What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a flat door in the small hours, a door that will not lock after a break-in attempt or a lock that has seized in the winter cold: the emergency line is answered day and night 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 Dundee and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Dundee: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Dundee?
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?

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.
Which areas around Dundee do you cover?
Every DD postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Carnoustie, Arbroath, Forfar, Montrose. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 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.
Do you cover Broughty Ferry, Carnoustie and Arbroath as well as the city centre?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole DD postcode area, including Monifieth, Newport-on-Tay, Tayport, Forfar, Brechin and Montrose.
Can you open a tenement flat door on a shared stair?
Yes. A shared street door or entry system normally belongs to the owners or the factor, but your own flat door is something we can deal with.
