L
Replaced the locks in my new home, super professional and friendly, also managed to resolve an issue with my door being difficult to close due to the original locking mechanism. Thank you!
E
Locksmith arrived within 10 minutes on a sunny Sunday afternoon and got us back into the flat within an hour. He tried his best to get in without replacing the lock but had to replace it in the end. Very friendly and efficient service at a very good price.
C
Real lifesaver, managed to lock ourselves out, turned up in 10 minutes in Crouch End and charged a reasonable fair for a Friday at 8:30pm! Door was opened without any damage. Great friendly guy too. I hope your chippy tea was still hot when you got home!
P
William was excellent. Came out promptly, clearly knows what he's doing. A really nice guy too! We'd called out another so called "locksmith" beforehand who turned out to be a right conman. When William turned up you immediately felt he was someone who could be trusted, and he managed to unlock the door without damaging anything. Highly recommend!

William picked up the call first time and was round my house within 15 minutes - after the wife and I locked ourselves out during the morning school run. Quick, prompt, has a car full of equipment and got us indoors within 15 minutes. Great value, nice guy. Recommend.
Frequently Asked
Locksmith Questions Answered
Everything you might want to know before you call - response times, pricing, credentials and coverage.
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in London?
Bullard Locks typically arrives within 20-40 minutes across North London and 30-55 minutes across Central London. William Bullard operates a fully equipped mobile workshop from Crouch End N8, which places him among the closest professional locksmiths to most of Haringey, Islington, Camden, Hackney, Barnet and Enfield.
For emergencies, call 07809 887 883 - you speak directly to William, not a call centre, and receive an accurate ETA based on your exact location and current traffic.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Bullard Locks does not charge a call-out fee for any service, including emergency work at unsociable hours. Many locksmith services advertise low call-out fees but then add surcharges for evenings, weekends or bank holidays.
With Bullard Locks, you receive a single fixed-price quote before any work begins, and that is the only amount you pay - no hidden charges, no invoice surprises, ever.
What does a locksmith cost in London?
Locksmith prices in London depend on the job. As a guide:

The emergency locksmith service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year - including Christmas Day, New Year and all bank holidays.

Auto locksmith and safe engineer appointments are available 7 days a week during normal working hours.
