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.
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,
Excellent service thanks for getting back to me immediately and calling out so quickly. Definitely recommend your services
Fast, courteous and professional. Would recommend and use again.
My back door wouldn't budge after the cold snap in Pilton, right when visitors were due within the hour. He worked through it calmly, explained what had swollen, and left the lock better set than it was before he touched it.
The multipoint lock on our door had been sticking for weeks near Sticklepath. Whoever came out actually diagnosed the mechanism instead of just forcing it, then pointed out the early signs to look for so I can catch it sooner next time.
Needed new locks fitted after moving into a rental up near Rumsam. He turned up with the right kit for the door type already sorted, checked the back door as well as the front before he left, and explained what each lock actually does day to day.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Barnstaple? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Barnstaple sits where the Taw opens into its estuary, and the town still reads that way: the old Pannier Market and the long bridge anchor a centre of terraced streets climbing straight up from the water. We move between two kinds of housing here - tight Victorian terraces around Pilton and Sticklepath, doors set flush to the pavement, and hillside estates at Forches, Newport and Rumsam, where composite doors and multipoint locks are the norm. Fort Hill and Pottington sit close enough to feel part of the centre, while Bradiford marks where town gives way to lane, the last stretch before Exmoor takes over. Around Barnstaple, plan on a 15 to 30 minute wait. We would rather tell you 45 honestly than promise 20 and miss it. The labour charge is £39 and locks are priced from £25. Fitting comes inside the quoted lock price rather than as an extra line on the bill. Warranty cover lasts 12 months here and takes in parts and labour alike. Your locksmith arrives DBS-checked and insured, the same as every other locksmith we use.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Barnstaple and the wider EX postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Devon, Fort Hill, Pilton, Pottington, Sticklepath. From the city centre out to the edges of the EX31-EX32 range, engineers are positioned to respond inside the 15–30 minute window we promise.
Labour starts from £39, locks from £25, and every job comes with a 12-month parts-and-workmanship warranty — no call-out fee, no hidden extras.
Moved into a new property in Barnstaple? Worried the previous owner kept a spare key? Lock replacement is a sensible, affordable upgrade. Our engineers fit British Standard BS3621 mortice locks and insurance-approved anti-snap cylinders across the EX postcode area, suiting modern uPVC doors and older period properties alike.
If your existing lock is sticking, stiff, or starting to fail, a quick repair visit usually restores it without a full replacement — keeping costs down while keeping security intact.

uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Barnstaple engineers carry replacement gearboxes, handles, hinges, and cylinders for every major brand on every van — meaning most uPVC faults are diagnosed and repaired on the same call-out, with no second visit needed.
uPVC repairs start from £79, and emergency uPVC entries from £39, with the exact fixed price quoted before any work begins.
Every engineer is fully trained, DBS-checked, and insured. We don't subcontract — every van you see is on our team, on our payroll, and accountable to the same 12-month warranty. That's how we keep response times tight and quality consistent across Barnstaple and the surrounding Devon area.
