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 out when the latch jammed on my front door near the Abbey. Rang, and someone came round and had me back in with no harm done to the frame. Polite and fast, no drama about any of it.
Our back door had grown harder to lock over months and finally seized one night. I'd kept putting it off. The chap who came stripped the mechanism, found what had failed and sorted it there. He explained the fix plainly, left it all tidy, and the door runs better than it has in ages. Real relief.
Needed the locks swapped the same day after a scare at the house. They fitted new ones to British Standard, made sure the window locks did their job too, and never pushed extras I didn't want. I felt settled again by the evening.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Sherborne? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Sherborne wears its Ham stone in the light, honey-gold walls running past the Abbey with its fan-vaulted ceiling and out east to Castleton, where the Norman ruin sits near Raleigh's newer castle. We turn out for locks right across the town. Marston and Newland lie close to the centre, so calls from there tend to land fast. Lenthay and Westbury on the south-west edge take a bit more road, and Coldharbour's streets we know well. A stuck night latch or a door that won't lock behind you, we come and put it right. Locked out in Sherborne, you are normally looking at 15 to 30 minutes. The time quoted over the phone is the genuine one. Count on £39 for the labour. A lock, if the job needs one, starts at £25 and its quoted price covers the fitting. Cover runs for 12 months with no distinction made between parts and labour. If either lets you down, it is on us. Insurance and DBS clearance are verified at hiring and kept current for as long as a locksmith works with us.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Sherborne and the wider DT postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Dorset, Lenthay, Marston, Castleton, Newland. From the city centre out to the edges of the DT9 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.

Our engineers fit British Standard BS3621 mortice locks and insurance-approved anti-snap cylinders across the DT 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.

uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Sherborne 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.
