What counts as a locksmith emergency?
Locked out, broken in, snapped key, jammed multipoint, door that won't close. Anything that stops you securing the property tonight.
-
Can you board up a damaged door?
Engineers carry plywood and timber for emergency boarding. We make the property secure the same night and book full repair for the next working day.
-
Will home insurance pay for the callout?
Many home policies include emergency locksmith cover. We supply itemised invoices showing parts, labour and lock specifications for your claim.

-
Toddler locked me out of the kitchen with the key in the inside cylinder. Picked it from the outside, no drilling, no replacement needed. Out in 15 minutes once he arrived.
-
Key snapped flush in the cylinder of our 1930s semi. Thought I'd be drilling it out myself. Engineer pulled the broken end with a tiny extractor in five minutes flat.
-
Five-lever mortice on a back door in Farnworth was original to the 1920s house. Stiff as anything. Replaced with a new BS3621, kept the brass plate, looks original.
-
uPVC back door wouldn't engage the top hook. Multipoint had worn out after twenty-odd years. Engineer swapped it inside an hour, £89.
