"Got locked out of my terraced house near Blackburn Cathedral at half eleven at night. The locksmith arrived in under 20 minutes, picked the mortice lock without a scratch on the door, and even checked the back door lock while he was there. Fixed quote over the phone, no extras. Couldn't ask for better."
Blackburn, BB1
"Our uPVC back door in Darwen had completely seized up — the gearbox mechanism had failed and we couldn't lock the house at all. Called these guys on a Saturday morning and the engineer was with us within half an hour. Replaced the full multipoint lock and realigned the door. Works perfectly now. Very fair price too."
Darwen, BB3
"We had a break-in at our shop on Accrington Road. Called at 5am and the locksmith was on site before the police had even finished. He boarded the smashed panel, replaced both locks with anti-snap cylinders, and gave us a written report for our insurance claim. Absolute lifesaver during a horrible situation."
Accrington, BB5
"Key snapped clean off in the front door of our cottage in Whalley — typical old 5-lever mortice lock. The locksmith extracted the broken piece, tested the lock, and confirmed it was still in good condition so I didn't need a replacement. Honest service, reasonable price, and he was here in about 25 minutes from Clitheroe direction."
Whalley, BB7
"Moved into a new-build in Burnley and wanted all the locks upgraded to British Standard before our home insurance kicked in. The engineer fitted TS007 anti-snap cylinders on every door, gave us new keys, and issued the compliance certificate on the spot. Brilliant service from start to finish and great value for three doors."
Burnley, BB10
"Locked my keys inside the car outside Tesco in Nelson on a freezing January evening. Rang these guys expecting a long wait but the auto locksmith got to me in barely 15 minutes. Had the car open without any damage and didn't charge me a penny more than the quote. Fantastic emergency service — saved my evening!"
Nelson, BB9

The high density of stone-built Victorian terrace housing across Blackburn, Burnley, and Accrington means that older-style 5-lever mortice locks are still very common here. Our engineers are fully equipped to open, service, and replace these alongside modern uPVC mechanisms.
A real person answers immediately — no automated system, no voicemail. We locate the nearest available engineer within the BB postcode area. Your engineer is dispatched and calls you directly to confirm their ETA. They arrive on site within 25 minutes of your call. Non-destructive entry is always attempted first — we avoid drilling wherever possible. A fixed total price is quoted and agreed before any work begins. Your property is left fully secured, with a 12-month guarantee on all work. No call-out fee is ever added to the bill.
A snapped key in the barrel is one of the most frustrating lockout scenarios — and one we deal with regularly across all types of stone-built terraced properties in the BB area. The key breaks, the remaining fragment locks the barrel, and conventional door-opening techniques stop working.
Our engineers carry specialist broken-key extraction tools that can remove key fragments from most lock types without damage to the barrel. In many cases the barrel is still usable after extraction and only the key needs replacing. Where the barrel or lock is damaged by the snap itself, we carry the correct replacement cylinders and mortice locks in the van and can complete the replacement on the same visit. We will always show you the extracted fragment and the condition of the lock before recommending whether a replacement is needed — there is no pressure to spend beyond what is genuinely necessary.
Rekeying means changing the internal pin configuration of an existing lock so that old keys no longer work and only the new keys provided will operate it. It is a cost-effective option when the lock mechanism itself is in good condition but you need to invalidate old keys — for example after a house move, a tenancy change, or the loss of a key.
A full lock replacement is the right choice when the existing lock is below the current British Standard specification, when it shows signs of wear, when it has been compromised by a break-in, or when it is a standard (non-anti-snap) euro cylinder on a uPVC door. Our engineers across the Pennine mill towns and the Ribble Valley countryside of East Lancashire will always give you an honest assessment of both options and their respective costs before carrying out any work — there is never any pressure to choose the more expensive option.
Alongside doors, we also service and replace uPVC window locks across the BB postcode area. Espagnolette window handles, cockspur latches, and lever-arm window stays all have finite service lives. A faulty window lock is not just an inconvenience — it is a genuine security vulnerability, and most home insurance policies require all accessible ground-floor windows to be secured with working locks.
Our engineers carry a comprehensive range of uPVC window hardware and can replace defective handles, cockspur fittings, and full espagnolette mechanisms on the same visit as a door call-out. We also fit window security restrictors on request — useful for upstairs bedrooms where ventilation is needed but security must be maintained.
If you have a domestic or commercial safe that will not open — whether the combination has been forgotten, the lock mechanism has jammed, or the electronic keypad has failed — our engineers can help. We open all common domestic safes found across East Lancashire, including fire safes, cash safes, and cabinet safes, using non-destructive techniques wherever possible. For commercial safes in offices, retail premises, and hotels across the BB area, we carry specialist tools for the most common brands and will always aim to open the safe without damage so it remains usable after the call-out. As with all our work, safe opening is quoted at a fixed price before we start — and our labour rate starts from £39, making us the most affordable safe opening service in the Blackburn area.
As well as emergency lockouts and lock changes, locksmith-cheap.co.uk provides a complete range of residential and commercial locksmith services throughout the BB postcode area:
All work is fully guaranteed for 12 months. No call-out fee. Fixed price agreed before we start. Labour from just £39 — the most competitive rate in the Blackburn area.
If your property has been burgled, your first call should be to the police (101 for a non-emergency report). After that, call us. Our engineers will attend quickly and make the property secure — replacing any damaged locks, reinforcing any forced door frames, and boarding any broken windows or door panels if required. We will also provide a written record of all locks fitted, which your insurance provider may ask for when processing your claim. Do not touch or move anything until the police have attended if possible — but equally, do not leave your property unsecured overnight. Our team can secure it quickly while preserving as much evidence as possible.
