What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a Victorian terrace door in Iffley, a back door that will not lock in Botley or a cylinder that has jammed late at night: the emergency line is answered around the clock, with no callout fee if you go ahead. Tell us where you are and we will say how long the engineer will be.
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 Oxford and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Oxford: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Oxford?
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 Oxford, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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.
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.
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 cover villages like Kidlington, Woodstock and Wheatley as well as central Oxford?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole OX postcode area, from Kidlington, Woodstock and Wheatley to Abingdon, Witney, Bicester and Banbury. Give us your village and street and we will confirm the arrival time on the call.
Can you replace a lock on an old timber door in a period or listed house?
Yes. We fit BS3621 mortice locks and anti-snap cylinders to timber doors in Georgian and Victorian houses. If your building is listed, check with the council before changing external door furniture, and tell the engineer when you call.
