Locked Out in London? What to Do Next

If you cannot get into your home, avoid forcing the door or trying to damage the lock. First, check whether you have another safe way to enter or whether someone you trust has a spare key. If you still cannot get inside, a professional emergency locksmith can assess the lock and explain the available options.

  1. Check for a spare key. Contact a trusted family member, neighbour, landlord or property manager if they have one.
  2. Don't force the door. Trying to break or pick the lock yourself can cause additional damage and increase the cost of getting back inside.
  3. Call a locksmith 020 8066 0262. Tell the locksmith what happened and provide your postcode so they can check availability and give you an estimated arrival time.
  4. Confirm the price before work starts. Ask what is included and whether any additional parts or work could be required.
  5. Have proof of address or identification ready. A locksmith may need to verify that you are authorised to enter the property before carrying out the work.

If you need urgent assistance, our emergency locksmith service can help with lockouts, lost keys and other urgent access problems.

London Locksmith Services FAQ

How much does a locksmith cost in London?
Our London locksmith services start from £79, or from £49 for Fantastic Club members. That covers lock changes, repairs, lockouts and broken key removal, with the call-out included. A fresh lock installation starts from £119 (£89 for members). Parts are extra and agreed before fitting, so you know the full price before any work starts.
How do I know if a locksmith is legit?
A legitimate locksmith tells you the price before they set off, shows ID, checks you live at the property and gives you an invoice. Be wary of vague phone quotes that jump once the locksmith arrives. All our locksmiths are DBS-checked and insured, prices are agreed upfront, and we're rated Excellent from 53,700+ Trustpilot reviews.
Can I get my locks changed for free?
Only in specific cases. If you rent, your landlord is usually responsible for faulty locks, so check your tenancy agreement first. Some councils and victim support schemes fund lock changes after a burglary or for people at risk. Otherwise, a lock change with us starts from £79 (£49 for Fantastic Club members), call-out included, with a 12-month guarantee.
How quickly can a locksmith get to me in London?
We aim to have a locksmith with you within 30 minutes anywhere in London, 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays. For non-urgent jobs like lock upgrades, you can choose a time slot that suits you. Locked out right now? Book our emergency locksmith service or call 020 8066 0262.
Do you work with British Standard locks?
Yes. Our locksmiths supply and fit British Standard BS3621 locks, the grade most home insurers expect on external doors, plus anti-snap cylinders for uPVC doors. If you're changing locks after moving in or a break-in, we'll tell you which locks meet your insurer's requirements before fitting anything.
Do you charge more at night or weekends?
Out-of-hours jobs (evenings, weekends and bank holidays) can cost more. You'll always see the exact price before you book, and it's agreed before the locksmith sets off, with the call-out included.
Is there a call-out fee for a locksmith in London?
No. Once your service is agreed and booked, the call-out is included in the price. There's no separate charge for the locksmith to come to you. The only extra is parts, which are agreed with you before fitting. A £79 cancellation fee applies only if you cancel after the locksmith has been dispatched.
Do London locksmiths accept card or online payments?
We do. You can pay securely online when you book or in the GoFantastic app, and you'll get an itemised invoice for every job.
Do you offer lock changes for landlords and tenants?
Yes. We provide lock changes for landlords and tenants in London, including when keys are lost, locks need upgrading or a property has changed occupants. The locksmith can assess the existing lock, explain the available options and confirm the price before any work starts. Tenants should have the landlord’s permission where required.
Can you change my locks the same day after a break-in?
Yes. Same-day lock changes are available after a break-in, subject to local locksmith availability. A locksmith can assess the damage, secure the property and replace damaged or compromised locks where needed. You’ll know the price before any additional work starts, so you can decide how to proceed.
