About All Hours NI — Belfast's 24/7 Local Locksmith
All Hours NI is a local Belfast locksmith service built around one straightforward idea — people in Belfast should always be able to reach a qualified, trustworthy locksmith, no matter the time of day or night. Not a call centre. Not a franchise operation. A genuine local service that answers the phone at 3am just as readily as at 3pm.
When you call All Hours NI, you're speaking directly to the person who'll be at your door. There's no switchboard, no middleman, no national company routing your job to whoever's closest. Just a local Belfast locksmith who takes your call, gives you an honest price, and turns up fast.
Who We Are
We're a Belfast-based locksmith service covering the city and its surrounding areas — East Belfast, South Belfast, Lisburn, Bangor, Newtownards, Dundonald and beyond. We work with homeowners, tenants, landlords and businesses. Every job, big or small, gets the same level of care and professionalism.
We've built our reputation the old-fashioned way — by showing up on time, doing good work, charging fair prices and treating every customer's property with respect. We don't take shortcuts and we don't upsell unnecessary work. If your lock is fine, we'll tell you. If it needs replacing, we'll explain why and give you a clear price before touching anything.
Our ethos is simple: honest pricing with no hidden charges, no upselling, and no pressure. We treat every property — whether it's a terraced house or a commercial unit — with the same level of care and respect. We always explain clearly what we're doing and why before we start any work. If something doesn't need replacing, we won't replace it. If it does, we'll tell you straight and give you a price before we touch anything. That's how we think a locksmith should operate, and it's how we run every single job.
Why We Started All Hours NI
Belfast has a problem with rogue locksmiths. People locked out at night — stressed, vulnerable, often alone — get taken advantage of by operators who quote one price on the phone and charge triple at the door. Or call centres based hundreds of miles away that dispatch untrained workers who drill out locks unnecessarily and charge a fortune for parts that cost a fraction of what they're billing.
We started All Hours NI because Belfast deserves better than that. A properly qualified, genuinely local locksmith who's transparent about pricing, skilled enough to open most doors without causing damage, and available at any hour without exploiting the situation. That's what we set out to be — and that's what we deliver every day.
