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.
Came out to Debden Green on a Sunday evening when the back door lock had seized completely. Sorted it on the doorstep without drilling anything and showed me what had actually gone wrong with the mechanism first.
Our mortice lock on one of the older doors near Monkhams had been sticking for months and finally gave up one night. The locksmith worked through it calmly, explained why forest-edge damp does that to older hardware, and left the door working properly instead of just forcing it shut.
Needed help getting back in near Friday Hill after leaving keys inside during a house move. Quick and polite, didn't make me feel stupid about it, and checked the lock still worked properly before leaving.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Loughton? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Loughton splits into two builds depending which side of it you're on. Head towards Debden Green and the postwar estates run with lighter door hardware that's often overdue an upgrade. Closer to the forest itself, past Monkhams and Friday Hill, the roads turn to large 1930s and interwar detached houses with older mortice locks that stick in wet weather and multipoint mechanisms on newer replacement doors. We also work the forest-edge stretch through Woodford Wells and Chingford Green, and the quieter villages out past Theydon Bois and Sewardstonebury, right on the boundary with the forest. The usual wait in Loughton is 15 to 30 minutes. If it will be more, you are told when you ring, not after you have waited. The £39 labour charge stands on its own. Lock prices start at £25 and each one is quoted with its fitting included. A 12-month warranty comes as standard, and it covers parts as well as labour. DBS-checked and insured describes every locksmith we have, from the newest to the longest serving.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Loughton and the wider IG postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Essex, Debden Green, Sewardstonebury, Woodford Wells, Chingford. From the city centre out to the edges of the IG7-IG10 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.

Our engineers fit British Standard BS3621 mortice locks and insurance-approved anti-snap cylinders across the IG postcode area, suiting modern uPVC doors and older period properties alike.
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 doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Loughton engineers carry replacement gearboxes, handles, hinges, and cylinders for every major brand on every van — meaning most uPVC faults are diagnosed and repaired on the same call-out, with no second visit needed.
uPVC repairs start from £79, and emergency uPVC entries from £39, with the exact fixed price quoted before any work begins.
