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.
Frost had got into the front door lock overnight and it wouldn't turn at all, stuck solid, and I had work to get to. He came up, freed it off and cleaned out the mechanism, then showed me how to keep it from seizing again when the cold sets in. Turning sweet now.
Handle on the back door had gone floppy and the door wouldn't lock properly. Sorted the gearbox inside it and had it working again on the same visit. Tidy job and no mess left behind.
Got back from a few days away to find the door lock had jammed and none of us could get in. Rang round and this was the only outfit that would turn out that evening without a fuss. Got us inside, worked out the barrel had failed, and fitted a new one there and then. Fair price and no drama.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Consett? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Consett made steel until 1980, and older hands still talk about the red dust that settled on everything up here on the moor edge above the Derwent. We work the steelworkers' terraces in Blackhill and Templetown, the newer estates at Bridgehill and Delves Lane, and out toward Leadgate and Benfieldside. Shotley Bridge, down by the old spa and hospital, is on our regular round. The Coast to Coast route runs through on the old trackbed, so we know the back lanes as well as the main streets. Doors here take a beating from the wind off the tops, and locks stiffen with it. For Consett addresses the target is 15 to 30 minutes door to door. When we cannot hit it, we say so before you commit to anything. Pricing is fixed at £39 for labour. Locks begin at £25, fitting included, and we confirm the total before starting. The cover lasts 12 months, full stop, and it wraps in both the parts and the labour. Everyone we send holds a current DBS check and works under full insurance.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Consett and the wider DH postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as County Durham, Templetown, Bridgehill, Leadgate, Delves Lane.

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