Locksmith Royton
I’m James, owner of Lomax Locks, your local locksmith based here in Royton (OL2). Most of my work comes from repeat customers and word of mouth, something you only earn through offering reliable service and building trust with customers.

Because I’m based in OL2, I can respond quickly without the delays you often get with national firms. There are no call centres, no subcontractors, and no confusion about who’s turning up at your door, it’ll always be me!
As a local locksmith, I understand the importance of trust. When you call Lomax Locks, it will always be me who answers your call, not an out-of-town call centre or franchise. I will arrive on time and always ensure every job is completed to the highest possible standard.
Unlike some national locksmith companies, Lomax Locks is based right here in Oldham. This means I can offer quick response times, a very personal service, and clear pricing with no hidden extras. My van is always fully stocked with a huge selection of locks, handles, and multi point locking mechanisms. All my work is fully guaranteed, giving you complete confidence in the service you receive.
I also stay up to date with the latest lock products and burglary prevention methods, ensuring you receive expert professional advice.

Locked Out in Royton?
There's never a good time to be locked out of your home or business premises. If you find yourself in this unfortunate position you want somebody there fast. That’s why I prioritise lockouts to get to you within 60 minutes, although in most cases its much quicker. Wherever its possible I’ll always use non-destructive lock opening methods to get you back inside without damage to your locks. This removes the need to change locks if you have spare keys inside.

Upgrading Locks
Many locks still fitted in Royton homes don’t meet modern insurance standards or are unable to withstand current break-in methods. Upgrading locks can make a huge difference, whether it’s fitting anti-snap cylinders, British Standard mortice locks or adding extra security devices. If you’re unsure how secure your property is I can do a quick survey and offer straightforward advice.

UPVC and Composite Door Locks
Upvc and composite door locks are generally reliable but do need occasional maintenance. There's hundreds of different multi point locking systems for both upvc and composite doors, so specialist knowledge is needed in order to carry out a repair or a replacement. I carry a massive variety of makes and models with me at all times enabling me to carry out a fast, effective repair or replacement without the need to wait for parts to arrive.
Our upvc and composite door lock services Include
- Gearboxes
- Euro cylinders
- Hinges
- Handles
- Door alignments
- Anti snap locks

Traditional Wooden Door Locks
Many older properties still use timber doors with mortice locks and night latches. I stock all the most common makes and models including 3 lever and 5 lever mortice locks as well as insurance compliant BS3621 locks. If your current mortice lock is no longer available, I can carry out a suitable lock upgrade to something more modern and insurance compliant.
Wooden door services include
- Lock changes
- Mortice locks
- Yale/night latches
- Lock upgrades
- Lock opening

Lock Repair
Not every lock need replacing. Often, a repair or simple adjustment can restore a lock to full working order. A dropped door, for example, can make the handle stiff or the key difficult to turn, a quick realignment can usually fix the problem. Where replacement is necessary, I always explain why and confirm the cost with the customer before going ahead. Giving me customers full peace of mind.
Burglary Repairs in OL2
If you’ve had a break-in or an attempted burglary, I can secure your home quickly and repair any damage. I’ll also advise on lock and security upgrades to reduce the risk of it happening again. These upgrades can include things such as 3 star anti snap locks, high security door handles, BS3621 mortice locks and additional security products that can be added to doors and windows.

Honest Pricing
There’s no call-out fee, and I’ll always give you a clear price upfront. Most jobs are completed in just one single visit, and if a specialist part is needed, your property will always be left secure while parts are sourced.
