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.
Changed the locks on a flat between tenants for me at short notice. He went through the difference between the barrels before fitting, handed the new keys over sorted into sets, and kept the paperwork side simple. I will have him back for the next changeover without thinking twice.
My father is not steady on his feet and his back door had seized, so he could not get out to the yard. The chap who came was patient with him, freed the mechanism and eased it so it works without a fight now. He was kind about the whole thing, which mattered more to me than I had expected.
Booked him to put a stronger lock on the side gate and a second one on the shed after next door had a break-in. Tidy work, everything lines up square, and he ran me through how the new keys worked before he packed up.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Bishop Auckland? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Auckland Castle was the country seat of the Prince Bishops of Durham for the best part of nine centuries, and the town grew up around it. Then came coal. Around sixty collieries once worked this ground, and the terraced rows that still make up close to half the housing went up for the pit families. When the Category D villages were cleared, many of those families moved onto the Woodhouse Close estate, which is why it sits where it does and looks the way it does. We work the old stock and the newer estates in equal measure, and the two ask for different things.A Victorian terrace in Cockton Hill or South Church usually has a mortice lock in a solid timber door, worn but worth saving. The later builds around Henknowle and Etherley Dene run to uPVC and composite doors with multipoint mechanisms, and they fail in their own way. Toronto is a proper village out past the edge of town, named after the Canadian city, and Escomb keeps one of the most complete Saxon churches left in Europe. St Helen Auckland only merged into the town back in the thirties and reads as part of it now. We cover those and everywhere between them.Kynren has pulled crowds to the night pageant since 2016, and the wider regeneration has changed how the place carries itself. None of that helps when a lock jams at eleven at night. That is the call we come out for, whatever the door and whoever fitted it. Within Bishop Auckland you can expect someone in 15 to 30 minutes. We give the honest figure at booking, whether it flatters us or not. Whatever lock we quote, the fitting is part of that price. Locks start at £25 and labour is £39 on top. Our warranty runs for 12 months and applies to the labour as much as the parts. All our locksmiths are DBS-checked. All of them are insured. Neither is optional.
