What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a door in Prittlewell, a lock on a seafront flat that has seized, or a back door in Pitsea that will not secure at night: the emergency line is answered around the clock. Nothing is charged for the callout, and the price is confirmed before any work starts.
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 Southend and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Southend: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Southend?
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.
Which areas around Southend do you cover?
Every SS postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Basildon, Rochford, Rayleigh, Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff, Hadleigh. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 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 you cover Basildon, Rayleigh and Canvey Island as well as Southend?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole SS postcode area, including Leigh-on-Sea, Rochford, Hockley, Wickford and Stanford-le-Hope.
Can salt air damage a lock on a seafront flat?
It can. Salt in the air corrodes exterior locks, hinges and handles over time, which is why they stiffen or seize near the sea. An engineer can free, repair or replace the lock, and will confirm the price before starting.
