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.
Our insurer wanted a British Standard lock on the front before they would renew and I had no idea if ours counted. He checked it, told me straight it did not, and fitted one that does the same afternoon. No upsell, just the job done properly.
Every cold snap our front door stopped locking and we had been shoving it shut for two winters running. He adjusted the whole thing so the hooks line up again and now it locks with one finger. Should have called years ago instead of putting up with it.
Three window handles had seized and one had stopped locking entirely. He swapped the mechanisms rather than pushing new frames on me, matched the new handles to the rest so you would never know, and cleared up after himself. Proper job.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Harlow? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Most towns grow. Harlow was drawn. In 1947 Frederick Gibberd took a field and laid out neighbourhoods around greenways, each cluster given its own shops and greens so nobody had to cross the town for a pint of milk. That planning still shapes the locks we get called to. The Stow and Bush Fair were built as neighbourhood centres and still work that way, so a call to a flat above a parade there is a different job from the older cottages in Old Harlow, the pre-New-Town village that keeps its own core off to the side. The Lawn, finished in 1951, was the first residential tower block in Britain, and the low-rise estates that came after through the fifties and sixties fill Netteswell, Little Parndon, Passmores and Tye Green. The doors on those places have a family resemblance once you have opened a few hundred of them. Harlow earned the name sculpture town honestly, with a Rodin and a Henry Moore stood among the housing rather than behind museum rope, so you get used to giving directions by the piece on the corner rather than the door number. We take in The High in the centre and out to Hare Street on the same rounds. A lock that has stuck for years tends to give up its secret a minute or two after the cover plate comes off. A locksmith is typically with you in Harlow inside 15 to 30 minutes, and the time we give on the phone is the time we actually expect. When we say a lock costs £25, fitting is in that price. Labour on top is £39 and that is the whole bill. If a lock we fitted fails within 12 months, the replacement part and the labour to sort it cost you nothing. We background-check with DBS and we insure the work, so the person in your hallway is accountable twice over.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Harlow and the wider CM postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Essex, The High, Netteswell, Little Parndon, Tye Green. From the city centre out to the edges of the CM18-CM20 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.
