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 stopped locking an hour before we were due at the Sports Village for the rugby. The mechanism inside the door had stripped, which he showed me on the old unit after swapping it. Door locks with two fingers now and we still made kick-off.
Our chippy on the Westleigh side lost track of a set of keys when a lad quit mid-week. Rang mid-afternoon; by closing, front and back doors were on new cylinders opening from one key. He left the old parts with me and the invoice matched what was said on the phone.
My father is 86 and his door in Higher Folds needed a proper shove before the key would turn, which he hasn't the strength for. The locksmith reset the hinges, adjusted the keeps, then waited while Dad locked up himself a few times. Patient, tidy, cheaper than I expected.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Leigh? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Leigh is the largest town in the North West without a railway station. The last train left in 1969, so everything here arrives by road, and that includes us: the guided busway carries commuters into Manchester, everyone else drives, and our van works the town day and night with the whole workshop in the back. Because a locksmith is already moving, we can honestly say 15 to 30 minutes to most addresses in town from the moment you ring, whether that is a colliers' terrace off Firs Lane or a new build beside the marina at Plank Lane. The housing usually tells us what we will find before we knock. The terraces through Westleigh and along the Plank Lane side still carry timber doors and mortice locks, some of them decades old. The postwar streets of Higher Folds and the corners around Hope Carr and Landside are mostly uPVC with multipoint strips. The estates going up on former colliery land near the marina come with composite doors and anti-snap cylinders that must be matched like for like when they fail. Bedford, on the east side of Leigh, mixes all three within a few streets, and Pennington covers most of the centre and south. Wherever you are, the same rules hold. We work at the lock with picks and tension tools first and reach for a drill only when a cylinder is genuinely dead. There is no call-out charge. A replacement lock starts at £25, labour from £39, and when we supply the lock the price you agree covers fitting it as well, so there is nothing extra at the door. Nobody joins our rota without a clean DBS check and insurance behind them, and each job is guaranteed for twelve months after we leave, on the part and on the work. From Pennington Flash up past Leigh Spinners Mill to where the two canals meet in the middle of town, we cover all of it, around the clock.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Leigh and the wider WN postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Greater Manchester, Pennington, Westleigh, Bedford, Higher Folds. From the city centre out to the edges of the WN7 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.

If your existing lock is sticking, stiff, or starting to fail, a quick repair visit usually restores it without a full replacement — keeping costs down while keeping security intact.

uPVC repairs start from £79, and emergency uPVC entries from £39, with the exact fixed price quoted before any work begins.
