Emergency Locksmith
Locked out, snapped key, jammed door — a vetted engineer on the road within minutes, 24 hours a day.
Emergency Locksmith →After a break-in the priority is simple: make the property secure tonight. We attend as an emergency, get the door closing and locking again, and if the frame is beyond an immediate fix we board up and return to repair properly.
We work with insurers every week and provide a written description of the damage and the work done, which is what your claim handler will ask for.
Get a crime reference number before anything is repaired — your insurer will need it, and officers may want to attend before the scene is disturbed. Once you have that, we can start. Tell us on the phone whether the police have finished so the engineer arrives at the right moment.
Burglars usually come back through the same weakness, and often at the same property. Whatever failed — a snappable cylinder, a soft frame, a single hinge side, an accessible side gate — we fix that specifically rather than putting the same standard of hardware back on.
A written description of the damage found, the work carried out, the standard of hardware fitted (for example TS007 3-star, BS3621) and the date and time of attendance. We supply all of it as standard, and can email it directly to your claims handler.
Yes, and usually the same visit. We replace forced or drilled cylinders with 3-star anti-snap equivalents, repair or reinforce damage to the door and frame, and make the property secure before we leave.
Most home policies cover damage caused by forced entry, subject to your excess and the lock standards in your policy. We give you a full written damage and works report so your claim handler has what they need. Get a crime reference number from the police before repairs start.
We attend as an emergency, secure the opening, and if the door cannot be made functional immediately we board it up and return to complete the repair. You will not be left with an open door.
Call now and speak to an engineer. We aim to be with you within 30 minutes, 24 hours a day.
We deliver this service in every area we cover. Choose your area for local response times and postcodes.
