Emergency Lockout Service — Locksmith Gain Entry

Locked out of your home, office or rental? Get back inside from £75. Our local locksmiths arrive fast and gain entry using non-destructive techniques wherever possible — so your existing lock keeps working and there are no expensive replacements unless you want them. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and bank holidays.

What's included

• Rapid response to your address (typically 30–60 minutes)
• Non-destructive entry techniques used wherever possible
• Full assessment of the lock once inside
• Advice on whether the lock needs replacement
• No call-out fee — the price you see covers attendance and entry

Pricing

Standard daytime callouts start from £75. Evening, overnight, weekend and bank holiday callouts are priced higher to reflect out-of-hours availability. The price quoted covers gaining entry — if the lock is damaged and needs replacing, that's a separate cost we'll confirm before any work. No VAT and no call-out fee — the price you see is the price you pay. Parts and labour are included unless otherwise stated.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can a locksmith get to me?
In most urban areas we aim to arrive within 30–60 minutes. We'll give you a confirmed ETA when you call.

Will you damage my lock to get in?
No, in over 95% of cases we use non-destructive entry techniques such as picking or bypassing. Drilling is a last resort and only with your permission.

Do you charge a call-out fee on top?
No. The price you see is the price for attending and gaining entry. Any replacement parts are quoted separately and only with your approval.

Are you available at night and weekends?
Yes — we operate 24/7 including weekends and bank holidays. Out-of-hours rates apply between 6pm and 8am.
