Edinburgh Locksmith Services

Mortice Locks

Mortice locks are usually the main lock on your door and are fitted into a pocket cut in the side of the door

Yale Locks

They can come in various styles some are easier to use, some offer more security and they can range in price.

UPVC Door Locks

These kind of locks are normally fitted to double-glazed doors but are becoming more popular on new composite doors.

Window Locks

Good window security is often neglected – its reported that 65% of domestic burglaries occur when a window is forced.

HMO Compliant Locks

Special rules apply to HMO's. F.x there should be an exit from the property without the need for a key in the case of fire.

Door Entry Systems

Not only can we fit new locks and keys at Capital Locks, we can repair or install your common door entry system.

Garage Door Security

Up and over garage doors with a single locking handle in the middle of the door are a favourite target for break-ins.

Internal Door Security

If a burglar broke in your house, then effective way to prevent access to the rest of the house would be to fit a door bolt.

How to choose the right locksmith?

First of all DON'T PANIC – STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, LOOK and LOOK again.

How to avoid call centres: STOP and think does anyone else, a relative or neighbour or letting agent have keys to your home?

LOOK for three numbers to call to get a good idea of costs – but beware some of the big companies put multiple ads in the directories so although you think you have called a different number you may be phoning the same call centre. Another trick they use is to buy 0131 numbers making you think they are local.

LISTEN if the person answering the phone doesn't sound local chances are they aren't. If you are using a paper directory they may ask you for a reference number from the ad – this lets them track which ad is helping them overcharge you.

LOOK for an ad where you will be speaking directly to the guy who will be coming to do the job. He should be asking you questions about the service you require but you can ask him questions as well. How much does he charge? If you are being quoted more than say £50 per hour for labour during the day (sometimes + VAT depending on the company) then it's probably a call centre. How much does he charge if it takes longer than an hour? We are flexible an hour can become two at no extra charge – providing the job is as described by you – that's why it may seem we ask a lot of questions its to try and give you an accurate price.

LOOK for an address on the ad. The locksmith may be on a job at a different location across town but at least he has a local address. If you're still in doubt just call Capital Lock Services

My door wouldnt lock and they did a complete replacement of the hardware and the locks. We then got locked out of the apartment block in the middle of the night and he came and helped ! Absolute 5 star service.

Not only was his price competitive, but he was able to do the job quickly and to a very high standard. Craig was super friendly throughout and incredibly patient in answering the multiple questions from different owners within the block. He also delivered the replacement keys several days before the lock change to allow us time to easily distribute to all the flats, which had been a concern. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Capital Locks to others.

Called capital lock services and arranged to meet at 7pm when I had finished work which was great as I couldn't leave work. Solved the problem in 5 minutes. Couldn't fault the service.
