Case Study of an urgent job carried out by our locksmiths
We received a call at 11.15 pm from a house owner who had returned home just to be faced with the unpleasant situation of being locked out of his own house, because he was unable to unlock his door with the key. After asking several questions, Tudor, our emergency locksmith, assumed that he would need to replace the door lock and quoted 2 hours at £69/hour (£138 total cost). The homeowner agreed, and Tudor arrived on site within 15 minutes. On close inspection, Tudor attempted a simple non-destructive entry and succeeded. Tudor then continued by fixing the Yale mechanism – all in all, Tudor spent 45 minutes on site, and he invoiced the customer £95 vs. the initial £138 quote.
Our 4-Step Emergency
Locksmith Service Process
Step 1: You have an urgent need for a locksmith and you call us
You call our 24/7 emergency line. You speak directly with our locksmith who will try to figure out and diagnose the type of lock emergency you have (e.g., snapped key, failed uPVC mechanism) and provide an immediate, honest price estimation based on your description of the lock emergency.
Step 2: Our locksmith estimates the arrival time and provides an estimated time of arrival
We pinpoint your location and instantly deploy our nearest mobile technician from our Waterloo SE1 office, keeping you updated on the exact arrival time. Because our locksmiths are centrally located in London, we have direct, immediate access to all areas in London. Some examples of arrival times include:
- Central London & South Bank (Waterloo, Southwark, Bank, Westminster, Covent Garden): 15 to 25 minutes.
- Greater London Zones 2-3 (Clapham, Brixton, Camden, Hackney, Islington): 25 to 40 minutes.
- Out-of-Hours & Weekends: 24/7 coverage with dedicated emergency locksmith technicians stationed to bypass typical London traffic jams.
Step 3: On-Site Fixed, Transparent Quote with no hidden fees
Before a single tool touches your door, our technician evaluates the issue on-site and provides a final, fixed price. No hidden additions, no sudden structural fee increases. We do not use misleading “from £29” pricing tricks common in London – our “from £29” price offer is real (for example, if our locksmith reaches your property and finds there is no real issue with your lock, we will only charge you a nominal £29 fee to cover our travel expenses). You will always see clear estimates upfront.
Real Price Examples (VAT Included):
- Emergency Door Opening: £45 – £74 for a simple, non-destructive entry. If the lock is broken and requires drilling, it ranges from £124 – £164.
- Standard Lock Change (Labour): £44 per lock.
- High-Security Upgrades: Premium British Standard / Insurance Approved 3-Star anti-snap Euro cylinders start from £134 to £215 depending on the brand.
Step 4: Non-Destructive Entry & 1 Year Guarantee
Our emergency locksmiths always prioritize non-destructive entry methods (picking or bypassing) to keep your costs low. Once completed, we test the keys with you, clean up, and hand over your receipt. Every single lock we fit and all work completed by our rapid response locksmith team is backed by a comprehensive 12-month warranty. If a component fails due to the work we completed or requires adjustment due to everyday use within a year, our locksmiths will return to fix it completely free of charge.
