What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in the lock in the middle of a gale, a door forced during a break-in or a latch that will no longer hold: the emergency line is answered 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 Stornoway and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Stornoway: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Stornoway?
An engineer is typically with you in 30 to 60 minutes. 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 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.
Which areas around Stornoway do you cover?
Every HS postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Tarbert, Balivanich, Lochmaddy. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 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 you cover Harris, the Uists and Barra as well as Lewis?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole HS postcode area, from Stornoway and Tarbert to Lochmaddy, Balivanich, Lochboisdale and Castlebay. Island travel can add time, so give us your postcode on the call and we will tell you the arrival time.
My front door has gone stiff after a winter of Atlantic weather. Can the lock be repaired?
Often, yes. Salt air and driving rain wear on cylinders, hinges and handles, and our engineers can free, repair or replace the lock and check the door closes properly. The engineer confirms the price before starting work.
