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.
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.
Pulled the front door of my flat near the Cross shut with the keys still hanging on the hook inside. Rang them and a chap arrived in about twenty minutes, opened it with no damage and cut me a spare so I wouldn't be caught out again. Polite and quick.
The back door on our house in Summersdale had been getting stiff for weeks and then refused to lock altogether. They were out the same day, swapped the gearbox in half an hour and showed me what had worn. A good bit cheaper than the quote I'd had from a glazing firm.
Someone had tried the front door on my parents' place in Fishbourne overnight and split the lock. I called early and he was there within the hour, made it safe and fitted anti-snap cylinders front and back. Did the paperwork for the insurance and didn't try to flog us anything we didn't need.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Chichester? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
24/7 emergency locksmith in Chichester, with a local engineer at your door in 15 to 30 minutes across the PO18, PO19 and PO20 postcodes. Locked out, snapped a key in the barrel, or got a uPVC door that's stopped locking? We cover the whole city and the villages round it, from the streets inside the old walls and Whyke out through Summersdale and Parklands to Fishbourne, Donnington and Tangmere. Labour starts from £39, locks from £25, and there's no call-out fee whatever the hour. We pick locks open without damage, change and repair locks, sort failed uPVC multipoint mechanisms, board up and make a property safe after a break-in, get snapped keys out of barrels, and fit insurance-rated BS3621 mortice locks and 3-star anti-snap cylinders. All parts and labour come with a 12-month warranty. The price stays the same day or night, weekend or bank holiday, and we tell you the cost before the engineer leaves. Chichester is the county town of West Sussex, with the PO postcode running out across the harbour villages and the plain towards the South Downs, so we're usually only a short drive away whether you're near the Cross and the cathedral, up in Summersdale, or out at Fishbourne and Westhampnett. The call-outs round here keep to a few patterns. People lock themselves out of the flats and cottages near the centre, euro cylinders snap on the older Whyke and Parklands doors, and the back-door gearboxes give out on the PO19 and PO20 estates once they've been in a good number of years. If you've just moved into a place around Summersdale or Donnington and want the locks changed so you know who holds a key, we can book that as a planned visit rather than an emergency, which works out cheaper. Call Emergency Locksmith 24 and we'll tell you what's likely wrong and what it'll cost before anyone heads over.
