Local Locksmith in Salford, Based on Modwen Road
Locksmith Salford is based at Units 10 & 30, Waters Edge Business Park, Modwen Road, M5 3EZ and serves Salford areas from Salford Quays and MediaCityUK in M50 to Irlam in M44. Our engineers have 15 years’ experience and specialise in domestic and commercial locksmithing.
With a mixture of terraced streets, suburban estates and modern apartment blocks on the waterfront, no two call-outs are ever the same, which is why our engineers ask a few questions about your situation, building, door and locks when you call us. This helps them bring the right tools and even cylinders with them to avoid any unnecessary delays.
Where needed, we fit locks to TS007 3 Star and BS3621 standards, and we work with Yale and Ultion products. Our engineers will always explain what’s wrong and your options before doing any work, and you decide what happens next.
A homeowner called us as her key had broken off in the lock and the other half was still in the lock. On investigation our engineer found that this was an older-style Euro cylinder which sat proud of the handle plate. After removing the broken key without causing any damage to the door our engineer found that the handle and multipoint mechanism were working fine, so after measuring up he fitted a correctly sized TS007 3-star Ultion which sits flush with the handle. The engineer was on site in 35 minutes from taking the call and the whole job took about 30 minutes. Total cost was £90 including labour, materials and VAT.

- On arrival he will establish that you are the occupier / owner or authorised to have the work carried out.

- The locks will only be repaired/replaced if necessary. He will test the door and collect the quoted price.
Salford Locksmith: Lock and Door Faults We Fix in Each Area
The faults we see most often vary from area to area and from door to door, so please tell us what kind of door you have when you phone us for a locksmith.
Ordsall and Weaste: Worn Cylinders
A key that feels loose in the cylinder can be a sign the cylinder has worn out and should be replaced, but please don’t copy worn keys, as the new key will wear too. A replacement cylinder is a lot cheaper than a new lock. We regularly call-out to Ordsall (M5) and Weaste from our Modwen Road base, reaching Ordsall via Ordsall Lane and Trafford Road, and Weaste via Regent Road.
Eccles, Monton and Winton: uPVC and Composite Doors
Eccles New Road leads us into Eccles, then on to Monton and Winton. Many homes here in M30 have uPVC or composite doors. One of the most common faults we see is a snapped euro cylinder. These older cylinders protrude from the handle and are therefore easy to snap. We recommend using TS007 3-star cylinders on uPVC and composite doors and can install a flush fitting Ultion if required.
Pendleton, Broughton and Kersal: Older Timber Doors
In Pendleton (M6), Broughton (M7) and Kersal (M25) many houses are old and have timber front doors fitted. These doors are sometimes fitted with night latches or mortice locks. We check the BS3621 marking on the faceplate before any work.
Greengate and Salford City Centre: Flats, Shops and Offices
There are lots of flats, shops and offices within a few streets of each other in Salford City Centre and around Greengate in M3, M5 and M6. When you phone us for a locksmith, let us know what kind of door it is, and we’ll do our best to get the right parts for you. We will need to see some form of ID showing you’re authorised to have work carried out before we can get started, for example, a letter from the owner of the building, a lease or a tenancy agreement.
Swinton, Worsley, Walkden and Irlam: Lost Keys and Rear Door Locks
When you have lost your keys we check every lock the key fits. We get to Swinton and Pendlebury in M27, Worsley and Walkden in M28 and Little Hulton in M38 via the M60 and East Lancashire Road. Our furthest coverage to the west is Irlam in M44.
Repair or Replace? How We Decide
Sometimes a lock is faulty but still repairable; for example, it could be a loose handle, worn cylinder, misaligned door or stiff locking mechanism. In these circumstances, if the lock is still in good order we can repair it instead of replacing it.
If the lock is damaged, worn or below the standard your insurance company requires, we can supply and fit a new one.
On timber doors we fit BS3621 locks, including Yale, and on uPVC and composite doors we fit TS007 3-star cylinders, including Ultion. We’ll provide you with a price for repair and replacement prior to starting work, so you can choose which option you would prefer.

- Ask to see photo ID and a uniform when they arrive
- Check that they can tell you clearly what training, insurance and DBS checks they have
- Make sure you’re clear on whether there is a call-out fee and what labour and parts costs will be

Frequently Asked Questions
A lockout in Salford typically costs £40 to £245, a lock repair £40 to £250 and a lock change £90 to £480. Exact costs for locksmith services in Salford vary depending on the time of day, type of lock, door condition, and part needed. All our prices are inclusive of labour, parts and VAT.
In most cases our locksmith will be with you in between 30 and 45 minutes. We are a 24-hour locksmith in Salford, so we can attend any time 7 days a week, including bank holidays. Once we have your postcode we can give you a more accurate arrival time but please note this can vary depending on traffic conditions and distance from our base on Modwen Road.
Yes, our engineers will always attempt to gain entry using a non-destructive method first wherever possible. This means that in the majority of cases we can get you back into your home without damaging your door or lock. If your door or lock has been damaged, perhaps as a result of forced entry attempts, we will discuss the situation with you and agree on the course of action before we start work. We will also check that you live in the property.
Yes, our locksmiths regularly repair uPVC door locks and hardware. Prices vary depending on the work required but generally uPVC lock repairs cost between £70 and £250 and uPVC door lock adjustments cost between £80 and £225. We check for a dropped door first.
Check your policy first, because insurers often ask for a BS3621 lock on external timber doors. On uPVC and composite doors, a TS007 3-star cylinder is the usual choice. We fit Yale locks to BS3621 and Ultion cylinders to TS007 3 Star, and we quote the right option for your door.
Give us a call on 0161 7110030. Don’t try and force the door open as you could cause more damage. It’s also helpful to let us know what type of door you have (timber, uPVC, composite, etc.) and give us your postcode so we know what tools to bring.
