The story behind the name

Born on Holy Island.Built for the North East.

Viking Locksmiths is one man: Daniel Wilson-Bell. Local, qualified, and the person who actually turns up.

The Viking name isn't a gimmick. Dan grew up on Holy Island, Lindisfarne, the stretch of Northumberland coast where the Viking longships first made landfall. It's where the name comes from, and it's where his connection to the North East runs deepest.

What the name stands for is simple: strength, reliability, and turning up when it matters. That's the promise on every lockout, lock change and security check, from Newcastle out across the wider North East.

Dan trained to a proper standard, City & Guilds accredited and NCFE Level 3 certified through MPL Training, so you're getting a qualified locksmith, not a weekend course. And because Viking Locksmiths grew out of an established local property maintenance business, the experience was there from day one (something Bdaily Business News covered when the locksmith arm launched).

Most importantly, you deal with Dan directly. No call centre, no dispatcher sending a stranger, no hidden fees. You call, he answers, he gives you a straight price, and he gets you sorted.

"When someone calls me locked out at 8 at night, they're already having a bad day. My job is to sort it quickly, charge them fairly, and leave them glad they called."
