What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in the door at two in the morning, a lock forced during a break-in or a latch that will not hold in a gale off the estuary: the emergency line is answered around the clock. There is no callout fee if you go ahead, and the engineer confirms the price before work starts.
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 Ipswich and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Ipswich: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Ipswich?
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.
Which areas around Ipswich do you cover?
Every IP postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Stowmarket, Colchester, Kesgrave, Martlesham. 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 you cover Felixstowe, Woodbridge and the Suffolk coast as well as Ipswich?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole IP postcode area, including Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, Southwold, Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds, and reaches into Norfolk at Diss and Thetford. Give us your postcode when you call and we will confirm the arrival time.
My insurer wants a British Standard lock on the front door of our Victorian terrace. What do we need?
For a timber door, a BS3621 mortice deadlock is the usual answer, and it is the standard many insurers ask for. The engineer checks the door on arrival, explains the options and confirms the price before starting.
