Fitzpatrick Locksmiths — handymen in Dublin

Fitzpatrick Locksmiths covers the Dublin area from its base at Ashfield Park in Kingswood. Because the business works from premises rather than travelling as a service-area firm, you can visit or phone to check whether it reaches your street. Ask about the distance from Kingswood before booking, especially for an urgent job.

The price of locksmith services in Dublin depends mainly on the type of job, the lock and its security grade, and whether the call is in-hours or an emergency call-out. Non-destructive opening can cost differently from drilling, so ask which method is needed. The Locksmith price guide gives typical prices in Ireland, so you can compare your job against it before agreeing a price.

Work that touches gas or the fuse board has to be carried out by an RGI or Safe Electric contractor rather than a general handyman, so ask which part of your job falls under that rule. For locksmith work, ask about training, years of experience and the locks they usually fit. Check any qualification they name before the visit.

Ask the company whether its work is covered by public liability insurance and what guarantee applies to new locks or repairs. This is usual for a trade business in Ireland, so you can ask to see the certificate before the job starts. Ask in writing what the guarantee covers, including parts and labour.

Fitzpatrick Locksmiths has a Google rating of 5 from 15 reviews, which you can read on its Google Maps page at https://maps.google.com/?cid=8515343156128463555. Look at the dates and the detail in recent reviews to see how recent jobs were handled. You can also ask the company for references from recent customers.

Locksmith work is not usually covered by a home grant in Ireland, so you would normally pay the full cost yourself. Ask the company to confirm the charge in writing before the work goes ahead, so you know exactly what you are paying.

You can ask for a quote by phone or through its Locufy page. Describe the job, the lock or door involved, where it is and whether it is urgent or planned, and add photos if you have them. Say when the work suits you, as that helps the company plan its visit.
