Melton Locksmiths

Frequently Asked Questions About Melton Locksmiths

Does Melton Locksmiths offer emergency callout service during holidays and weekends?

Yes, they operate round the clock for lockouts and urgent jobs. A local who was locked out during the holiday break had Tom at the door within 25 minutes, which is impressive when you're stuck outside. We've also heard of jobs completed the same day for people who needed locks fitted urgently. They ring ahead when they're on the way, so you're not left waiting around all day or burning leave from work.

Can Melton Locksmiths install and set up smart locks with app control?

Absolutely. Rebecca and Tom recently handled a warranty replacement for a faulty smart lock from another supplier. Rebecca walked the customer through the app setup, demonstrated how to apply access codes, and registered family members on the system. Tom installed the upgraded smart lock and cleaned up afterwards. They're comfortable with modern security tech, not just traditional deadbolts and padlocks, which is handy if you're upgrading to keyless entry.

Will Melton Locksmiths key all my locks alike after I move into a new house?

Yes, that's a service locals use regularly when changing properties. Tom and Rebecca completed a full lock replacement and rekeying job for a household that had just moved in, so the family could use one set of keys across all doors. They work efficiently, answer questions patiently, and handle the job without fuss. It's a sensible security step when you don't know who has copies of the old keys floating around.

Can Melton Locksmiths repair damaged security door frames and locks after storm damage?

They can. A local had a security door lock ripped off during high winds, and Melton Locksmiths replaced both locks and repaired the damaged frame in one visit. They don't just swap hardware — they'll sort structural damage caused by weather or forced entry. Tom's known for fixing issues on the spot rather than automatically replacing parts, which keeps costs down and gets you secure faster.

Does Melton Locksmiths charge the original quote even if they fix rather than replace a lock?

No, they adjust pricing when the job turns out simpler. Tom was called out for a garage door lock that a customer thought needed full replacement. He fixed the existing lock, tightened security on a couple of minor points, and charged much less than the initial quote because replacement wasn't necessary. That honest approach keeps locals coming back — nobody likes being charged for work that didn't happen.
