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.
Locked myself out on Bath Street after work, keys still on the kitchen side. Rang up and a chap was with me in about 20 minutes, had the front door open with no damage and didn't charge any extra for it being gone teatime. Really straightforward.
Back door on our house in Kirk Hallam stopped locking, you could lift the handle all you liked and nothing happened. Came the same afternoon, swapped the mechanism in half an hour and showed me the knackered gearbox. Cheaper than I expected too.
Somebody had a go at my mum's front door in Cotmanhay during the night and snapped the lock. Phoned first thing and he was round within the hour, made it safe and fitted anti-snap cylinders on both doors. Sorted the invoice for the insurance and never pushed anything she didn't need.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Ilkeston? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
24/7 emergency locksmith in Ilkeston, with a local engineer at your door in 15 to 30 minutes across the DE7 postcode. Locked out, key snapped in the lock, or a uPVC door that won't lock? We cover the whole town, from the terraces around the Market Place and Larklands out to Cotmanhay, Kirk Hallam, Hallam Fields and the estates over towards Shipley. Labour starts from £39, locks from £25, and there's no call-out fee whatever time you ring. We open doors without damage, change and repair locks, fix failed uPVC multipoint mechanisms, board up and secure properties after a break-in, get snapped keys out, and fit insurance-rated BS3621 mortice locks and 3-star anti-snap cylinders. All work comes with a 12-month warranty on parts and labour. The price stays the same day or night, weekend or bank holiday, and we tell you the cost before the engineer sets off. Ilkeston sits in the Erewash valley in Derbyshire, right on the Nottinghamshire border, so we also cover the villages close by, including West Hallam, Stanton-by-Dale, Mapperley and Trowell just over the county line. Most of what we get called to round here is the same few jobs: people locked out late on Bath Street, snapped cylinders on the older Cotmanhay terraces, and worn gearboxes on the back doors across Kirk Hallam and Hallam Fields. We deal with all of it, from the red-brick terraces up towards the Market Place and Larklands to the newer composite and uPVC doors out on the Shipley and Hallam Fields estates, so whether you've got a five-lever mortice, a euro cylinder or a multipoint locking strip, we'll have what we need on the van. If you've just bought a place around Cotmanhay or Stanton-by-Dale and want the locks changed before you settle in, we can do that on a planned visit rather than as an emergency call-out. Call Emergency Locksmith 24 and we'll talk you through what's wrong and what it costs before anyone heads over.
