What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a villa door after an evening on the harbour, a lock that has seized in the damp or a door that will not secure at 3am: the emergency line is answered 24 hours a day.
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 Torquay and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Torquay: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Torquay?
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 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 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.
Which areas around Torquay do you cover?
Every TQ postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Newton Abbot, Paignton, Exeter, Teignmouth, Babbacombe, St Marychurch. 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 Torquay, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Do you cover Paignton, Brixham, Totnes and Newton Abbot as well as Torquay?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole TQ postcode area, including Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Buckfastleigh, Bovey Tracey and Teignmouth.
Does sea air wear out locks on seafront flats and holiday lets?
It can. Salt in the air corrodes exposed steel and brass over time, which can leave cylinders stiff and handles sticking. The engineer will look at what is worn, explain the options and confirm the price before starting.
