What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a front door in Landport, a communal door that has stopped latching in Southsea or a lock that has failed in Copnor: the emergency line answers day and night. Callouts carry no fee, 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 Portsmouth and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Portsmouth: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Portsmouth?
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.
Which areas around Portsmouth do you cover?
Every PO postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Southampton, Fareham, Gosport, Havant, Cosham, Portsea. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 Portsmouth, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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.
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.

Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole PO postcode area, including Gosport, Fareham, Havant, Hayling Island, Chichester and Bognor Regis.
