What counts as a locksmith emergency
If your home or business can't be locked, or you can't get in, it's an emergency. These are the calls we treat as urgent.
After a break-in
Burglars often damage locks, keeps and frames. We replace broken locks, repair the keep and leave the door properly secured, so you're not sitting up all night with a door that won't lock.
A lock that has failed completely
A gearbox that gives way or a latch that won't hold can leave a door that won't shut or won't open. We repair or replace the failed part on the spot.
Locked out with someone vulnerable inside
A child, an elderly relative or a pet on the wrong side of the door makes a lockout urgent. Tell us when you call and we'll prioritise the job.
Securing your property after a break-in
After a burglary or attempted break-in, call the police first and keep a note of the crime reference number. Once it's safe, we can attend to repair the damage. Your insurer will usually want that reference, along with our invoice for the replacement locks.
On arrival, your locksmith checks every external door and accessible window, not just the one that was forced. Burglars sometimes test several entry points, and a damaged keep or loosened cylinder elsewhere can be easy to miss.
We replace damaged locks with British Standard models, so the door is at least as secure as before and often better. If the frame or door is badly damaged, we make it lockable for now and explain what a joiner or door fitter will need to do next.
