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.
Our front door faces the harbour and the salt had got into the lock over the years. It had gone stiff and gritty and I didn't trust it. The chap who came out knew straight away what the sea air does to these, fitted a lock that holds up better, and talked me through keeping it running in the damp.
Locked myself out at my mam's in Deneside on a Sunday night. I expected to be waiting hours for anyone to bother. Got through, someone came out, opened it without wrecking the door and I was back in. Proper relief.
Back door on our place in Dawdon stopped locking properly, the handle just flopped up and nothing gripped. Booked him in, he sorted the mechanism inside the door and it's solid again. Tidy job, no mess, explained what had worn out. Would have him back.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Seaham? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Seaham's harbour was cut into the coast by the Londonderry family to ship County Durham coal, and the town grew up around it in rows of pit terraces. We cover the old Colliery core and Dawdon, where a lot of the Victorian and Edwardian doors are still in daily use, along with Deneside and Parkside. The Tommy stands watch on the seafront, and the beaches still give up the sea-worn treasures Seaham is known for. Out at Northlea, Eastlea, Westlea and Dalton Heights the housing turns to 1930s-to-60s estates, and the locks that came with them wear differently. We reach most of Seaham in 15 to 30 minutes and we quote the real figure on the call, even when it is a slow evening. We charge £39 labour. If a new lock is needed it starts at £25, and that quoted price covers fitting too. A 12-month warranty comes as standard, and it covers parts as well as labour. Being DBS-checked and insured is the entry requirement at this firm, not a selling point we bolt on afterwards.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Seaham and the wider SR postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as County Durham, Dawdon, Deneside, Parkside, Northlea. From the city centre out to the edges of the SR7 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 Seaham? 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 SR 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.
Locked out of your home, office, or vehicle anywhere in Seaham? Our 24/7 emergency locksmith dispatch sends the nearest available engineer immediately. Most lockouts are resolved using non-destructive entry techniques, so your existing lock stays intact and your bill stays low.
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 SR postcode area.
uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Seaham 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 Seaham and the surrounding County Durham area.
