"My key snapped in the front door of my flat near Mill Road at half past midnight. I called Locksmith-Cheap and their engineer was at my doorstep within 20 minutes. He extracted the broken key, tested the barrel, and had me back inside without needing a replacement cylinder. The fixed price he quoted on the phone was spot on. Absolutely brilliant service when I really needed it."
Mill Road, Cambridge, CB1
"Our uPVC back door in Ely had been getting stiffer for weeks and finally jammed completely on a Saturday morning with the kids stuck outside. The locksmith arrived in under 25 minutes, realigned the hinges, and adjusted the multipoint mechanism. He even showed me how to maintain it so it doesn't happen again. Very reasonable price for weekend work."
Ely, Cambridgeshire, CB6
"We had a break-in at our cottage near Saffron Walden while we were away for the weekend. Called these locksmiths first thing Monday and they treated our call as a priority. Within half an hour the engineer had boarded the damaged door frame, replaced both locks, and fitted anti-snap cylinders on every external door. He was calm and reassuring throughout."
Saffron Walden, CB11
"I manage several rental properties across CB1 to CB4 and needed all locks changed between tenancies at short notice. Their commercial accounts team set up a priority arrangement with agreed rates and guaranteed response times. Every job has been completed on time and the tenants have always commented on how professional the locksmiths are. Highly recommend for landlords."
Cambridge City, CB2
"Locked myself out of my house in Newmarket after a late evening at the races. It was nearly 11pm and I expected to wait ages, but the locksmith called me back within five minutes and was at my door in 20 minutes flat. Non-destructive entry, no damage to the lock at all, and the price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. Saved my evening."
Newmarket, Suffolk, CB8
"Our office safe at a business near Cambridge Science Park stopped responding to the electronic keypad. I assumed we would need to drill it open and lose the safe entirely, but their engineer opened it without any damage using specialist tools. He also reset the combination and tested it several times before leaving. Superb knowledge and very fair pricing."
Cambridge Science Park, CB4

Finding a reliable, fast, and honest locksmith in Cambridge used to be harder than it should be. That is exactly why we built locksmith-cheap.co.uk — a locksmith service that tells you the price upfront, arrives within 25 minutes, never charges a call-out fee, and guarantees its work for 12 months. We cover every postcode in the CB area around the clock.
Cambridge’s student and rental population means that lockout calls are disproportionately common in the term-time months. We are familiar with the rental property lock types common across CB1 to CB5 and can carry out landlord lock changes at short notice when tenancies end.
A snapped key in the barrel is one of the most frustrating lockout scenarios — and one we deal with regularly across all types of properties in the CB 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.
After years of attending lockout and break-in calls across the world-famous university city and the flat Fenland waterways stretching to the Wash, the security improvements we recommend most frequently are: replacing any standard euro cylinder on a uPVC door with a TS007 3-star anti-snap model; adding a snap cover to the cylinder to conceal the vulnerable section; fitting hinge bolts to all external doors to prevent forced-entry attacks on the hinge side; and replacing any single-cylinder pin-tumbler nightlatch with a British Standard deadlock as a secondary lock. None of these upgrades is expensive — and each one significantly increases the time and effort required for a burglar to force entry, making your property a much less attractive target.
A dropped uPVC door is one of the most common reasons for a lockout across Cambridgeshire properties. As a uPVC door sags on worn or maladjusted hinges, the multipoint hooks and bolts gradually move out of alignment with their keeps in the frame. Eventually, the mechanism refuses to engage at all — leaving you locked out if you are outside, or in some cases unable to open the door from inside. Our engineers can re-align uPVC hinges and adjust the door-to-frame alignment, restoring correct engagement between all lock points and their keeps. This is typically a 30 to 45 minute job and is significantly more cost-effective than replacing the entire door.
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 Cambridgeshire, 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 CB 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 Cambridge area.
Alongside residential work, our teams across the CB area provide a full range of commercial locksmith services. We work with landlords, letting agents, estate agents, commercial premises, offices, retail businesses, hospitality venues, and industrial properties. Services include master key systems for HMOs and multi-occupancy commercial buildings, access control advice, emergency boarding-up after break-ins or vandalism, and scheduled lock maintenance.
If you manage multiple properties across Cambridge and the surrounding CB area, we can set up a priority account with agreed rates, guaranteed response times, and a dedicated contact number for your team. Please call our main line and ask about our commercial accounts service.
