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.
My little boy shut himself in the bathroom and the latch jammed solid. I was starting to panic. The chap talked me through keeping him calm on the phone, then eased the latch and freed him without touching the paintwork. Cannot thank him enough.
Ground-floor window wouldn't lock at all, the handle just spun round. I didn't feel safe leaving the house like that. He swapped the mechanism that afternoon and cast an eye over the other window locks too. Tidy job, no fuss.
After a break-in a few doors down I asked him to look over our front and back doors. He was straight with me, said the back one wanted a better cylinder but the front was fine as it stood. Fitted the new lock quickly and never pushed anything extra on me.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Pontefract? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Pontefract still trades on liquorice and a castle. Richard II is said to have died inside the castle walls, and for centuries the plant grew in the fields around town, sweetening the Pontefract cakes still pressed here. A Liquorice Festival marks it. Old spellings like Pomfret turn up near the market place, where the racecourse and market keep the old centre busy. The two railway stations at Monkhill and Tanshelf take their names from the streets around them. Beyond that Georgian and Victorian core the estates spread out. Chequerfield and Marl Pits went up over old pit ground as coal expanded, sitting next to the closer-in quarters of New Town and Eastbourne. Lady Balk is a short run from the market, and Carleton holds the southern edge. The locks we get called to reflect that mix. A stone terrace near the castle wears its keys differently from a rendered house on Chequerfield. We work on front doors that have swollen through a wet winter and back doors on the newer estates where the mechanism inside has given up. Now and then it is a padlock on an outbuilding out toward Carleton. Most jobs are the same small set of problems in different doors: a key that no longer turns, or a handle that lifts but never locks. Whatever the address, the point is getting you back inside with the door shutting properly again. Somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes is typical for Pontefract. If the honest answer that evening is longer, that is the answer you get. A replacement lock starts at £25 with fitting built into the quote, and labour is a flat £39. We warranty the parts for 12 months and the labour for the same 12 months, so a comeback costs you nothing. We background-check with DBS and we insure the work, so the person in your hallway is accountable twice over.
