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.
Our whole floor badged out at seven and the office door would not open manually either. A locksmith reached Moorgate within the hour and got the suite open without damaging the frame, which our building manager was relieved about.
Third week living in the Barbican and my flat door decided the key was not good enough anymore. Someone came out to the block, checked the lobby entry too since it was sticking, and had both doors working properly again.
Shutter on our unit near Aldgate jammed halfway down on a Saturday, which is about the worst possible time for a shop. The locksmith who turned up freed the mechanism, oiled the track, and pointed out the roller was bent before it seized completely.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in City Of London? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
The City of London runs on locks that guard paperwork more often than families. Within the Square Mile, the building stock is overwhelmingly commercial: modern high-rise offices around Bank and Moorgate, barristers' chambers behind Blackfriars, trading floors spilling toward Liverpool Street, and market stalls edging into Aldgate. The one real exception is the Barbican, whose brutalist towers and terrace blocks hold thousands of flats behind communal entrance doors, concierge lobbies and fire-rated flat doors that see heavier daily use than any garden gate ever would. Call-outs here follow that pattern. Near Bank and Moorgate, it tends to be suite doors on multi-tenant floors, riser cupboards shared between firms, and reception access systems that leave staff stuck outside when a badge reader stops cooperating. Around St Paul's and Farringdon, converted warehouse offices and legal chambers still carry older mortice locks on heavy timber doors, alongside the occasional shutter jammed fast on a market morning. Aldgate's edge-of-City stretch blends small retail units with flats above shops, so the same visit might mean a shopfront cylinder one hour and a communal block door the next. Blackfriars adds riverside office blocks where card readers and mechanical locks sit side by side and occasionally disagree. Inside the Barbican estate, it is almost always a flat door, a shared lobby, or one of the raised walkways linking the blocks, where a resident's key has finally given up in a lock that has outlasted several refurbishments. Commerce sets the rhythm here, with one dense residential pocket holding its own against it. From your call to a knock at the door is normally 15 to 30 minutes in City Of London, and any delay gets flagged while you are still on the phone. 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. The person who fits your lock is insured for the job and has been through a DBS check.
