How quickly can a locksmith reach me in London?
When you are locked out, every minute matters. Our team aims to reach you within 1-2 hours, covering every London borough day and night. If you are facing a genuine security risk, a door that won’t lock after a break-in, or a vulnerable person shut inside, tell our call handlers, and our emergency property repairs team will prioritise our response.
How much does an emergency locksmith cost?
The cost of an emergency locksmith in London depends on the scope of the job, the type of lock, the parts needed and the time of callout. Simple lockouts where the existing lock can be reopened are among the quickest, easiest and cheapest jobs, whereas a full lock replacement and break-in remediation at 2 am will cost substantially more.
We remain open and honest at all times. From the initial quote to job completion, you’ll know exactly what you’ll be charged with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Something worth noting: Always be wary of locksmiths in London offering unrealistically low prices. It’s a common tactic. Lure you in with a cheap call-out or quoted price, then suddenly various costs get bolted on once the locksmith is at your door. We give you one price, and we stick to it.
Our Happy Clients
Locked out right now? What to do
If you are locked out right now and need immediate help, a few steps can keep the costs low and you safe.
- Check for another way in first: Check for an unlocked back door or window (only if safe to do so). If you have left a spare with a neighbour, go and see if they are in. Don’t force any doors or windows; you could hinder the repair and see your costs rise.
- Stay somewhere safe: If it’s late or you feel vulnerable, wait somewhere secure rather than outside a visibly locked-out property.
- Call us on 020 7186 0270: Tell us your location, and if you can, the type of door and lock. It helps ensure we have all the right equipment to get you back inside quickly.
- Don’t call the first cheap ad you see: Unusually low prices often climb fast once the locksmith arrives. Get a clear price upfront.
The more we are told on the phone, the quicker we fix your problem.
Types of locks we can help with
When you call, our team may ask about your door and lock so we arrive with everything we need to fix or replace your lock. It helps to know roughly which type you have, but don’t worry, if you don’t know or can’t remember, our emergency locksmiths in London can still get you back into your property. Common locks found on properties in London include:
- Euro cylinder locks: The most common lock on uPVC and composite doors. Vulnerable to snapping, so often upgraded to anti-snap.
- Mortice locks: Set into the door edge and usually found on wooden doors. A 5-lever British Standard (BS3621) mortice is the insurance benchmark.
- Multipoint locking systems: The multi-hook mechanisms on uPVC and composite doors that lock at several points when you lift the handle.
- Rim/night latch (Yale-type) locks: Surface-mounted latches that lock automatically when the door closes. A frequent cause of accidental lockouts.
- Smart and keyless locks: Keypad, fob or app-operated locks.
- Padlocks, safes and window locks: For outbuildings, gates, safes and added security.
Can’t quite picture the lock you’ve got? Don’t worry, describe the door and we’ll know exactly what to do.
