What counts as an emergency

A door that will not lock at midnight in Rusholme, or a front door that will not close after a break-in in Harpurhey, cannot wait until morning. The phone line is open 24 hours a day, the quote is free, and the engineer confirms the price with you before work begins.

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 Manchester and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Manchester: common questions

How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Manchester?

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.

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 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 Manchester, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.

Which areas around Manchester do you cover?

Every M postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Salford, Stockport, Oldham, Bury, Trafford, Didsbury. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.

Do you cover Salford and Trafford as well as Manchester itself?

Yes. The M postcode area runs well beyond the city boundary, and we cover Salford, Stretford, Sale, Eccles, Prestwich and Failsworth among many others.

I live in a city centre flat with a fob-entry building. Can you help if I am locked out of my flat?

We can open and, if needed, replace the lock on your own flat door. The main building entrance and fob system are usually run by the managing agent, so they would need to be contacted separately for those.
