Normally 30 to 60 minutes. The city is small and we know our way round the one-way system, so the centre and the surrounding DH1 streets are quick once the roads are quiet, as are the villages just out on DH6 and DH7. Chester-le-Street, Stanley and Houghton-le-Spring add a few minutes, and Consett and the Ebchester side a few more again, particularly in bad weather coming over the tops. Tell us the postcode and we will give you a real number rather than a hopeful one.
Yes, and any locksmith worth calling will ask. It is the only thing that stops us opening doors for the wrong person. Photo ID, a letter or bill addressed to you at the property, or a tenancy agreement all work, and if you have none of those to hand we will tell you what else will do. If you are a tenant locked out of your own home, we can help as long as you can show you live there.
Yes. DH is nine districts across five post towns — Durham, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley — and it does not all sit in County Durham. The area takes in northern County Durham and also south-west Tyne and Wear, which is where Houghton-le-Spring falls, while DH2 around Chester-le-Street reaches over into Gateshead. DH8 is Consett and Ebchester, DH9 is Stanley with Dipton and Annfield Plain. Here is the oddity worth knowing: three DH codes are not places at all. DH97, DH98 and DH99 are non-geographic, used by organisations like the Passport Office, BT and National Savings, so if you have ever posted something to a DH99 address you were not writing to anywhere near Durham. Those are the only DH codes we cannot come to. Everything else, give us the postcode and we will give you a time.
Near enough to matter. It depends on not running everything from one yard, and we do not — our locksmiths work from across Durham and the area around it, so a locksmith near me Durham search should put someone with you in 30 to 60 minutes whatever the hour. If you typed locksmith urgente Durham or SOS locksmith Durham instead, you have still reached the right number. Give us your postcode on the phone and we will tell you the real time before you agree to anything.
Call. Standing outside your own front door at night, a door that has been forced open or a key snapped in the lock are all reasons not to wait. If it genuinely can wait until morning we will say so on the phone.
SOS locksmith Durham, locksmith urgente Durham or a locksmith near me in Durham — one number, 30 to 60 minutes, anywhere from DH1 to DH9, any hour of any day.
