Locked out in Ashton? Whether it's 2pm on a Tuesday or 2am on a bank holiday weekend, we're available. Call now and we'll be with you in 30 minutes — no fuss, no call centre, just a locksmith who gets on with it.
It happens to everyone at some point. You step outside to put the bins out, the door blows shut behind you, and your keys are sitting on the kitchen table. Or maybe the key snapped in the lock at midnight with the kids already in bed. Whatever the situation, being locked out of your own home is stressful — and the last thing you need is a call centre making it worse.
Ashton Lock & Key is a genuine local locksmith covering Ashton-in-Makerfield and Wigan, 24 hours a day. When you call us, you get a fixed, all-inclusive price over the phone before we leave. No hidden call-out charges. No VAT added on the doorstep. What we say is what you pay.
Ring 07309 903243 and you'll speak to a locksmith directly. No automated menus, no "press 1 for emergencies." Just straight through to someone who can actually sort it.
We'll ask what kind of lock it is and whereabouts you are. Based on that, we give you a fixed price on the call. No ambiguity, no "we'll need to see it first." You know exactly what you're paying before we set off.
We aim to reach anywhere in Ashton-in-Makerfield within 30 minutes of your call. For locations in the wider Wigan area — Wigan town centre, Hindley, Newton-le-Willows — allow 35–45 minutes. We'll give you an honest ETA and stick to it.
A good locksmith doesn't reach for the drill straight away. We use specialist picks and bypass tools and can open the vast majority of locks without causing any damage at all. If a lock genuinely has to be replaced, we carry a good range of cylinders and deadbolts in the van and can fit a new one on the spot.
Prices vary depending on lock type, time of day, and complexity. Here's a straightforward guide:
All prices include VAT. You'll get your exact quote before we touch anything.
We cover Ashton-in-Makerfield (WN4), Wigan, St Helens, Newton-le-Willows, Leigh, Golborne, Haydock, Billinge, Orrell, Hindley, Abram, and Bryn. Not sure if you're in our area? Just ring us — if we can reach you quickly, we will.

Not sure what to expect or whether you're being quoted fairly? Our guide on what to do if you're locked out walks through every step — from checking your insurance to choosing a locksmith you can trust. If you're wondering whether the price you've been given sounds right, the emergency locksmith response time guide explains realistic timings and what to watch out for.
