What counts as an emergency
A lock that jams shut in Chaddesden, a forced door in Littleover or a snapped key in Darley Abbey does not respect office hours. The emergency line is staffed day and night, and the engineer confirms the price before starting work.
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 Derby and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Derby: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Derby?
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.
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.
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 Derby, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Which areas around Derby do you cover?
Every DE postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Nottingham, Burton upon Trent, Long Eaton, Ilkeston, Belper, Ashbourne. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
Do you cover Ilkeston, Burton upon Trent and Matlock as well as Derby?
Yes. The DE area includes Ilkeston, Swadlincote and Burton upon Trent as well as Matlock, Belper, Ashbourne and Bakewell. The same 24 hour line, no callout fee if you go ahead, and free phone quote apply throughout.
My timber door swells and sticks in wet weather. Is that a lock problem?
It can be either. A swollen door can stop a lock from throwing, so the engineer checks the door, the lock and the keep before suggesting a repair or a replacement. The price is confirmed with you before work begins.
