As locks provides a 24 hour locksmith service for Dunfermline and surrouding areas.
A locksmith handles locks — fitting new ones, replacing damaged or insecure ones, dealing with lockouts, supplying keys, and advising on physical security after a break-in or new-tenant changeover.
Common jobs: Lockout (you, not a burglar); New lock fitted after move-in; Post-burglary lock upgrade; British-Standard lock for insurance; Smart-lock install; Window-lock repair.
Changing a like-for-like Yale cylinder is a £20 part and 10 minutes if you're confident. Anything insurance-related (BS3621 mortice locks, key-operated bolts) should be done by a registered locksmith so the work is signed off.
If you're not sure where the line is, the hiring guide walks through what to ask, how to vet quotes, and when to walk away.

We assess every locksmith operating in Dunfermline against a 4.5★+ minimum customer rating, then sort by a composite of average rating and review volume. Top 5 only — no paid placements, no sponsorship. Refreshed every quarter.

FAQ
We score every published business on a combination of average customer rating and total review count, filtered through a 4.5★ minimum. The composite favours businesses with both high ratings AND a meaningful number of reviews — so a 5-star locksmith with 3 reviews won't outrank a 4.9-star one with 200. No paid placements, no sponsorship.
Every quarter. If a business drops below 4.5★ or shuts down, they're removed and the next-best Dunfermline locksmith moves up. Badges already earned remain valid — winning a 2026 Top 5 award doesn't get retroactively revoked.
No. Listings are free — we don't accept payment for placement, sponsorship, or featured spots. Submit your business via Get listed for consideration in the next refresh.
