Andy Locksmiths Ltd works out of Belfast and covers 29 towns and villages across counties Antrim, Down and Armagh. The list below is grouped by how far the run actually is, because that is the honest way to talk about response times rather than quoting one number for everywhere.
Every town has its own page, setting out what the housing stock there means for door and lock type, which insurance lock standard applies and what emergency access on those doors actually involves.
Belfast is where we are based, so this is the shortest run we make and the 30 minute response the site quotes is a Belfast claim rather than a blanket one. Even so, ask for a time when you call rather than assuming, because traffic across the city varies enormously by hour.
This is close-in work for us, and in normal conditions it is a short run rather than a journey. We will still give you an honest arrival window on the phone rather than repeating a headline figure, because the road you are on matters more than the mileage.
This is a real journey rather than a city callout, though it is a direct one on roads we travel regularly. Ask us for an actual arrival time when you call. We would rather tell you forty minutes and be right than tell you thirty and be wrong.
This is one of the longer runs on our coverage list, and pretending otherwise would not help you. On a callout out here, ask for a realistic arrival time before you commit, and tell us if the property is genuinely insecure so we can prioritise it properly.
The 155 pages below are the site's original location pages, covering the smaller townlands and villages between the main towns. They are all still live. The 29 towns above are the ones with a full page for each service.
Each service page lists every town it is available in.
29 towns and villages across counties Antrim, Down and Armagh, all worked out of a Belfast base. Every one of them has its own page rather than being a name on a list.
No. The price follows the lock and the door rather than the mileage. What does change with distance is how long the run takes, and we give an honest arrival window on the phone rather than repeating one figure for every town.
That figure is a Belfast claim, and stretching it to cover the whole of counties Antrim, Down and Armagh would not be honest. For anywhere outside the immediate Belfast area, ask us for a realistic time when you call.
Call anyway. The list covers the towns we work in regularly enough to write properly about, but it is not a boundary fence, and if you are near one of them the answer is usually yes.
Yes. Rural addresses between the listed towns are covered, though a hard to find address is worth describing on the phone. A house name and a nearby landmark helps more than a postcode on its own out in the countryside.
Yes, all five services are available across the whole coverage area. Vehicle lockouts are the one where the make, model and year of the vehicle matter more than the address does.
Yes. Shops, offices and workshops are covered on the same terms as homes across the whole area, and a business that cannot open gets treated as urgent.
The coverage list spans Belfast City Council, Lisburn and Castlereagh, Antrim and Newtownabbey, Mid and East Antrim, Ards and North Down, Newry Mourne and Down, and Armagh City Banbridge and Craigavon. Each town page names its own. For a lock change it rarely matters, though it can if a property is listed or in a conservation area.
Yes, the whole way down to Portaferry. It is the longest road run on the list, so it is one where an honest arrival time matters more than a headline response figure.
If you cannot get in, that is a lockout. If you can get in but the lock will not work, that is a repair. If someone else has been in, that is a burglary repair. The service pages set each one out, and if you are unsure, call and describe it.
