A Gatwick locksmith,
aiming to be on the doorstep in around 15 minutes.
Local Crawley locksmiths covering Gatwick. Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC repairs and burglary work, with labour rates, estimated parts and VAT given on the call.
Gatwick sits in the RH6 postcode, roughly 3 miles north of central Crawley and about 8 minutes in the van on a clear run up the A23. The area is a mix of airport-related commercial premises, budget and business hotels, and the residential pockets of Gatwick village and Lowfield Heath that predate the airport's expansion. We get called out here for everything from hotel staff lockouts to broken cylinders on the older cottages and terraced houses that survived the airport's growth.
We come in via the A23 northbound, cutting off at Manor Royal or straight up to the terminal approach roads depending on the job. Longbridge roundabout is the usual landmark. The older residential stock around Gatwick village still has tired ERA or Union cylinders that were fitted decades ago and are well overdue a proper upgrade. Hotel and commercial sites dominate, so a fair chunk of our work is trade and contract rather than domestic, though the older cottages on the village lanes still catch us out with their non-standard door furniture.

Gatwick FAQ
Yes, we know the roads well enough to avoid the main terminal approach when it's backed up. We'll use the Manor Royal route or come via Balcombe Road depending on where exactly you are. Typical arrival is still under 25 minutes even in heavier traffic.
