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 putting the bins down and the door swung shut behind me. Phoned expecting to wait half the night given the hour. He was parked outside Cornbank a good deal sooner than that and had me back inside within minutes. Proper relief on a cold night.
Key sheared off in the front door lock first thing and half of it stayed inside. He drilled it out and fitted a new barrel, then ran it through a good few times to be sure. Neat job, and he had me a lot calmer than I'd started.
Back door wouldn't throw the bolt at all, kept catching however I lifted the handle. Booked him for the morning and he sorted the alignment and swapped the worn mechanism. Locks up sweet now and he showed me what had gone wrong.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Penicuik? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Penicuik grew up around paper. The mills along the River North Esk ran for generations, and Valleyfield was the big works; a memorial there still marks the French prisoners held during the Napoleonic wars. The town sits below the Pentland Hills, with Roslin Glen and its wooded gorge close by. We cover the streets ringing the centre, from Mauricewood and Cuiken down through Cornbank and Strathesk, out to Eastfield and Kirkhill, and round by the old mill at Valleyfield. When someone's shut out or a lock has failed on them, that's our everyday work. Across Penicuik the arrival window is 15 to 30 minutes. If a job overruns and pushes yours back, we ring you rather than leave you wondering. We keep it to two figures. Labour is £39, and a lock from £25 arrives with its fitting cost already inside the quote. Our 12-month guarantee covers the whole job, meaning the parts and the labour that went into fitting them. Each of our locksmiths is DBS-checked, and each is insured for the work they do in your home.
