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.
Gearbox in the back door packed up on a Sunday evening. He had the right part in the van, swapped it, and showed me the worn piece so I could see what had actually failed. Door locks smoother than it has in years, and the figure agreed before he started is exactly what went on the receipt.
After the house two doors down was burgled I had our locks checked over. The locksmith walked round with me, said the back door was the weakest point, and changed that cylinder there and then. He was patient with my questions and clear about what our insurance actually required.
Keys on the kitchen table, me on the wrong side of a locked flat door. I'd braced myself for a drilled lock and an awkward conversation with the letting agent, but he opened it clean and the lock still works exactly as it did. Genuinely relieved.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Dartford? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Dartford grew up where the old London road crossed the Darent, and it kept growing while the paper mills, cement works and engineering yards spread along the river toward the marshes. Most of that industry has gone. The housing it left behind is what our locksmiths work on every day: Victorian terraces off the town centre with their original mortice locks, the big fifties estate at Temple Hill built for the mill workforce, interwar semis running out toward Wilmington and Dartford Heath, and newer flats on the reclaimed riverside at Stone. Half the town swapped timber front doors for uPVC twenty or thirty years back, so a jammed multipoint strip is as likely a reason to call us as a lost key. We answer at three in the morning the same as at three in the afternoon. You speak to a locksmith rather than a call centre, and you get one fitted price before anyone moves: locks start at £25, labour at £39, and the figure quoted covers fitting the part as well as supplying it, with nothing added for the call-out. In the town itself an engineer is normally with you inside fifteen to thirty minutes; out at Darenth, Hawley or Bean it can be anywhere between twenty-five and forty-five minutes, longer when traffic backs up from the Dartford Crossing. Wherever the lock allows it we open doors without damage, and if drilling really is the only way in, we say so before touching the door, not after. Whoever we send has passed a DBS check and carries full insurance, and the work is backed for twelve months, parts and labour alike. If a break-in attempt or an insurance renewal means the locks need upgrading, we keep BS3621 deadlocks and TS007 three-star cylinders stocked on the van, so the upgrade happens without a second appointment.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Dartford and the wider DA postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Kent, Temple Hill, The Brent, Dartford Heath, Wilmington. From the city centre out to the edges of the DA1-DA18 range, engineers are positioned to respond inside the 15–30 minute window we promise.
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 Dartford? Worried the previous owner kept a spare key? Lock replacement is a sensible, affordable upgrade. Our engineers fit British Standard BS3621 mortice locks and insurance-approved anti-snap cylinders across the DA postcode area, suiting modern uPVC doors and older period properties alike.
If your existing lock is sticking, stiff, or starting to fail, a quick repair visit usually restores it without a full replacement — keeping costs down while keeping security intact.
Locked out of your home, office, or vehicle anywhere in Dartford? Our 24/7 emergency locksmith dispatch sends the nearest available engineer immediately. Most lockouts are resolved using non-destructive entry techniques, so your existing lock stays intact and your bill stays low.
Lost keys? Snapped key in the cylinder? Our team handles key extraction, replacement key cutting, and full rekeying on the same visit — anywhere across the DA postcode area.
uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Dartford 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.
