Family business
We are a family run business who have a long and proud history. A father and daughter team who live and work in Northampton, we understand the local community and aim to meet their security needs.
There are a number of mobile locksmiths in the area but we are only one of two locksmiths in Northampton with a retail shop. Customers can reach us by phone or email but also visit the shop for that face to face to explain their security needs.
If the large chain stores can't meet your key cutting needs they will send you away. Northampton Locksmiths Ltd will always try and order blanks for those more unusual key types to satisfy the local customer.
Alan started his own business in 1965 working from 2 lock up garages and back then it was mainly carpentry and lock fitting. Over the years the business grew and was based in various sites eventually moving to Milton Street where Alan employed over 15 staff. These premises had large workshops, offices and a retail shop and services included boarding up and replacing shop windows, supplying and fitting domestic wooden, aluminium and UPVC doors and windows.
In 1988 the business moved to Birchfield Road East and concentrated on locks, keys, trophies and engraving.
Alan loves his gardening and making home brewed wine and beer.
Sharon started working on Saturdays in the family business; on leaving school in 1985 this became a full time job for her. The family business was very different back then and was based in Milton Street where she did a variety of jobs including fitting shop and domestic windows as well as cutting keys and fitting locks.
Years of experience and an understanding of how a lock works really helps when cutting keys especially if a customer has had keys cut elsewhere and they don’t fit.
We are the longest established independent family locksmiths in Northampton and have been trading since July 1965.

"I went to Northampton Locksmiths to get some spare keys cut. They were very helpful and they cut them while I waited (not long at all). I was also surprised at the cost having previously enquired at another shop with many branches across town. I highly recommend them."
"I called Northampton Locksmiths Ltd out to open a 5 lever mortise lock that was locked & inaccessible with the key. I dealt with Alan who was clearly very knowledgable & experienced. He provided me with prompt & efficient service entering & repairing my lock at a sensible price. Much less that the big nationals. Just the sort of skilled local company that I wanted. Highly recommended."
