About General Locksmith

Emergency Locksmith 24 is a UK-wide locksmith network covering 99+ cities and 45+ surrounding towns. We dispatch DBS-checked, fully insured engineers 24 hours a day, every day of the year — including bank holidays and Christmas. Average response across our coverage is 15-20 minutes.

What we do:

  • Emergency lockouts — non-destructive entry when you've lost keys, broken keys, or locked yourself out
  • Lock changes — including BS3621-rated and SS312 Diamond anti-snap cylinders for insurance compliance
  • uPVC door repairs — multipoint mechanism replacements, gearbox repairs, dropped door re-alignment
  • Burglary repairs — emergency boarding-up and post-incident lock replacement
  • Key extraction — broken keys removed without damaging the lock

We're focused on residential and small commercial work. We don't handle car keys, automotive lockouts, or large industrial installations. If you call us about a service we don't offer, we'll tell you straight away and try to point you to someone who does.

Three things matter when you need a locksmith: how fast they arrive, whether the price quoted on the phone is the price you pay, and whether the engineer knows what they're doing. The price you get on the call is the price you pay — no callout fee, no evening or weekend surcharge. Every engineer is background-checked and trained in non-destructive entry. We're rated 4.9★ on Google with 3,421 verified reviews.
