What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in an old timber door in Frankwell, a lock failing in the middle of the night in Meole Brace or a back door that will not secure in Sundorne can be dealt with at any hour. The line is open 24 hours, with no callout fee if you go ahead.
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 Shrewsbury and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Shrewsbury: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Shrewsbury?
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.
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.
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.
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 cover Aberystwyth, Welshpool and Newtown as well as Shrewsbury?
Yes. Our 24-hour line covers the whole SY postcode area, from Shrewsbury and Ludlow across the border to Welshpool, Newtown, Machynlleth and Aberystwyth.
Can you fit a modern lock to an old timber or listed door in Shrewsbury or Ludlow?
Usually, if the door itself is sound. Mention it on the call if the building is listed, so the engineer can plan a lock that suits the door.
