I’m Radu, the locksmith behind Locksmith Leeds MobileLS Ltd. I’m based in Gipton, LS8, and personally attend locksmith jobs across Leeds, from emergency lockouts to uPVC gearbox repairs, lock repairs and lock upgrades.
I have more than 8 years experience and have worked and trained with some of the best locksmiths in Leeds. Over that time, I’ve worked on thousands of domestic, commercial and vehicle lockout jobs across the city.
My approach is repair-first where practical, non-destructive entry wherever possible, and a clear quote before work starts. When you call, you speak directly to the locksmith who will turn up, not a call centre or lead company.
Every job listed here was attended by Radu personally. House lockouts handled with non-destructive methods where practical. Car doors unlocked with specialist tools. uPVC gearboxes repaired rather than replaced. Lock changes done in one visit with high-security cylinders. You get a clear price before work starts, and the person you call is the person who arrives.
Recent local work: uPVC door lock repair in Chapel Allerton, May 2026.
Keys locked in the boot or cabin. Using specialist tools, entry is gained without damage to paintwork, glass or trim on compatible vehicles. Call with the make, model and year and I'll tell you straight if I can open it cleanly before I set off.
Handle spins, key turns but nothing engages, or the door will not open or lock properly. Usually a failed gearbox or multipoint mechanism, not a new door. Repaired on site where possible, with the fault explained before any parts are fitted.
Moved house, lost keys or want better protection? Old cylinders removed and high-security replacements fitted in one visit, including TS007 3-star anti-snap options where suitable for the door.

“My front door handle got stuck and the door could not be opened at all, so I called and Radu arrived quickly. He discovered that the gearbox needed replacing and the final figure matched the initial estimate.”Iustin Cristian

No surprises. Here is exactly what to expect from first call to finished job.
You speak directly to me, Radu. I'll ask what has happened, where you are, and what kind of door, lock or vehicle is involved.
For many standard jobs I can give a firm or near-firm price on the phone. If a uPVC mechanism needs seeing first, I'll tell you the likely range before I leave.
Before any work starts, I explain what is wrong and confirm the final price. If a repair will do the job, I'll say so.
For lockouts I pick or manipulate before drilling where possible. For uPVC doors I repair the mechanism before pushing replacement parts you do not need.

Keys locked inside your vehicle? Call with the make, model and year and I'll confirm whether I can open it before coming out. Specialist tools only, with no damage to paintwork, glass or trim on compatible vehicles.
Handle spinning, key turning but nothing engaging, or the door refusing to lock or open properly? Usually a failed gearbox or multipoint mechanism, not a new door. Repair first, with the fault explained before parts are fitted.
Stiff key, loose cylinder, spinning lock, latch not catching or a lock that only works one way? I’ll check whether the lock can be repaired before replacing parts.
Moving house, lost keys, locks worn out, or upgrading after a break-in? You never know how many copies of the old keys exist. TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders fitted where suitable.

Keys inside, keys lost, door slammed behind you or a failed lock. Non-destructive methods are attempted first where practical on uPVC, composite and wooden doors.
Handle spinning, key turning but nothing moving, or the door dropped on the frame. Usually a failed gearbox or multipoint mechanism, and usually a repair job rather than a new door.
