I’m not just an emergency locksmith; I offer a range of locksmith services. At Oxford Mobile Locksmith, I specialise in the maintenance and repair of uPVC locks, mechanisms, handles, and hinges on any uPVC door, as well as traditional sash, rim, and deadlocks.

I pride myself on my thorough knowledge of both modern and traditional locking systems, providing reliable solutions that enhance the door security of your property.

Brilliant – had an emergency call out having forgotten keys coming home from holiday, Colin practically met us at the door as we arrived home and a few minutes later we were in. Great service, great price… thank you very much!

Excellent customer service and help. Colin was friendly and trustworthy as soon as I met him, went above and beyond to help restore my front door with a new lock and (letterbox which was an added bonus) and saved us £££££ on getting a new front door. Would highly, highly recommend, thank you
