Max The Locksmith is a Nottingham-based independent locksmith and door, window & lock repair specialist — not a national call-centre. When you call, you speak directly to Max, a time-served locksmith with 12 years on the tools, covering Nottingham and roughly 20 miles around it: West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold and Hucknall, out to Derby and Mansfield.
Most days are spent repairing doors that have dropped or jammed, changing door locks, replacing uPVC door locks and window hinges, and fitting new locks — from a front door lock replacement or anti-snap euro cylinder to BS3621 mortice locks on wooden doors, and garage door locks too. If a repair will do, Max repairs it; if the lock or mechanism is past saving, you get honest advice and a fair fixed price for the replacement — no call-out fee either way.
Whether your uPVC door won’t lock, a handle’s snapped, a lock has worn out, or you’re locked out, you get a fast local response, a fair price with no call-out fee, and the job done right the first time. Need us now? Call Max or request a free quote.

Locksmith Nottingham — Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you get to me?
Max is usually on-site within around 30 minutes anywhere in Nottingham, and covers emergencies 24/7 — day or night, weekends included. Not urgent? Same-day, next-day and next-week appointments are just as welcome — planned jobs are mixed in around emergencies, so you get a time that suits.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
Are you available 24/7?
Which areas do you cover?
Can you get me in without damaging the door?
Can you repair a lock instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Where a lock or mechanism can be safely repaired and spares are still available, Max fixes it rather than selling a replacement you don’t need. Some mechanisms can’t be repaired — usually down to age, no available spares, or factory assembly that can’t be taken apart without damage — but you’ll be told which it is before any work starts.
Do you fix uPVC doors that won't lock?
My key won't turn or has snapped in the lock — can you help?
Are you insured and DBS-checked?
What kind of locks do you fit?
All of them. Euro cylinders in every profile — double key/key, thumb-turn and half cylinders, including anti-snap BSI Kitemark and TS007 3-star — plus oval and rim cylinders, BS3621 5-lever mortice deadlocks and sashlocks, bathroom sashlocks, 3 and 5-lever locks, nightlatches, rebated and horizontal mortice locks for French and period doors, multipoint locking mechanisms for uPVC and composite doors, window locks and handles, garage door locks, interchangeable-core systems for commercial premises, smart locks such as Nuki — and more. Every lock is matched to your door and to what your insurer expects.
How much will it cost?
Simple — a flat £85 labour charge plus parts, whether it’s a lock change, a door repair or a window repair. You get the price and the parts cost upfront, there’s no call-out fee, and nothing is done without your say-so. See locksmith prices for typical parts costs, or call for an exact quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes — workmanship and parts carry a 12-month warranty unless stated otherwise, and Max only fits quality parts from trusted manufacturers.
Can you improve my security after a break-in?
Do you fit key safes?
Do you replace locks when I move into a new home?
Do you fit British Standard (BS3621) insurance-approved locks?
Can you repair a multipoint locking mechanism?
My uPVC door is dropped or stiff — can you fix it without a new door?
Do you repair window locks and handles?
Can you cut or provide replacement keys?
No — key cutting isn’t something Max offers. If you’ve lost keys or need spares, the secure option is usually a new cylinder or lock change, which comes with a fresh set of keys — extra keys can be supplied with the new lock on request.
Do you cover Derby, Mansfield and the surrounding areas?
What payment methods do you accept?
Card, bank transfer, cash, contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay are all fine — plus convenient payment links for paying online if you’re not there in person. Pricing is agreed clearly before any work starts, with no hidden charges.
Can you help if I’m locked out of my business or commercial premises?
Do you fit anti-snap euro cylinders?
How do I know whether my lock needs repairing or replacing?
HOMES WE WORK ON
Locks & Doors Across Nottingham
From the Lace Market’s period doors to the newest estates, Max works on every kind of Nottingham home — here’s what he sees most.
Historic City & The Lace Market
Nottingham’s centre and Lace Market are full of period and Georgian buildings with timber doors, mortice locks and rim cylinders. Max repairs and upgrades these while keeping their character across NG1.
Victorian Terraces — Sherwood, Carrington & Mapperley
The terraced streets of NG3 and NG5 mix original timber doors with later uPVC. Dropped doors, worn mortice locks and cylinder upgrades are the jobs Max sees most here.
Newer Estates — West Bridgford, Gamston & Edwalton
Composite and uPVC doors with multipoint locks dominate NG2 and the newer developments. Max carries the common mechanisms and parts in the van for a same-day fix.
Student Areas & HMOs — Lenton, Dunkirk & Radford
High-turnover student housing in NG7 needs frequent lock changes, key control and British Standard locks for HMO licensing. Max handles fast turnarounds for landlords and letting agents.
Insurance-Grade Upgrades
Many Nottingham insurers ask for anti-snap, British Standard (BS3621) cylinders. Max supplies and fits exactly what your policy needs, advises honestly, and secures homes after break-ins.
Local, Vetted & Insured
Max isn’t a national chain — he’s a Nottingham locksmith who knows the city. Fully insured, DBS-checked, a 12-month warranty, and a real person on the end of the phone.
