Lost All Your Keys? We Can Help
If your keys are lost outside, we’ll open the door and then recommend a security refresh. Our lost keys locksmith can change the cylinder and supply new keys so the old set won’t work anymore.
If you think the keys are inside, we’ll focus on opening the door non-destructively. If the keys are definitely gone, we can complete a lock change and, if required, fit British Standard (BS3621) locks for insurance compliance. New keys cut on-site, clear guidance throughout.
Snapped Key in Lock — Emergency Extraction
A snapped key in lock emergency can jam the mechanism and make things worse fast. Please don’t try pliers or glue — they usually push the fragment deeper and damage the cylinder.
We use specialist key extractors, lighting, and scope tools to remove the broken piece cleanly. If the lock has been weakened or is already failing, we can replace it there and then, and make sure the door is working smoothly before we leave.
Non-Destructive Entry — No Damage to Your Door
Our first approach is always non-destructive entry. Depending on the lock, we may pick, bypass, or decode the mechanism to open it cleanly.
Sometimes drilling is unavoidable (e.g. failed mechanisms or certain high-security locks). If that happens, we’ll replace the cylinder like-for-like and can upgrade to BS3621 on request. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why at every step.
How Much Does an Emergency Locksmith Cost?
Pricing depends on the time of day, your lock type, access, and the work required, and we always give a clear quote before starting.

- Time of call (day, evening, overnight, weekend)
