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.
Moved into a rented place near Jocelyn Park and never quite trusted the lock the previous tenant left behind. Had it changed for something sturdier within the day, no fuss about it.
Cold snap left the back gate at our place out towards Tatworth stiff as anything, wouldn't budge. Turned out the frame had dropped slightly over winter, not just the lock itself, and it got sorted properly.
Ran a small shop on the old high street and lost access to the storeroom when a spare set of keys went missing. The engineer worked out the barrel was worn rather than blaming the keys, replaced it, and showed me how to spot the same wear next time before it locks me out again.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Chard? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Chard is the highest town in Somerset, a former lace-making place near the Devon border that still claims the world's first working flying machine, built here decades before America or France got off the ground. The old high street runs long and dead straight, lined with Georgian frontages that have barely moved in two hundred years. Round the edges, Jocelyn Park and Snowdon Grange give way to South Chard, Chaffcombe, Coombses, Combe St Nicholas and Tatworth, where farmland presses against newer estates and older stone cottages sit shoulder to shoulder with post-war housing. For Chard addresses the target is 15 to 30 minutes door to door. When we cannot hit it, we say so before you commit to anything. £39 covers the labour. Any lock we supply starts at £25, quoted with fitting included, so the number you hear is the number you pay. We warranty the parts for 12 months and the labour for the same 12 months, so a comeback costs you nothing. We do not send anyone out until their DBS check and insurance are both in place.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Chard and the wider TA postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Somerset, Jocelyn Park, Snowdon Grange, South Chard, Chaffcombe.

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.

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