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.
Got back from a night shift and my key wouldn't turn the front door at all, something had seized inside. Rang and someone talked me through what to check before coming out, then sorted it on the doorstep without any fuss. Sensible bloke.
We'd just moved into a place near the Mount and wanted the locks changed before our first night. Booked for the next morning, turned up when they said, worked through both doors properly and pointed out which of the old ones were worth keeping. Felt like ours after that.
The back door lock jammed with us stuck outside in the cold, and nothing I did would shift the key. He worked it free, checked the whole thing over, and had me locked up again that evening. No drama, and straight about what it would cost.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Rayleigh? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Rayleigh grew up around its Norman motte, the earthworks on Rayleigh Mount still there above the town, and the old tower windmill that watches over the High Street. Most of what we let ourselves into these days is the housing that followed the railway: interwar semis and post-war estates spreading out through Sweyne Park, Wheatley, Trinity and Grange, with newer closes at Downhall and Wolsey Park on the western edge. The locks vary as much as the doors do, from tired rim latches on older frames to multipoint units on the newer builds. We work across the lot. The usual wait in Rayleigh is 15 to 30 minutes. If it will be more, you are told when you ring, not after you have waited. Pricing is fixed at £39 for labour. Locks begin at £25, fitting included, and we confirm the total before starting. Our warranty runs for 12 months and applies to the labour as much as the parts. Ask to see credentials if you like. Every locksmith here is DBS-checked and insured, and can show it.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Rayleigh and the wider SS postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Essex, Sweyne Park, Wheatley, Trinity, Grange. From the city centre out to the edges of the SS6 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.
Moved into a new property in Rayleigh? Worried the previous owner kept a spare key? Lock replacement is a sensible, affordable upgrade. Our engineers fit British Standard BS3621 mortice locks and insurance-approved anti-snap cylinders across the SS 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.

Lost keys? Snapped key in the cylinder? Our team handles key extraction, replacement key cutting, and full rekeying on the same visit — anywhere across the SS postcode area.
uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Rayleigh 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.
Every engineer is fully trained, DBS-checked, and insured. We don't subcontract — every van you see is on our team, on our payroll, and accountable to the same 12-month warranty. That's how we keep response times tight and quality consistent across Rayleigh and the surrounding Essex area.
