Open 6:00 AM to 8:30 PM · No VAT added to any job
Locked Out covers Leigh and the WN7 postcode from Wigan, cutting and programming car keys at the vehicle. A spare key or a lockout starts from £80 and a lost key starts from £135, with no VAT added.
Leigh has its own run of locksmiths advertising day and night, so the figure worth checking against any of them is whether VAT is already included in the quoted price, because it often is not.
