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.
Shut myself out of the flat in Cliftonville after putting the recycling out, keys on the worktop as always. Rang and a lad was there in about 19 minutes, popped the door open with no damage and didn't try to flog me a new lock. Quick, friendly, fair money.
uPVC back door in Westbrook had seized solid with the salt air and wouldn't turn. He had a new cylinder on the van, swapped it in about 40 minutes and greased the lot up so it works smooth again. Charged exactly what he said on the phone.
Took on a flat in a converted house near the Old Town and had no idea how many old keys were knocking about, so wanted everything changed. They came the same day, did the front door and my own door, fitted decent anti-snap cylinders and cut me spares. Talked me through it all and the price was sensible. Felt much safer after.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Margate? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Locked out in Margate, or got home to a door that won't lock? We run a 24/7 emergency locksmith service across the CT9 area and keep engineers near the Old Town and the harbour, so most calls in Cliftonville, Westbrook and around the seafront get a van there in 15 to 30 minutes. There is no call-out fee. Labour starts at £39 and locks start at £25, and you always get the price before any work begins. Most of what we deal with is the everyday stuff: people shut out after stepping outside for a moment, keys snapped in a worn barrel, and uPVC doors that have stopped locking. The sea air around Cliftonville and Palm Bay is rough on locks and the salt seizes cylinders faster than people expect, so we replace a fair few corroded barrels along here. When the multi-point gearbox fails or the cylinder snaps the door either jams shut or won't lock, and we carry replacement gearboxes and anti-snap cylinders on the van so most are sorted inside the hour and the door reset so it shuts cleanly. We also change locks for new tenants, the many flat conversions in Cliftonville and after a relationship ends, fit BS3621 mortice locks and TS007 anti-snap cylinders that keep home insurance valid, and we make properties secure after a break-in. If you have had a burglary in Garlinge or anywhere across CT9 we attend the same day, board up where needed and leave a written invoice for the insurer. All our work comes with a 12-month warranty on parts and labour, and we fit branded locks we have used for years. We cover Westgate-on-Sea, Birchington, Northdown and Dane Valley as well as central Margate. One local number, a real locksmith who turns up, and honest advice on whether you actually need a new lock or just the door putting right.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Margate and the wider CT postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Kent, Cliftonville, Westbrook, Garlinge, Westgate-on-Sea. From the city centre out to the edges of the CT9 range, engineers are positioned to respond inside the 15–30 minute window we promise.
