Common Residential Emergency Scenarios

Late Night Lockouts - You arrive home after work or a night out to discover you've lost your keys. Our 24/7 service means you won't be left waiting outside until morning. We'll have you back inside quickly and can fit replacement locks immediately if your keys were stolen.

Keys Locked Inside - You've stepped outside briefly and the door has closed behind you with your keys still inside. This is one of the most common emergency situations we attend. Using specialist picks and tension wrenches, we can unlock most doors within minutes without damage.

Broken Keys in Locks - Keys can snap when locks become stiff or if excessive force is applied. Our locksmiths use precise extraction tools to remove broken key fragments safely, then provide duplicate replacements and repair the lock mechanism to prevent recurrence.

Post-Burglary Emergencies - If you've experienced a break-in, immediate lock replacement is essential for your security and peace of mind. We provide rapid response for burglary damage, boarding up doors if necessary and fitting high-security replacement locks. Our work meets all insurance requirements, and we provide detailed documentation for claims.

Domestic Disputes - When relationships break down, lock changes may be necessary for safety. We handle these sensitive situations professionally and discretely, always ensuring we're working with the legal homeowner or tenant.

Stuck or Frozen Locks - UK weather can cause locks to freeze or swell, making them impossible to open. Rather than forcing the mechanism and causing damage, our locksmiths use appropriate techniques to open stuck locks safely and apply treatments to prevent future problems.
