What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a flat door late at night, a front door that will not lock after a break-in or a lock that has seized: 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 East London and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in East London: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in East 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.
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 East London, 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.
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.
Do you cover the whole of East London, from Canary Wharf to Chingford?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the E postcode area, from Whitechapel, Bow, Stratford and Canary Wharf out to Walthamstow, Chingford and Wanstead, and we also attend Barking and Ilford nearby.
Can you help with a flat in a high-rise or a converted warehouse?
Yes, we can repair, re-key or replace the lock on your own flat door, and the engineer confirms the price before starting. A shared entrance door or entry system usually belongs to the managing agent or freeholder, so tell us on the call which door is the problem.
