- If a child or pet is locked in a car on a warm day, call 911 first.
After a break-in
Once the police have finished, a damaged door can't be left as it is. We repair or replace forced locks, fit new strike plates and rekey locks if keys were taken, so you can lock up the same night. If the damage is to the door itself, we will tell you what we can fix and what needs a carpenter.
Emergencies on holidays and weekends
Holidays bring travel, guests and closed shops, which is when many lockouts happen. Read our guide to holiday and weekend lockouts and what to expect from a late-night locksmith call.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a locksmith emergency?
Anything that leaves you unable to get in or secure a property: lockouts, keys broken in a lock, a lock damaged in a break-in, or a door that won't lock at night.
Do emergency calls cost more?
Ask when you call. We give an estimate on the phone and confirm the price on site before work starts, whatever the time.
What should I do after a break-in?
Call the police first and stay safe. Once they have finished, we can repair or replace damaged locks and secure the door.
