What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a Victorian terrace door late at night, a lock that will not hold after a break-in attempt or a cylinder seized by damp: the emergency line is answered around the clock with no callout fee if you go ahead.
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 York and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Emergency locksmith in York: common questions
How fast can an emergency locksmith get to me in York?
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.
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 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.
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 York, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Can you work on an older door in a listed building inside the city walls?
Yes. Our engineers can repair, re-key or fit a suitable lock to older timber doors, and the engineer will explain what is possible and confirm the price first. Where a change would alter how a listed door looks, it is worth checking with the council before we go ahead.
Do you cover Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington or only York?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole YO postcode area, from York and Selby to Malton, Pickering, Scarborough, Whitby, Filey and Bridlington.
