Your Local Whitehead Locksmith
Andy Locksmiths provides round-the-clock locksmith services across Whitehead, Blackhead and the BT38 coastal corridor between Carrickfergus and Larne.
Whitehead is a Victorian seaside town built around the railway that arrived in 1862, and the character of the town still reflects that heritage. Marine Parade is the most distinctive stretch in the town, a terrace of colourfully painted Victorian houses looking out across Belfast Lough, and the locks and door furniture on these properties are a mix of original heritage mortice work and more recent replacements. Victoria Avenue, Balmoral Avenue and the streets running back from the seafront feature solid Victorian and Edwardian semi-detached houses, many with period timber front doors.
The sea air at Whitehead is among the most corrosive on the Antrim coast, and cylinders, hinges and letterplate mechanisms on seafront properties have a noticeably shorter life than those a few streets inland. We carry marine-grade and corrosion-resistant Euro cylinders on the van for exactly this reason. Whitehead also has a growing number of short-term holiday lets, given its easy rail access to Belfast, and we fit police-approved key safes for landlords here regularly. Response times from Belfast are typically 25 to 40 minutes via the A2 and the M5.
