What counts as an emergency
A lock that fails or a door that will not close cannot wait until morning, whether it happens in a city centre flat or a farmhouse out towards Crediton.
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 Exeter and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Exeter: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Exeter?
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 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 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 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 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 Exeter, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Do you cover Topsham, Exmouth and the villages outside Exeter?
Yes. The 24/7 line covers Exeter, Topsham, Exmouth, Dawlish, Crediton, Tiverton, Cullompton, Honiton and Sidmouth. We confirm the arrival time for your address when you call, which matters most for outlying villages.
I have just moved into a student house near the university. Can you change the locks?
Yes. Whoever lived there before may still hold a key, so changing the cylinder is a sensible first step. If you rent, check with your landlord first, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
