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.
My daughter's flat near Chafford Hundred station has a upvc multipoint door, and the handle jammed halfway through lifting one evening. The locksmith worked out the barrel had dropped inside the mechanism and had a fresh one in within minutes, no fuss.
My gran's bungalow on the Badgers Dene estate has an old rim lock that's stiff at the best of times, and one damp morning it wouldn't budge for her at all. A locksmith came out, eased the mechanism free and fitted a new keep so it stops sticking every winter.
Renting a terrace off the high street near South Stifford, and the front door key started catching every time it rained. Rather than force it, I rang round and got someone out from Grays who sorted a misaligned strike plate and left both sets of keys turning smoothly again.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Grays? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Grays grew up on the north bank of the Thames as a chalk-quarrying and dockside market town, and that riverside identity still shapes the streets our locksmiths cover. Around the old town centre, Little Thurrock and Badgers Dene keep their close-set terraces, while South Stifford and Stifford Clays sit further back from the water. Chafford Hundred rose from the old chalk pits with curving closes and modern estates, and West Thurrock stretches toward Lakeside under wide estuary skies. From Victorian latches near the station to multipoint doors on newer builds, the borough keeps our locksmiths busy. 15 to 30 minutes covers most jobs in Grays. If we are stretched, you hear a straight answer rather than a hopeful one. £25 is where lock prices begin, fitting included, and the labour alongside it is a flat £39. The work carries a 12-month warranty that covers the part and the labour to replace it. You are letting a stranger into your house, so we make sure that stranger is DBS-checked and insured before they ever get a job sheet.
