What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a terrace door off Mill Road, a lock that has failed on a flat near the station or a back door in Chesterton that will not secure: the emergency line answers around the clock.
Being locked out, a lock that will not open or will not lock, a key snapped in the door, or a door damaged in a break-in. If you cannot get in, or cannot leave the house secure, it is an emergency and we treat it as one.
Day or night, including weekends and bank holidays, the price is the same. You get a quote on the phone, the nearest engineer drives to you in Cambridge and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Cambridge: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Cambridge?
An engineer is typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes, and within 30 minutes at most. We give you a time on the phone and the engineer calls if anything changes.
My key has snapped in the lock. Can you help?
Yes. We extract the broken piece and, if the lock is damaged, replace the cylinder there and then. Do not try to push the rest of the key in.
How does pricing work?
Tell us the door, the lock and what has happened, and we give you a free quote on the phone. When the engineer arrives, they check the lock and confirm the final price with you before starting any work. Nothing is done without your agreement. A £49 assessment fee applies only if you cancel after the engineer has arrived.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Cambridge, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Do nights and weekends cost more?
No. The price is the same at 3am on a Sunday as it is at midday on a Tuesday, bank holidays included.
Which areas around Cambridge do you cover?
Every CB postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Ely, Saffron Walden, Newmarket, St Ives, Histon, Trumpington. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
I live in a village outside Cambridge. Do you still come out?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole CB postcode area, including Ely, Newmarket, Saffron Walden, Histon, Cottenham and Waterbeach. Give us your village and street and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.
Can you re-key a rented house when a tenant moves out?
Yes. We can fit new locks or new cylinders so the old keys stop working, and hand the new keys over on completion. We will confirm who is entitled to authorise the work before starting.
