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 mother is eighty and the deadlock jammed while she was inside, so she could not get out and I could not get in. The chap kept me calm on the phone, freed her out, then swapped the jammed deadlock for a new one, and took the time to show her how the new key worked. Really kind with her.
Upstairs, a window handle had locked itself solid and refused to turn in either direction. He freed it, replaced the mechanism behind it and left the handle working smoothly again. No fuss, and he tidied up after himself before he left.
Someone had a go at our patio door overnight and buckled the handle. I rang first thing and had a proper fix by lunchtime, a new mechanism and a stronger handle put on. He explained what had failed and why the replacement holds up better.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Rochester? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Rochester held city status for centuries, then lost it to a clerical slip. When the unitary council formed in 1998, nobody appointed the charter trustees who carry that ancient title forward, so it quietly lapsed. The loss only came to light in 2002. The cathedral is still there, founded in 604 and second in age only to Canterbury, and the Norman keep beside it is among the tallest left in England. Dickens lived out at Gads Hill and wrote these streets into his last novels, and the festivals in his name still fill the High Street each year.We work the old core and the newer edges alike. Troy Town and the High Street run to Georgian fronts and Victorian terraces, and the locks there are as mixed as the doors. The Delce climbs the hill just behind. City Way and Warren Wood came later, twentieth-century suburbs full of uPVC doors and multipoint mechanisms. Borstal lies downstream, quieter, its name older than the institution it lent the word to. Horsted marks the shared edge running toward Chatham, and Frindsbury sits over on the far bank of the Medway. Rochester Riverside is the new quarter going up between the railway line and the water, and we cover those flats as they fill.Wherever the call comes from, we turn up and get on with it. Response in Rochester runs at 15 to 30 minutes on a normal day. On an abnormal one, you will know, because we tell you when you call. £39 labour and locks from £25 is the standard pricing here, and a quoted lock price always covers the fitting as well. The lock and the work that went into fitting it are both guaranteed for 12 months. Each of our locksmiths is DBS-checked, and each is insured for the work they do in your home.
