What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in the front door after the last train home, a door that will not lock after a break-in or a lock that has jammed shut: the emergency line is answered around the clock. The engineer confirms the price before any work starts and checks the door locks properly before leaving.
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 Dartford and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Dartford: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Dartford?
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 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.
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 Dartford do you cover?
Every DA postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Gravesend, Rochester, Bexleyheath, Swanley, Greenhithe, Erith. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
Do you cover Gravesend, Sidcup and Bexleyheath as well as Dartford?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole DA postcode area, including Erith, Welling, Greenhithe, Swanscombe, Longfield and the Darent Valley villages, and we also attend nearby Rochester and Swanley.
Can you fix a composite door that will not lock without replacing it?
In many cases, yes. A door that will not lock is most often down to a worn handle, gearbox or multipoint mechanism rather than the door itself, and our engineers carry common uPVC parts. If the door has dropped on its hinges, the engineer will explain what is needed and confirm the price before starting.
