When to Call an Emergency Locksmith in London

Call an emergency locksmith when you can't get into your home or business, or can't lock it safely. Our London locksmiths work 24/7, are DBS-checked and insured, and usually arrive within about 30 minutes.

  • Locked out or locked in: We try non-destructive entry first, so in most cases your lock and door stay undamaged. Typically 15–30 minutes on site.
  • Key snapped or stuck in the lock: We remove the broken piece without damaging the cylinder and can cut a replacement key on the spot where possible.
  • Keys lost or stolen: We change the lock the same night, so an old key can't be used. We fit insurance-approved BS3621 locks and TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders].
  • After a break-in: We make the property secure straight away with board-ups and new locks, then arrange door and frame repairs.
  • Door won't lock or close: We fix failed uPVC multipoint mechanisms, jammed euro cylinders and faulty night latches, so you're not left with a door you can't secure overnight.
