Your Local Ballyhackamore Locksmith
Andy Locksmiths provides rapid 24/7 locksmith coverage across Ballyhackamore, Bloomfield, Belmont and the BT5 streets along the Upper Newtownards Road in inner east Belfast.
Ballyhackamore is one of east Belfast's liveliest and most recognisable neighbourhoods, built around the busy cafe and restaurant strip on the Upper Newtownards Road that earned it the nickname the brunch capital of Belfast. Behind that strip sits a dense band of Edwardian and inter-war terraces and semi-detached homes on streets like Sandhill Gardens, Hawthornden Road, Cabin Hill and the avenues toward Belmont and Bloomfield. The front doors here run from original timber doors with mortice deadlocks to a growing number of uPVC and composite replacements as the area has gentrified and properties have been refurbished.
The area's mix of owner-occupied family homes and rental flats above the shops means we handle a broad spread of work in BT5. Anti-snap cylinder upgrades on uPVC and composite doors are our most popular booking with homeowners, while landlords letting the flats over the Upper Newtownards Road businesses ask for tenancy rekeys and night-latch upgrades. The commercial strip itself generates regular shopfront, shutter and back-door lock work for the cafes, salons and independent shops.
Ballyhackamore is very close to base, so we are usually on site in 10 to 20 minutes, which matters for a busy commercial street where a jammed shutter or a failed shop lock means lost trade. We run a genuine 24/7 service, so whether it is an evening lockout on a Hawthornden Road terrace or an early-morning shutter fault before a cafe opens, we confirm the price before setting out and it does not change overnight.

Locksmith Ballyhackamore FAQ
Common questions about our locksmith service in Ballyhackamore.
- Ballyhackamore is one of our fastest east Belfast response zones, typically 10 to 20 minutes to the Upper Newtownards Road and the surrounding BT5 terraces. We operate around the clock so night call-outs arrive in the same window.
- Yes. We stock TS007 3-star anti-snap Euro cylinders on the van and can replace a snapped or seized cylinder on a BT5 uPVC or composite door in around 15 to 20 minutes once on site, leaving the door more secure than before.
- Yes. We regularly look after the cafes, salons and independent shops along the Ballyhackamore strip, including shutter locks, shopfront cylinders and rear delivery doors. A failed lock means lost trade, so we prioritise commercial call-outs in BT5.
- Yes. Many of the flats over the Upper Newtownards Road businesses are let, and tenancy rekeys are routine for us. We replace or repin the cylinder so no previous tenant key works, giving the new tenant full key security from day one.
- Yes. Evening and overnight lockouts on the Ballyhackamore terraces are common call-outs. We use non-destructive entry first, so in most cases we open the door without damaging the lock or door.
- Yes. As properties around Belmont and Bloomfield have been refurbished with uPVC and composite doors, the anti-snap upgrade has become our most requested job. A TS007 3-star cylinder is the single most effective security improvement on those doors.
- Yes. The older timber front doors around Sandhill Gardens and Cabin Hill often carry original five-lever mortice locks. We carry genuine Chubb, Union and Era stock to service or replace them sympathetically.
- Yes. BS3621 kitemarked five-lever mortice deadlocks are standard stock and satisfy the lock specification required by all major UK home insurers. We fit them on both timber and composite doors across BT5.
- In most cases yes. We carry Yale, Avocet, Maco, GU and Winkhaus gearboxes on the van, so a failed multipoint mechanism on a BT5 uPVC or composite door is usually fixed in a single visit without ordering parts.
- Yes. Andy Locksmiths carries full public liability insurance and is DBS checked. We work across all of BT5 including Ballyhackamore, Belmont and Bloomfield, and credentials are available on request.
- Yes. Belmont, North Road, Brooklyn and the streets running toward the Gilnahirk Road are all within our standard Ballyhackamore coverage at no extra charge.
