What people say about us

5.0 · 5 customer reviews

I recently used the services of the Emergency Locksmith 24 and I must say, I was highly impressed. The professional locksmiths arrived on time, were courteous, knowledgeable, and had all the tools to successfully complete the job. They did a great job, making sure everything was secure and all of the locks worked perfectly. Highly recommend this locksmith company.

Lisa M

I contacted the Emergency Locksmith 24 and they were extremely helpful right from the start. They provided me with a quick appointment and showed up on time ready to do the job. They were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and finished the job quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this locksmith company.

Andrew B

Fantastic, can't fault anything. I called about a broken front door lock, and they were out and had it fixed within the hour. Very pleased, thank you,

Abel D

Excellent service thanks for getting back to me immediately and calling out so quickly. Definitely recommend your services

VIKKI V

Fast, courteous and professional. Would recommend and use again.

Gary C

11pm-ish, locked out of the flat in Old Portsmouth near the Hot Walls. Engineer was there in 18 minutes, popped the uPVC door without damage, took the £39 as quoted. Pleasant and quick.

Claire S

Snapped my key in the front door of our terrace in Southsea (PO5) coming home late. Phoned around — these were the only ones who picked up first time. Within 22 minutes a lad was on the doorstep with the right tools, drilled the cylinder, fitted an anti-snap, and cut two new keys. Written warranty in hand by midnight. Decent price for a late-night job.

Ryan B

Quick, fair, no faff. Our holiday flat on the Isle of Wight had the lock seize. Locksmith took the next ferry across, fitted a new BS3621 mortice, sorted us by mid-afternoon. Price matched the quote, ferry and all.

Can you open my door without damaging the lock?
In the majority of cases, yes. Our engineers are trained in non-destructive entry techniques, which means your lock stays intact and doesn't need replacing. If we do need to drill, we'll always tell you beforehand and carry suitable replacements on the van.
How much does a locksmith cost in Portsmouth?
Labour starts from £39 and locks from £25, with no call-out charge. The exact cost depends on the type of lock and job required — but we'll always quote you a fixed price before starting work. No surprises on the bill.

How quickly can you reach Southsea or Old Portsmouth overnight?
PO1 (Old Portsmouth, Gunwharf) and PO4-PO5 (Southsea) are core territory. Most flat conversions there run Euro cylinder uPVC doors — non-destructive entry usually has you back in within 20 minutes. £39 labour, no call-out fee.
