What counts as an emergency
A cylinder frozen solid on a January morning, a key snapped in a stair door or a lock forced during a break-in: the emergency line is answered around the clock.
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 Inverness and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.
Locksmiths who know Inverness

Emergency locksmith in Inverness: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Inverness?
An engineer is typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes, and within 30 minutes at most on the mainland. 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 on the mainland. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.
Which areas around Inverness do you cover?
Every IV postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Nairn, Dingwall, Elgin, Forres, Invergordon. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 far from Inverness do you cover?
The same 24-hour line covers the whole IV postcode area, including Nairn, Elgin, Forres, Dingwall, Tain, Dornoch, Ullapool and Kyle of Lochalsh. Distances are long in the Highlands, so give us your postcode on the call and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.
My lock has frozen solid in a hard frost. Can you get me inside?
Yes. A cylinder that seizes in the cold is a common reason for a call, and our engineers can free it, repair it or replace it. They check the door locks properly before they leave, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
