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 front door in the Old Town had swelled and stopped locking properly, the bolt just would not go home. He adjusted the keep and eased the frame and it shuts sweetly now. Took the time to explain why the damp had done it so I know what to watch for. Straightforward and tidy work.
I let a flat in St Leonards and needed the locks changed before new tenants moved in. Called in the morning, sorted by early afternoon, and he left me two sets of keys labelled up. No fuss about it being a small job.
Lost the only set of keys to our place in Clive Vale. He came out the same evening, changed both locks and cut us enough keys for the whole household. Calm and quick about it, which I needed by that point.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Hastings? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Twitten is a Sussex word you will not hear anywhere else, and the Old Town is threaded with them: narrow alleys running between fishermen's huts and timber-framed houses, with Georgian brick fronts further up the slope. We spend a lot of our time down there. The doors are old, the frames have moved with the years, and a lock that worked fine last winter can bind up when the wood swells. Above the Old Town, the castle sits on West Hill, and the streets climbing behind it were laid out for people, not for wide access, so we walk the last stretch with the tools more often than not. The rest of the town spreads out over the hills. Clive Vale and Ore hold rows of Victorian terraces, most of them with mortice locks on solid timber doors. Bohemia and Silverhill are a mix of older houses and later infill. St Leonards-on-Sea, part of the borough for well over a century, keeps its planned Regency terraces along the front, and those tall doors bring their own quirks. Hollington, up on the western edge, is mostly mid-century housing where multipoint mechanisms and cylinders are the usual job. Different stock, different locks, same call: someone shut out, or a door that will not throw its bolt. We carry the parts for all of it and fit what the door actually takes, not what is quickest. Expect us in 15 to 30 minutes across Hastings. On the rare day that slips, the person answering tells you an honest time instead. Fitting never appears as a separate charge. It lives inside the lock price, which starts at £25, on top of the £39 for labour. Our 12-month guarantee covers the whole job, meaning the parts and the labour that went into fitting them. We vet properly. A DBS check and current insurance are required before a locksmith takes a single call for us.
