What counts as an emergency
A key broken off in a front door, a back door left unsecure after a break-in attempt or a cylinder that has snapped: the emergency line is open around the clock with no callout fee if you go ahead. The engineer confirms the price before any work starts, from Hindley to Parbold.
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 Wigan and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in Wigan: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in Wigan?
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 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 Wigan, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 Wigan do you cover?
Every WN postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Bolton, Warrington, Leigh, St Helens, Standish, Ashton-in-Makerfield. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
Do you cover Leigh, Standish and Skelmersdale as well as Wigan town centre?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole WN postcode area, including Ashton-in-Makerfield, Orrell, Billinge, Shevington, Up Holland and Parbold.
My terrace door opens straight onto the street, can you fit a lock that stands up to a break-in attempt?
Yes. We fit BS3621 mortice locks and anti-snap cylinders on timber and composite doors. BS3621 is the standard many home insurers ask for on external doors, though it is worth checking your own policy.
