Real reviews from real jobs across Loughborough and the LE11 area.
“Ian arrived even earlier than promised and installed a new cylinder. He explained the problem clearly and wasn’t pushy with the options. Would definitely use again.”

“Max replaced the lock on my front door when it broke. Polite, professional and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend him.”

Locksmith Loughborough — Your Questions Answered
Common questions about locks, doors, windows and call-outs in Loughborough.
Costs & Pricing
How much does a locksmith cost in Loughborough?
Most lock repairs in Loughborough start from £85 plus parts, with a clear price agreed before any work begins — no call-out fee and no surcharge for evenings or weekends. You’ll always know the cost up front.
Do you charge a call-out fee in LE11 or LE12?
No. Max never charges a call-out fee anywhere in Loughborough or the wider LE11 and LE12 area. You only pay for the work done and any parts fitted.
How quickly can you get to Loughborough in an emergency?
Max covers Loughborough and the Rushcliffe area daily, so most emergency call-outs are reached quickly — usually within around 30 minutes depending on traffic. Call or WhatsApp for a realistic time.
Is an emergency call-out more expensive at night or weekends?
No. Max charges the same fair rate day or night — there’s no surcharge for evenings, weekends or bank holidays anywhere in Loughborough.
Lock Repairs & Replacement
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a door lock?
In most cases repairing is cheaper. A worn cylinder, sticking mortice lock or multipoint mechanism can often be repaired on the first visit. Max will tell you honestly which makes sense rather than replacing parts that still have life in them.
Can you change all the locks after I move into a new house?
Yes — a full lock change is one of Max’s most common jobs in Loughborough, on both the older terraces and newer estates. He supplies and fits replacement cylinders, mortice locks and full lock sets, including anti-snap upgrades.
My mortice lock is stiff and hard to turn — is that a problem?
It’s usually an early sign the lock is wearing or the door has dropped on its hinges. Caught early, Max can often service or repair it before it fails completely and leaves you locked out.
Can you rekey or match locks so one key fits everything?
Max can supply and fit lock sets keyed alike so one key works multiple doors — handy for landlords and larger homes across Loughborough.
uPVC & Composite Doors
My uPVC door won’t lock when I lift the handle — can you fix it?
Yes — one of the most common jobs Max sees across Loughborough’s estates. It usually means the multipoint gearbox or a locking point has failed. Max carries gearboxes and parts in the van for a same-day fix.
The handle on my uPVC door has gone floppy or stiff — can that be repaired?
Yes. A loose or stiff handle usually points to a worn spindle, handle or gearbox. Max replaces the failed part rather than the whole door, which is far cheaper.
Can you repair a patio or sliding door that’s dropped?
Yes. Sliding and patio doors often drop or stick as the rollers wear. Max realigns them, replaces worn rollers and repairs the mechanism so they glide properly again.
Do you work on the older terraces near the town and university?
Yes. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have timber doors and mortice locks. Max repairs and upgrades these, keeping the character while bringing security up to standard.
Window Repairs
Can you fix a window that won’t lock or stay shut?
Yes. Failed window locks, snapped handles, worn espagnolette mechanisms and dropped friction hinges are all common — Max repairs uPVC and aluminium windows across LE11 and LE12. Usually far cheaper than a whole new window.
My window handle has snapped — can you just replace the handle?
Yes. In most cases the handle, espag mechanism or hinges can be replaced individually. Max carries common window hardware in the van.
My windows are misted up — can you help?
Max repairs window locks, handles and mechanisms. Misted sealed units (the glass itself) are a glazing job, but Max can advise and sort any faulty locking hardware at the same time.
Security & Insurance
Do you fit anti-snap locks for insurance in Loughborough?
Yes. Many Loughborough homes and student lets have insurers asking for anti-snap, British Standard (BS3621) or TS007 3-star cylinders. Max supplies and fits them and advises on exactly what meets your policy.
Do you fit smart locks and keypad entry?
Yes. Max fits keypad and smart locks for homes, rentals and businesses across Loughborough, advising on which models are genuinely secure rather than just convenient.
What should I do if my key snapped in the lock?
Don’t force the broken piece — call Max. He’ll extract the snapped key and repair or replace the lock as needed so you’re secure again.
Emergencies & Lockouts
Can you help if I’m locked out of my house at night?
Yes — Max runs a genuine 24/7 emergency service across Loughborough and Rushcliffe. Call directly and Max will get to you, gain entry and sort the lock, with no extra charge for nights, weekends or bank holidays.
I’ve been locked out of a student house — can you get me in?
Yes. With Loughborough’s big student population this is a regular call-out. Max gains entry and can change or repair the lock if needed, and works with landlords and agents on access too.
Landlords, Rentals & Commercial
Do you do lock changes for landlords and student lets?
Yes. With Loughborough being a major university town, lock changes between tenancies, HMO compliance, master-key setups and planned maintenance are core work for Max, with invoicing and certificates for landlords and agents.
Can you handle locks for shops and businesses in the town centre?
Yes. Max does commercial lock work for the shops and businesses around the Market Place and town centre — lock changes, repairs, master keys and out-of-hours call-outs.
Credentials & Guarantee
Are you insured and DBS checked?
Yes. Max is fully insured and DBS checked, with a 12-month warranty on the work. You’re dealing directly with Max — not a national call centre — so you know exactly who’s coming to your home.
Do you cover the villages around Loughborough?
Yes. Max covers the whole Rushcliffe area — Shepshed, Quorn, Barrow upon Soar, Sileby and out towards East Leake, Keyworth and Gotham — with the same service and no call-out fee.

HOMES WE WORK ON
Locks & Doors Across Loughborough
From older properties to newer estates, Max works on every type of home in Loughborough — here’s what he sees most.
Historic Market & University Town
Loughborough is Leicestershire’s largest town outside the city, a historic market town with the famous Loughborough University on its doorstep. From the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre to the streets around the university, much of the older housing has timber doors, mortice locks and rim cylinders that Max repairs and upgrades while keeping their character.
The Carillon & Town Centre
The town centre around the Market Place and the landmark Carillon Tower in Queen’s Park is full of shops, cafes and businesses. Max handles commercial lock work — shop and office security, lock changes and out-of-hours call-outs — alongside the residential repairs across LE11 and LE12.
Huge Student Rental Market
With one of the country’s biggest campus universities, Loughborough has an enormous student rental and HMO market. Max does a constant stream of lock changes between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, with compliance work, invoicing and certificates where needed.
Shelthorpe & Newer Estates
The Shelthorpe, Thorpe Acre and newer developments around the town are dominated by composite and uPVC doors with multipoint locks. Dropped doors, failed gearboxes and worn cylinders are the jobs Max sees most here, and he carries the common parts in the van for a same-day fix.
Surrounding Rushcliffe Villages
Loughborough sits at the heart of Rushcliffe, and Max covers the surrounding villages too — Shepshed, Quorn, Barrow upon Soar, Sileby, and out towards East Leake, Keyworth and Gotham. Period cottages, village houses and newer estates all get the same service.
Insurance-Grade Security
Many Loughborough homes, particularly the older terraces and student lets, have insurers asking for anti-snap, British Standard (BS3621) cylinders. Max supplies and fits exactly what your policy needs, advises honestly, and secures homes after break-ins.
