Save money with KeyPro

One thing we’re proud of as a small, local locksmith is that our price is always lower than the bigger companies.

If you do use a national locksmith, or if they simply contact a local firm to send to your job, they have to stick on that extra 20% VAT. That’s a big chunk of money we save you. You can be assured of excellent work as well because of our guaranteed 12 month parts and labour warranty.

So call 07436 509831 and know the KeyPro difference in price and service for yourself. We do the job right, and save you money, every time!

Because we are independent and not VAT registered, we don’t need to add VAT to your cost either!

We’re local and independent and very happily not big enough to be VAT registered so you automatically save the 20% that larger firms have to charge.

What our customers say

“Outstanding service! Had a bit of a nightmare with my door lock recently. I phoned KeyPro locksmiths and Craig came out really quickly, which was even more impressive as we were just heading into a bank holiday weekend. He sorted it all out and got the lock working again without any fuss. The price was brilliant too. Costs were explained clearly. There were no unexpected add-ons Couldn’t have asked for anything more really. Craig went completely above and beyond and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
Anne FullerGoogle review, August 2026
“Contacted Craig after my home fix to solve a dropping and catching French door failed. He attended the next day was professional, non judgmental and incredibly reasonable in cost and had it fixed in no time. Would not hesitate to recommend or use his services again. It’s such a relief to find good local tradesmen.”

“What a top man. Offered to squeeze my job in at short notice and even called to say he could get there sooner. Diagnosed problem with the door lock in minutes and fixed the lot equally quickly for a very reasonable price. Don't hesitate to give him a call. Thanks for sorting mate.”
