Reviews
I recently used the services of the Emergency Locksmith 24 and I must say, I was highly impressed.

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.
Got back from a late one and my key snapped clean off in the front door of my flat in Bensham. Rang them about midnight and a lad was round in twenty minutes, picked the broken bit out and had a new cylinder fitted before I'd properly woken up. No drama.
Our back door in Low Fell stopped locking. You could lift the handle all you wanted and nothing happened. They came out the same day, changed the mechanism in about half an hour and showed me the worn part. Way less than the window company wanted just to come and look.
Someone had a go at my mam's front door on a terrace in Felling during the night and cracked the lock. Phoned first thing and he was over within the hour, made it safe and put anti-snap cylinders on front and back. Sorted the invoice for the insurance and didn't push anything we didn't need.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Gateshead? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
24/7 emergency locksmith in Gateshead, with a local engineer on your doorstep in 15 to 30 minutes right across the NE8, NE9, NE10 and NE11 postcodes. Locked out, snapped a key in the barrel, or got a uPVC door that's stopped locking? We cover the whole town, from the flats and terraces around the town centre and Bensham through Low Fell and Felling to the estates out by Dunston and the MetroCentre. Labour starts from £39, locks from £25, and there's no call-out fee whatever time you ring. We pick locks open without damage, change and repair locks, sort failed uPVC multipoint mechanisms, board up and make properties 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 carry a 12-month warranty. The price is the same day or night, weekend or bank holiday, and we tell you the cost before the engineer sets off. Gateshead sits across the Tyne from Newcastle and shares the NE postcode, so we're usually only a few minutes away whether you're near the Sage and the Quayside, up at Low Fell, or over by the MetroCentre at Dunston. Most of the call-outs round here come down to the same few jobs. Tenants get locked out of the Bensham flats, euro cylinders snap on the Felling terraces, and the back-door gearboxes wear out on the Low Fell and Wrekenton estates after a good few years. If you've just moved into a place around Saltwell or Sheriff Hill and want the locks changed for peace of mind, we can do that on a planned visit rather than an emergency call-out, so you're not paying night rates for a job that can wait till morning. Call Emergency Locksmith 24 and we'll tell you what's likely wrong and what it'll cost before anyone heads over.
