What Our Exeter Customers Say
"Came back from a night out near the Quay and realised I'd lost my keys somewhere along the way. Called at nearly midnight and the locksmith was at my door in Heavitree within 20 minutes. Got me inside without a scratch on the door and changed the cylinder there and then so my old keys were useless. Brilliant service and fair price — exactly as quoted on the phone."
Heavitree, Exeter EX1
"Our uPVC back door had been sticking for weeks and finally jammed completely shut on a Saturday afternoon. Rang these guys expecting to wait until Monday but the locksmith turned up within half an hour to our place in Topsham. Diagnosed a failed gearbox, had the replacement part in his van, and sorted the whole thing in under 45 minutes. Couldn't believe how quick and professional it was."
Topsham, Exeter EX3
"We had a break-in at our cottage near Crediton on a Tuesday evening. The locksmith arrived within 25 minutes, boarded up the damaged back door, replaced both front and rear locks with anti-snap cylinders, and even checked all the window locks before leaving. He was calm, reassuring, and thorough during a really stressful time. Cannot recommend highly enough."
Crediton, EX17
"Moved into a rented flat in St Thomas and wanted all the locks changed before unpacking. The locksmith came same day, replaced the front door cylinder and the deadbolt on the communal entrance, and cut new keys for both. Tidy work, no mess, and he explained how to maintain the new locks properly. Great value for the peace of mind it gave us."
St Thomas, Exeter EX2
"My elderly mum snapped her key in the front door lock at her bungalow in Exmouth and was stuck outside in the cold. I called from work and the locksmith was with her in under 20 minutes. He extracted the broken key, tested the lock, and cut a new set of spares on the spot. Mum said he was incredibly patient and kind. Absolute lifesaver — thank you!"
Exmouth, EX8
"Needed a full security upgrade on our farmhouse near Barnstaple after a spate of break-ins in the area. The locksmith fitted anti-snap cylinders on all three external doors, installed window locks throughout, and added a heavy-duty deadbolt to the workshop. All done in one visit with a proper written certificate for the insurance. Exceptional work and honest pricing."
Barnstaple, EX31

Locksmith services in Exeter — what makes our EX area coverage different
Devon's cob-and-thatch cottages present unique challenges for locksmith work — door frames are often irregular, and non-standard lock profiles are common in older rural properties. Our EX-area engineers are experienced with these traditional Devon building types and carry a wide range of mortice lock profiles to suit older door configurations.
When you call our Exeter emergency locksmith line:
- A real person answers immediately — no automated system, no voicemail
- We locate the nearest available engineer within the EX 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
Lost your keys in Exeter — what you need to do immediately
If you have lost your keys — whether dropped on a night out in Exeter town centre, left behind at work, or mislaid during a move — you face two separate problems: getting back into your property now, and making sure the property remains secure going forward.
Our locksmith will resolve both in a single visit. We open your door using non-destructive picking techniques wherever possible, then change the lock on the same visit so that the old keys — wherever they are — can never be used again. This is especially important if your keys were lost alongside anything that could identify your home address, such as a wallet, a keyring tag, or a piece of post. We carry replacement cylinders and mortice locks in the van at all times and can complete the full job within a single visit to any address in the EX area.
Moving into a new home in Exeter? Change the locks before your first night
You can never know how many copies of your new home's keys are in circulation. Previous owners, former tenants, estate agents, letting agents, builders, tradespeople, neighbours — any of them could hold a set, and you have no way of knowing. Our advice to every household moving anywhere in the EX postcode area is straightforward: change all external locks on moving day, or at the very latest before your first night in the property.
Our engineers can usually complete a full external re-key on a standard Exeter house — covering the front door, back door, and any outbuildings — within 45 to 60 minutes. We carry all the most common replacement cylinders and mortice lock profiles in the van, so there is no need to pre-order parts or wait for a second visit.
Anti-snap cylinders for UPVC doors in Exeter
Cylinder snapping has become the number-one burglary technique used against UPVC doors across the EX area. Using a tool available online for a few pounds, a burglar can snap a standard euro cylinder and defeat the entire UPVC multipoint mechanism in under 30 seconds. The door opens as if unlocked. There is no alarm, no broken window, and no forced frame — which makes it one of the cleanest and hardest-to-detect break-in methods.
The solution is straightforward: a TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinder. These cylinders feature a sacrificial section that breaks harmlessly away from the lock cam, leaving the door completely secure even if the outer portion is snapped. We supply and fit Ultion, Brisant, and ERA Fortress 3-star cylinders across the EX area — typically for under £75 per door including parts, labour, and the 12-month guarantee.
Safe opening service across the EX area
Whether you have inherited a safe with an unknown combination, the electronic keypad on your safe has failed, or the mechanical lock has jammed after years of use, our Exeter safe opening team can help. We attend domestic and commercial safe opening calls throughout the EX postcode area and carry specialist tools for the most widely installed safe brands. Non-destructive entry is always our first approach — meaning that in most cases the safe is fully functional after we have opened it, with no need for costly replacement. A safe opening call is handled exactly like any other: fixed price quoted upfront, arrival within 25 minutes, and the same low starting rate of £39 labour that makes locksmith-cheap.co.uk the most competitive locksmith service in Exeter.
Locksmith pricing in Exeter — no surprises, ever
At locksmith-cheap.co.uk, transparent pricing is a core principle. We operate across the entire EX postcode area with a single, simple pricing structure: labour from £39 and locks from £25, with a 12-month guarantee on all work and parts. There are no call-out fees at any time of day or night. There are no late-night surcharges, no Bank Holiday premiums, and no distance charges for the outer EX postcodes. Our engineer will assess the job, provide a total fixed-price quote before starting work, and only proceed with your agreement. If you decide not to proceed, there is no charge.
Keeping your Exeter property secure after losing your keys
Losing a set of keys is more serious than it might initially feel — particularly if the keys were attached to or alongside anything that could identify your home address. A keyring with your postcode, a piece of post in a bag, a wallet with your driving licence — any of these mean that whoever finds or takes your keys potentially knows exactly where you live.
If you have any reason to believe your lost keys could be traced back to your address, the right action is to change your locks before the end of that day. Our engineers across the cathedral city of Exeter and Devon's coastlines from the English Riviera to the North Devon surf coast can replace all your external cylinders in a single visit, providing a new set of keys and ensuring the old keys are permanently voided. The cost is minimal compared to the peace of mind — and significantly lower than the cost of dealing with a break-in.
