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 on the Digmoor estate stopped locking and it turned out a hook had snapped clean off inside the mechanism. He showed me the broken piece once it was out. New multipoint fitted, door back to normal, and he pointed out the worn part so I'd recognise it if it started again.
Had a lad try the back door while we were out. The frame was knocked about and the lock wouldn't sit right after. He eased the timber back true and put a decent cylinder on, sorted the strike plate too. House felt right again that evening.
My elderly mum in Tanhouse couldn't work her front door, the handle had gone floppy and wouldn't throw the bolts. Rang in the evening. He came out, sorted the mechanism, and took time to show her how it worked so she wasn't nervous using it. Kind with her, which mattered to us.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Skelmersdale? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Skelmersdale went up fast. Designated a Lancashire New Town in 1961 to take Liverpool overspill, it got laid out as a ring of roundabouts with the Concourse dropped in the middle, and most of it built over old coal land. The system-built estates from that era are what we work most. Tanhouse, Digmoor and Little Digmoor sit close to the centre, and Tawd Bridge is only a short run out. Elmer's Green, Foster's Green and Ashurst take a bit longer to reach. Old Skelmersdale keeps a smaller core of housing that predates the New Town. Doors and locks across all of it, day or night. Our Skelmersdale response time sits between 15 and 30 minutes. Busy nights can stretch it, in which case the person on the phone tells you exactly how long. Our labour rate is £39. Replacement locks begin at £25 and every lock quote already has the fitting in it. The lock and the work that went into fitting it are both guaranteed for 12 months. No locksmith joins us without a DBS check, and none works without insurance.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Skelmersdale and the wider WN postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Lancashire, Tanhouse, Digmoor, Little Digmoor, Elmer's Green.
