Stephen
Archie was fantastic. He deserves the five stars given. Not only did he come in at the budget provided, but communicated several times and promptly on text and email. He arrived on time and even though we had supplied him with what a keylock company had said we needed - it was wrong - he went out and got the correct locks that were needed for the job and never charged extra or anything. He sent us an invoice after the job and we paid him. Simple. What a joy to get 5 star service in the current climate.

Quick work and reasonable price. Lovely chap. I'm very pleased with the work done.

How to find a local, reliable emergency locksmith
What can a 24 hour emergency locksmith help with?
A 24 hour emergency locksmith service can help out with a range of urgent lock and key-related issues that need immediate professional attention. This is regardless of the time of day or night. Common emergency locksmith services include:
- Emergency lockout assistance to help you get back into your home, office or vehicle if you’re locked out
- Lock rekeying, which involves changing the key to your door without replacing the whole lock
- Lock repair, for when your lock is broken or functioning badly
- Lock replacements, including to upgrade to a sturdier model
- Emergency key cutting services, so you can duplicate a set of keys quickly
- Broken key extraction to safely remove a key that has broken inside a lock
Locksmiths work on door locks, window locks and patio doors, helping you improve your home security. Not sure what type of lock you need? An emergency locksmith will be able to advise you on some approved models, from euro cylinder locks to mortice locks, and everything in between.
To receive a quick and reliable service for urgent lock repair and lock replacement services, choose a skilled emergency locksmith company in your local area.
Factors to consider before you hire an emergency locksmith
Whether you’ve been locked out of your home or your key broke inside your lock, an emergency 24 hour locksmith can help you get back inside your home in no time.
It’s really important that you choose a reliable emergency locksmith company to carry out work on your locks. Failing to do this can cause stress and expensive repairs.

Post a job today to find a local locksmith company as soon as possible.
How much does an emergency locksmith cost to hire?
How much it will cost you to hire an emergency locksmith depends on a range of factors, including:
- When you need the locksmith, with weekends, holiday periods, and non-working hour periods often costing more
- The scope of the locksmith installation or repair job, with higher service charges for more complex jobs
- The cost of any parts and materials your emergency locksmith might need to fix your problem
- Where you live in the UK, with cost of labour rising in London and the South East
On average, you can expect to pay anywhere between £40 and £150 an hour for emergency locksmith services, with additional charges for any lock parts and specialist equipment needed to complete the job.
Other emergency locksmith FAQ's
Questions to ask a 24 hour emergency locksmith
Before hiring, you should ask for a transparent price quote and confirm if they hold public liability insurance to protect your property against any accidental damage. It is also wise to ask about their years of experience to ensure they have the expertise needed to handle your specific lock emergency. You can easily verify their credentials, past customer ratings, and previous work galleries by checking their Rated People profile.
How long does it take for an emergency locksmith to arrive and open a door?
A local emergency locksmith typically aims to arrive at your property within 30 to 60 minutes of your call, depending on traffic and your location. Once on-site, a skilled professional using non-destructive entry methods can usually gain access to your home within 10 to 30 minutes without damaging your door.
Should I change my locks if my keys are lost or stolen?
Yes, if you cannot find your keys after retracing your steps, you should change your locks as soon as possible to secure your home. Replacing them is crucial because if a break-in occurs with no visible sign of forced entry, your home insurance policy could be completely invalidated. Taking this step eliminates the risk of someone using your keys to enter your property, giving you total peace of mind that your home security is fully intact.
When it comes to protecting your loved ones and your belongings, you can never be too careful. Speak to an emergency locksmith today to get a mobile locksmith to replace your locks within twenty-four hours.
