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.
Had a changeover between tenants and needed the whole house rekeyed before the new couple arrived. He worked through the front and back and left me a clean set of keys, with none of the old ones opening anything. Booked it in easily and no fuss on the day.
Our back door had stopped pulling up to lock, and with the kids in the house overnight that was not going to wait. He took the mechanism out of the door, showed me exactly where it had worn, and fitted a replacement that lines up properly. Talked me through the whole thing without ever rushing me.
Lost my keys somewhere in town and did not fancy leaving the door on the old lock. Rang mid afternoon, he came out, swapped the cylinder and had fresh keys cut for me on the spot. Calm about it and fair on the bill.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Hertford? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Hertford is the county town nobody rushes through. Edward the Elder walled it as a burgh in 912, and the castle gatehouse still sits by the Lea where the Navigation was cut for London's corn trade. The doors here carry that long history. Fifteenth-century timber frames still lean over the oldest streets. Near the Shire Hall the Georgian townhouses take over. Bengeo, only brought into the town in 1892, holds a Norman church that predates the lot. Working on locks here means moving between all of it in a single week.Folly Island is its own knot of Victorian terraces on the ground between the river channels, and the doors there rarely match anything modern. Horn's Mill and Foxholes bring newer fittings, multipoint strips and euro cylinders that fail in their own way. Sele Farm is the postwar estate, steady patterns you come to know. Pinehurst runs a bit further out. Past the edge of town the villages of Hertingfordbury and Hertford Heath sit in the fields, close enough that a call there is no different from one in the middle of Hertford.An old town does not mean old locks everywhere. A Georgian frontage often hides a cylinder fitted last year, and a new door backs onto a lane that has carried keys for centuries. You learn to read the door before you touch it. A locksmith is typically with you in Hertford inside 15 to 30 minutes, and the time we give on the phone is the time we actually expect. You will be quoted £39 labour plus a lock from £25 if one is needed, and that lock price has the fitting inside it. Any fault in the first 12 months gets fixed at no charge, whether it lies in the part or in the labour. Before anyone works under our name they pass a DBS check and are put on the firm's insurance.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Hertford and the wider SG postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Hertfordshire, Folly Island, Horn's Mill, Bengeo, Foxholes.
