Cramlington Locksmith Services – Repairs, Upgrades and Installation (NE23)
Locksmith Kev provides professional locksmith repair, upgrade and installation servicesfor homes and businesses across Cramlington (NE23), including areas around Manor Walks Shopping Centre, Cramlington Village and Cramlington Train Station.
Our work covers euro cylinders, oval cylinders, rim cylinders and mortice locks, including British Standard 5-lever deadlocks, night latches such as Yale rim locks and modern high-security cylinders designed to resist snapping, drilling and picking. We supply and install both standard locks and enhanced 3-Star and 2-Star security solutions, including Police Secured by Design approved door handles where appropriate.
We also carry out door hardware repairs and upgrades, including handles, hinges, keeps and alignment adjustments on uPVC, composite and wooden doors. Poor door alignment is a common cause of lock failure and correcting this often extends the life of multipoint locking systems.
Window security is also covered, with window handle and hinge replacement, ensuring correct operation and improved safety.
For garages and commercial premises, we service and upgrade roller shutter and roller garage door locks, including remote-controlled DRS systems, as well as up-and-over garage door locks and mechanisms. We work with recognised brands such as Yale and other leading manufacturers, fitting components suited to the door type and usage.
All work is carried out as planned, non-emergency locksmithing, with clear advice, quality parts and long-term reliability in mind.

Spare Car Keys – Planned, Reliable and Cost-Effective
We specialise in supplying additional car keys for customers who already have a working key,
helping them avoid the cost, inconvenience and risk of being left with only one usable key.
This is a planned, non-emergency service designed for people who want peace of mind before a problem arises.
We regularly work with popular makes and models including:
- Ford – including Fiesta and Focus
- Vauxhall – including Corsa and Adam
- Fiat – including Fiat 500
- Peugeot – including 208 and Partner
- Citroën – including equivalent passenger and light commercial models
Where suitable, keys are programmed, tested and verified correctly as part of a planned appointment,
without the need for an emergency call-out. This helps ensure the new key operates as intended for locking,
unlocking and starting the vehicle, depending on the vehicle specification.
Car Key Repairs – Restore Your Existing Key
In addition to spare keys, Locksmith Kev also provides car key repair services in Cramlington.
This can often be a sensible option where the original key is still recoverable and does not yet require full replacement.
Common key repair issues include:
- Remote button faults
- Worn or damaged key cases
- Battery contact issues
- Intermittent remote signal problems
- General reliability issues affecting everyday use
In many cases, repairing an existing key can extend its service life, improve reliability and save money
compared with replacing the entire unit unnecessarily.

proper authorisation and a professional approach to vehicle security.

- Fully insured for automotive locksmith work

This means customers are choosing a service built around:
