What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a terrace door in Woodston, a back door that will not lock in Paston or a lock that has failed at two in the morning: the emergency line is answered around the clock. Nothing is charged for the callout, and the price is confirmed before any 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 Peterborough and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Peterborough?
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 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.

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 replace the lock on a Victorian terrace in Millfield without changing the whole door?
In most cases the new lock can be fitted to the existing door. The engineer will look at the door on arrival, explain the options and confirm the price before starting.
