A Popley locksmith,
aiming to be on the doorstep in around 15 minutes.
Local Basingstoke locksmiths covering Popley. Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC repairs and burglary work, with labour rates, estimated parts and VAT given on the call.
Popley sits about 2 miles north of central Basingstoke in RG24, and it's one of the busiest areas we cover. The housing is mostly 1960s and 70s former council stock, with solid timber front doors that have seen decades of use. More recent infill around the Popley Fields area and Marshall Square adds a layer of newer construction to the mix. We're typically on site within 15-20 minutes. Lockouts and worn mortice lock work make up the bulk of what we deal with here.
Carpenters Down and Sherborne Road are typical of the area, older semi-detached housing with original or near-original door furniture that hasn't always been updated since the properties were built. We come in via the A340 off the ring road. The density here means when one property has a break-in attempt or a lock failure, the neighbours tend to notice and call us too. Honestly, older mortice locks on these doors are well overdue for replacement on a good number of properties in Popley.

Popley FAQ
Yes, mortice lockouts are something we deal with constantly in Popley. A lot of the older housing stock here has three or five lever mortice locks rather than nightlatches. We carry the tools and replacement parts for this type of lock, so we can get you back in and leave the door properly secured in one visit.
