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.

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 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.
Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your emergency locksmiths:
- Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects
- Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are offering the emergency locksmith work you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it done by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local locksmith companies

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

Should I change my locks if my keys are lost or stolen?
If you can’t find your keys, and you aren’t sure if you lost them or if somebody stole them, you might be wondering what the best thing to do is. First, retrace your steps and look in surrounding areas in case you dropped them on your way home or left them in a coffee shop or at work.
If you still can’t find them, it’s highly recommended that you change your locks as soon as possible. This is regardless of whether you have a spare set of keys or a family member who can let you in.
You should replace lost or stolen keys because:
- You may think you lost them but they were actually stolen (with the intention of breaking into your home)
- If your home is burgled without any sign of entry, not changing your locks could invalidate your insurance policy
- You won’t have peace of mind that your home security is up to scratch and that your home is protected from a potential break in attempt
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.
Questions to ask a 24 hour emergency locksmith
Make sure you ask your emergency locksmith these questions before you hire to ensure you’re making the right decision:
Are you licensed and insured?
Make sure to always ask your emergency locksmith company what insurance they have before you hire them. While it’s not a requirement, it’s a good idea for your lock installation specialist to have public liability insurance to cover you and them against any accidental damage done to your home or personal injuries. This will guarantee protection for both parties.
How much will the job cost?
Asking how much your emergency locksmith job will cost will help you budget for your project and will ensure price transparency before you hire. How much you’ll end up spending depends on the scope of your project, and where you live in the UK, so make sure you add plenty of details when you post a job.
How many years of experience do you have?
Knowing how many years of experience your emergency locksmith has will allow you to pick a tradesperson who you are confident has sufficient expertise to carry out a high quality job. When you’re finding a locksmith through Rated People, head over to their profile to check out the pictures on their work gallery and their ratings and reviews.
