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 place looks straight out over the water and the front door lock had gone stiff and crusty with all the salt off the estuary. He stripped it right down, showed me how corroded the insides had got, and put in something built to stand up to it. Turns smooth again now.
Locked out of the flat in Dovercourt late on with the little one asleep inside. Got through on the phone, someone came round and opened it cleanly, no damage at all. Stayed calm about the whole thing, which is what I needed at that hour.
Back door on the uPVC had stopped locking, the handle just flopping up and down. The fault was in the mechanism buried in the leaf, not the barrel. He had the right part with him and sorted it in the one visit.

Harwich sits where the Stour and Orwell run out to sea, an old packet and mail port with the working quays at Parkeston still crossing to the Hook of Holland. We cover the tight Georgian and medieval lanes of Old Harwich, the bay-fronted Victorian terraces of Dovercourt and Upper Dovercourt, out through Bathside to the quieter roads around Ramsey. Doors here take a battering from the salt air off the estuary, and older locks near the seafront loosen or seize with the years. We handle lockouts and worn locking mechanisms across the town, day or night. A locksmith is typically with you in Harwich inside 15 to 30 minutes, and the time we give on the phone is the time we actually expect. Pricing is fixed at £39 for labour. Locks begin at £25, fitting included, and we confirm the total before starting. You get 12 months of cover on whatever we fit. That includes the part itself and the labour. Everyone we send holds a current DBS check and works under full insurance.
