Wrexham is our home town — the largest town in North Wales and the base Dee Valley Locksmiths works from. That means the whole of Wrexham and its neighbourhoods are right on the doorstep: Acton, Borras, Rhostyllen, Johnstown, Llay and the National Trust estate at Erddig, out to Cefn Mawr, Acrefair and Penycae in the south of the county. Being local rather than a national line means we cover all of it quickly, along with the surrounding areas of Brymbo, Chirk, Coedpoeth, Gresford and Marchwiel, and further out to Chester, Shrewsbury and Oswestry. Over the border, our Oswestry coverage takes in the Shropshire villages too.
Across a town this size we see the full range: lockouts, lock changes for new homeowners, securing businesses, and the steady flow of uPVC doors that won't lock cleanly. The one worth flagging is the summer stiff-door problem — a door expands in warm weather, the multipoint mechanism binds, and forcing the handle up to lock it is what breaks the gearbox inside. Catch it while it's just stiff and it's a simple fix; leave it and it becomes an emergency. We replace gearboxes, realign dropped doors, swap worn handles, hinges and cylinders, and handle garage doors, van locks and vehicle lockouts.
Everything runs 24/7 with no call-out fee, from an award-winning local locksmith — a Wales StartUp Awards finalist and Wales Prestige Award winner. Whether it's a late lockout in Acton or a security upgrade in Rhostyllen, you're dealing with a Wrexham locksmith who's genuinely nearby.
The front-door key had seized in a composite door after the euro cylinder's cam slipped. We removed the failed cylinder without damaging the door or handles and fitted a high-security anti-snap cylinder.

“Awful day in work and then the key snapped going into my conservatory where I live in Wrexham. Simon immediately took ownership of the situation and made me feel at ease, explaining everything in language that I could easily understand. No call out charge and perfect service all round. Anyone needing a locksmith then Simon is the man for the job. Thank you Simon, I will definitely contact you again if I need any other work doing in the future.”
