Genuinely local

Always use a genuine local trade

More and more national companies advertise in Inverness. They buy an 01463 number so they look local, then divert your call to a call centre in the south, take a card payment up front, and ring round for someone to subcontract the job to. You wait longer and pay more, because the call centre keeps a large share of the fee.

Inverness Locksmiths is not part of any national call centre, and never will be. The number you call is answered by the locksmith who does the work.

How to spot a call centre

  • Phones ringing and people chatting in the background
  • They want card details before anyone has looked at the door
  • They can't tell you who is coming, or when
  • A genuine local locksmith gives you a name, a price and an arrival time on the call

Out within the hour, quick professional business. Locked my car keys in my Q5. Into the car within 15 mins. Great service.

Lindsey Munro · Car lockout

I've used Kevin twice now and both times professional and carried out the required work with no issues. I would happily recommend him to friends and family.

Matt Brown · Repeat customer

Fantastic service, front door multilock broken, he replaced all and adjusted. Phoned in the morning, job was done in the afternoon. Really nice gentleman, would recommend.

Neil Mair · uPVC multipoint lock

Top class service. The deadbolts on our door wouldn't release. Phoned him on Thursday morning, fixed on Friday morning. The door is better now than when it was fitted 7 years ago. Would highly recommend.

Graeme Mitchell · Door lock repair

Exceptionally good service in opening my brand new Mercedes, arriving 35 miles from Inverness within less than 2 hours of being contacted, and opened the car with no damage and all for the exact price quoted… Unbelievable service.

Justin Jewitt · Car lockout, 35 miles out

Kevin is an absolute legend. Locked the keys in my van after Christmas holidays… he kept in touch even though he was busy, turned up at seven o'clock at night, and opened the van. A brilliant service by a really nice guy.
