What counts as an emergency
A forced shop door in Shoreditch, an office lock that has jammed after hours or a flat door damaged in a break-in near Aldgate: the emergency line is answered around the clock with no callout fee if you go ahead.
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 the City of London and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in the City of London: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in the City of London?
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.
Can you secure my door after a break-in?
Yes. We replace damaged locks, make the door secure the same day and give you a receipt for your insurer.
How do I pay?
When the job is finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, and you get a written receipt you can use for an insurance claim.
How quickly can someone get to me?
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 based on where the nearest engineer is right now.
Can an engineer attend a City office or shop at night or at the weekend?
Yes. The phone line is answered 24 hours a day and there is no callout fee if you go ahead, so an engineer can attend after hours. If the premises are leased, tell us on the call whether you are the tenant or the landlord, because the managing agent can have a say in which lock is fitted.
Do you cover Clerkenwell, Hatton Garden and Shoreditch as well as the Square Mile?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the EC postcode area, including Clerkenwell, Hatton Garden, the Barbican, Finsbury and the Shoreditch edge, and we also attend Aldgate, Whitechapel and Bermondsey nearby.
