What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a terrace door in St Denys, a lock that has failed after a late shift or a back door that will not secure in Millbrook: the emergency line answers around the clock.
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 Southampton and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Southampton: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Southampton?
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.
Which areas around Southampton do you cover?
Every SO postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Portsmouth, Winchester, Eastleigh, Romsey, Bitterne, Shirley. 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 Southampton, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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.
Can I get new locks fitted quickly on a student let in Portswood?
Call the 24-hour line, give us the address and we will say how soon an engineer can arrive, with a free quote on the phone. We will check who is entitled to authorise the work before we start.
Do you cover Winchester, Romsey and the New Forest as well as Southampton?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole SO postcode area, including Eastleigh, Totton, Lymington, Lyndhurst and Bishop's Waltham.
