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.
Slammed the door behind me in Holland-on-Sea with the keys indoors while I put the bins out. Phoned and a chap came in about 20 minutes, had the door open with no damage and was honest that the lock didn't need changing. Quick and fair, lovely fella.
uPVC front door near the seafront had seized up with the salt and wouldn't lock at all. He had a replacement cylinder on the van, swapped it over in about 40 minutes and gave the mechanism a clean and grease. Charged what he quoted, no daft markup for a weekend.
Took over a holiday let in Great Clacton and wanted all the locks changed before the season started as too many old keys were floating about. They came out the same day, did three doors, fitted proper anti-snap cylinders and a mortice and cut me a full set of spares. Sensible price and explained everything as they went.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Clacton-on-Sea? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Locked out in Clacton-on-Sea, or got home to a door that won't lock? We run a 24/7 emergency locksmith service across the CO15 and CO16 postcodes and keep engineers near the seafront and the town centre, so most calls in Great Clacton, Holland-on-Sea and around the pier get a van there in 15 to 30 minutes. There is no call-out fee. Labour starts at £39 and locks start at £25, and you hear the price before any work starts. Most of what we get called to is the everyday stuff: people shut out after popping to the front, keys snapped in a tired barrel, and uPVC doors that have given up locking. Sea air around Holland-on-Sea and Jaywick is hard on locks and the salt seizes mechanisms quicker than you would think, so we change a lot of corroded cylinders along here. When the multi-point gearbox fails or the cylinder snaps the door either jams shut or won't lock at all, and we carry replacement gearboxes and anti-snap cylinders on the van so most are fixed inside the hour. We also change locks for new tenants, holiday lets and after a relationship ends, fit BS3621 mortice locks and TS007 anti-snap cylinders that keep home insurance valid, and we make properties secure after a break-in. If you have been burgled in Great Clacton or anywhere across CO15 to CO16 we attend the same day, board up where needed and leave a written invoice for the insurer. Every job carries a 12-month warranty on parts and labour, and we fit branded locks we trust rather than the cheapest option. We cover Little Clacton, St Osyth, Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze as well as the town itself. One local number, a proper locksmith who turns up, and straight advice on whether you need a new lock or just the door sorting.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Clacton-on-Sea and the wider CO postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Essex, Holland-on-Sea, Jaywick, Great Clacton, St Osyth.

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

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