Is your emergency locksmith service really 24/7?

Yes. Emergency calls about lockouts, failed locks and break-in damage are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Does an emergency call-out cost more?

After-hours work is priced higher than a booked visit. You are told the price or range before anyone is dispatched.

What should I do after a break-in?

Call the police first, avoid touching damaged hardware, then call us to secure the door. Photograph the damage for your insurer.

Can you secure a door that has been kicked in?

Usually, yes. Torn strikes and split jambs can be reinforced or temporarily secured so the property can be locked that night.

What counts as a locksmith emergency

An emergency is any situation where a property cannot be secured, or someone cannot get in when they need to. That includes being locked out with a child or pet inside, a door that will not lock overnight, a lock damaged in a break-in, or a business that cannot close its premises. If you are unsure, call and describe it. We will tell you honestly whether it needs attention now or can safely wait until morning.

Securing a property after a break-in

After a forced entry the priority is to make the door lockable again the same day. That might mean replacing a damaged cylinder, refitting a strike plate that has been torn out of the frame, or fitting a temporary lock until a permanent repair can be arranged. Police should be called first if the break-in has just happened. Keep the damaged parts, as your insurer may ask about them.

Broken and jammed keys

A key that breaks inside a cylinder can usually be extracted without replacing the lock. The cylinder is then checked, because keys normally break when a lock is already stiff or worn. If the pins are damaged, a repair or rekey stops the same thing happening next week. A spare key that is worn thin is another common culprit, and we can cut a fresh key from the code or a good original.

After-hours work and pricing

Work outside office hours costs more than a booked weekday visit because someone is leaving home at short notice. You will be told the call-out price, or the likely range, on the phone before anyone is sent. If the situation can safely wait until office hours, we will say so, because that is usually the cheaper option for you.
