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

Front door lock seized on me down in the Valley on a Sunday and not one key would shift it. Called around half nine and got a straight answer on the spot. He freed the lock without taking the whole door apart and left it running sweeter than it had in an age.

Rowan O

New to Caterham-on-the-Hill and wanted every lock swapped before we properly settled in. He walked through what was worth keeping and what to replace, fitted solid BS3621 locks, and never once rushed the job. Tidy work and no pushing extras I didn't need.

Elsie V

Locked out at Westway late after the last train, freezing and not thinking straight. Rang expecting a long wait given how far up we are, but someone reached me sooner than that. He opened the door calmly and made sure the latch caught properly before heading off. Glad I wasn't out there long.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Caterham?
Our emergency locksmith Caterham service aims to have a local engineer at your door within 15–30 minutes of your call. We have teams based throughout the CR postcode area, so you won't be waiting long wherever you are in the city or surrounding Surrey area.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No — Emergency Locksmith 24 charges no call-out fee. You only pay for the work carried out. We'll give you a clear, fixed price before we start and won't proceed without your agreement.
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 Caterham?
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.
Do you cover the whole of Caterham and nearby areas?
Yes. Our local locksmith near me service covers all CR postcodes — from Caterham city centre right out to surrounding areas including Surrey, Caterham Valley, Caterham-on-the-Hill, Chaldon, Harestone. If you're in the CR postcode area, we can reach you.
Are your locksmiths qualified and insured?
Absolutely. Every Emergency Locksmith 24 engineer is fully trained, DBS-checked, and carries public liability insurance. We only fit locks from established, trusted manufacturers — British Standard-approved wherever possible — and back all our work with a 12-month parts and labour warranty.
What happens if you're busy, do I just wait around all evening?
In the Valley, up on the Hill, or around Portley and Queen's Park, you are rarely far from us. Chaldon, Harestone and Westway sit higher up the slopes, so allow a shade more time. Friday nights and the school run stretch things either way. Ask when you call and you will get the real number, not a hopeful one.
The handle on my uPVC door just flops up and down and won't lock. What's broken?
That is the multipoint case in the leaf wearing out. It is geared to throw the hooks and rollers as the handle rises, and once the teeth wear it slips instead of driving them. We carry the patterns that suit most doors and fit a fresh unit, leaving the rest of the door untouched.
After an attempted break-in, is it worth replacing every lock in the house?
We secure the opening so you can lock up the same night, then look properly at the damage. Cylinders that snapped go for anti-snap types to TS007, keeps and strikers that tore loose are renewed, and any split in the frame is made good enough to keep the door tight.
I'm halfway between Caterham and the next town over. Who do I call, you or someone else?
We cover Caterham itself and the streets that fold into it. Whyteleafe and Warlingham are their own villages next door; Coulsdon and Purley sit over the London line; Oxted and Godstone are separate towns further out. We still reach every one of them, so tell us the town when you call and we'll weigh the distance in honestly.

Professional Locksmith Services Across Caterham & Surrey

Caterham splits in two on the North Downs. Caterham Valley sits in the dip with the station and the shops; Caterham-on-the-Hill holds the plateau above. The old Caterham Barracks up on the Hill drilled Guards for more than a century before the site turned to housing. Chalk downs and beech woods climb the edges of both halves. We work the residential streets right across town, from Portley, Harestone and Queen's Park out to Westway on the hilltop and Chaldon, the downland village to the west. Whichever half of Caterham has locked you out, someone here already knows the roads. Our Caterham response time sits between 15 and 30 minutes. Busy nights can stretch it, in which case the person on the phone tells you exactly how long. Pricing is fixed at £39 for labour. Locks begin at £25, fitting included, and we confirm the total before starting. Every lock we fit is covered for 12 months, parts and labour both. Each of our locksmiths is DBS-checked, and each is insured for the work they do in your home.

Lock Replacement & Repair in Caterham

Moved into a new property in Caterham? Worried the previous owner kept a spare key? Lock replacement is a sensible, affordable upgrade.

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.

Lost keys? Snapped key in the cylinder? Our team handles key extraction, replacement key cutting, and full rekeying on the same visit — anywhere across the CR postcode area.

uPVC Door Specialists in Caterham

uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Caterham 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.
