Emergency Locksmith
Locked out, snapped key, jammed door — a vetted engineer on the road within minutes, 24 hours a day.
Emergency Locksmith →Whether you have lost a set of keys, taken over a new flat, ended a tenancy or split with someone who still has a key, replacing the lock is quick and straightforward. Our engineers carry stock, so it is done on the first visit.
We fit hardware that meets what your insurer asks for: TS007 3-star anti-snap euro cylinders for uPVC and composite doors, BS3621 five-lever mortice deadlocks for timber doors, and British Standard nightlatches for communal and front entrances.
Most UK home insurance policies specify a BS3621 lock on final exit timber doors, and increasingly a TS007 3-star or Sold Secure Diamond cylinder on uPVC and composite doors. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo of the lock edge on WhatsApp and we will tell you what it is before we come out.
Lock snapping is still one of the most common forced-entry methods on uPVC doors in London. A standard cylinder can be snapped in seconds; a 3-star anti-snap cylinder sacrifices its outer section and keeps the cam protected. It is one of the simplest and most effective security upgrades available.
If you are juggling a front door, a back door, a side gate and a garage, we can supply cylinders keyed to one common key. Handy for landlords and HMO owners too, where a master key opens every flat door while each tenant key only opens their own.
A euro cylinder swap takes minutes. A British Standard mortice deadlock takes longer because the lock body sits inside the door. Either way our engineers carry the hardware with them, so it is done on the first visit rather than booked in for a second.

Yes. You have no way of knowing how many keys are in circulation from previous tenants, owners, builders, cleaners or agents. It is the single most sensible thing you can do for peace of mind on day one.
