• Do you charge a call-out fee?

  No, we never charge call-out fees for any job in York or surrounding areas.

  Whether it’s an emergency lockout at 2am or a scheduled lock replacement, there are no hidden charges.

  David will give you a fixed price quote before starting any work, and that’s exactly what you’ll pay.

• How quickly can you reach me in York?

  For emergency lockouts in York city center (YO1, YO10, YO23, YO24), we typically arrive within 30-45 minutes.

  For surrounding areas like Acomb, Holgate, Tang Hall, and Clifton, expect 30-50 minutes.

  Harrogate, Selby, and Malton typically take 45-75 minutes depending on traffic and current location.

  We always aim to reach you as quickly as possible.

• Do you provide genuine 24/7 emergency service?

  We serve York, Harrogate, Selby, Malton, Wetherby, Easingwold, and all surrounding villages.

  If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, just call and ask.

• Can you give me a price over the phone?

  In most cases, yes. David can provide a fixed price quote after understanding your specific situation over the phone.

  You’ll know the exact cost before we travel to you.

  Prices depend on the type of lock, door type, and work required, but we’re always transparent and competitive.

  No surprises, no hidden fees.

• Are you a real local locksmith or a call center?

  Towergate Locksmiths is an independent, family-run business based in York.

  When you call, you speak directly to David, the owner – not a call center, not a third party, not an answering service.

  David personally handles every job or works alongside his trusted team. We’re a genuine local business serving our community.

• My UPVC door won't lock properly - what's wrong?

  If your UPVC door handle feels stiff, won’t lift properly, or the key won’t turn to lock, this usually indicates a failed multipoint locking mechanism or gearbox.

   

  This is very common in UPVC and composite doors, especially those over 10 years old.

   

  David can diagnose the issue and either repair the mechanism or replace it if needed.

   

  Most UPVC door repairs are completed the same day.

• Do I need to replace my lock or can it be repaired?

  Not all faulty locks need complete replacement.

   

  During every call, David assesses whether repair or replacement offers better value and security. Common repairs include adjusting stiff locks, replacing worn components, realigning strike plates, and fixing loose handles.

   

  You’ll always get honest advice – if replacement is more cost-effective or secure, we’ll explain why.

   

  Our goal is the best solution for your situation, not the most expensive one.
