About J Yates Locksmith

J Yates Locksmith is a sole trader locksmith business based in Cromford, serving Matlock, Wirksworth and the surrounding Derbyshire area. The business repairs and replaces locks, adjusts and realigns doors, and provides emergency lockout services for homes, garages and businesses.

Lock work includes repairs and servicing of traditional locks found in period properties, modern locking systems, British Standard lock upgrades, uPVC door lock and gearbox repairs, mortice lock repairs and cylinder changes. The business assesses each lock to determine whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective option. Door adjustment services address sticking doors, draughts, difficulty locking and misalignment in both internal and external doors, including composite doors and uPVC doors that have dropped over time.

For emergency lockouts, J Yates Locksmith uses non-destructive entry techniques to gain access with minimal damage. The business carries specialist tools and methods, and explains options clearly before carrying out any work.

J Yates Locksmith was started in 2026 by Jamie Yates after training with two experienced locksmiths. The business serves the local community as an independent trader, offering a personal service built on fair pricing and workmanship. Customers speak directly to Jamie when they call, and the business provides a prompt response to every job.

Repair comes before replacement here, with locks serviced or adjusted where possible. Upgrades cover British Standard locks and cylinder changes, and uPVC door locks and gearboxes are repaired or replaced. Mortice locks and the older traditional locks found in period Derbyshire houses are a stated speciality, and doors that have dropped, swollen or shifted are adjusted so they lock again.
