St Helens. I carry specialist key extraction tools for helping out in this exact situation.
What locks do you stock?
My stock of locks is always evolving as manufacturers keep making improvements. But usually I hold a good stock of top quality brands such as APECS, Versa, Ultion, Yale, Era and Union, including eurocylinders barrels, rim cylinders, night latches, multipoint locks and mortice locks. Most come in different security specs, such as standard, British Standard, 1-star and 3 star.
Can you help fix internal doors?
Yes, a big part of my job is fixing internal door handles, latches and locks such as bathroom door locks all over St Helens.
Do you fix UPVC handles?
Yes, I’m forever replacing UPVC door handles around St Helens and beyond with quality replacements.
Do you fix UPVC Windows?
Absolutely – upvc window ESPAG units or gearboxes are always failing and I’m happy to get them fixed up and replaced – far cheaper than buying new glazing units!
