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 Victorian conversion in Battersea had a communal front door that barely latched. The locksmith swapped the cylinder and adjusted the striker plate in under half an hour, no drama, no upsell. Every flat in the block can finally shut the door properly now.
Renting near Tooting Broadway, the landlord's ancient mortice lock finally packed in on a Tuesday morning right as I was heading out. A locksmith arrived, fitted a new five-lever mortice that matched the old keep, and oiled the hinges before leaving.
The side gate at our place near Wimbledon Common had a padlock rusted shut for ages. Someone came out, cut it off cleanly without damaging the gate, and fitted a weatherproof replacement plus a spare key cut on the spot.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Southwest London? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Southwest London runs in a broad arc from the river at Battersea and Putney down through Clapham, Wandsworth, Balham and Tooting to Streatham and out to Wimbledon, covering about as much variety of housing as any postcode in the capital. Battersea's warehouse conversions and mansion blocks sit close to the park, while Clapham's grand stucco terraces ring the Common and give way to smaller Victorian streets around Wandsworth. Putney keeps its own character along the towpath, rows of red-brick villas facing the river with side-return extensions and the odd converted boathouse flat. Cross into Balham and Tooting and the housing turns to long streets of two-up two-down terraces, many split into flats decades ago, their timber sash windows and old rim locks still doing the job the builders intended. Streatham's high road runs past Georgian survivors and 1930s parades, with flats above shops needing communal door hardware kept in working order. Wimbledon rounds the sector off with its village lanes and common-edge houses, gated mews and solid front doors that come with older money. Across all of it, the calls tend to be the same handful of jobs: a euro cylinder worn past its best in a communal block, a multipoint mechanism on a newer development that's stopped lifting the hooks properly, a snapped key left in a rented terrace, or a UPVC door dropped on its hinges after years of use. Wrought iron gates on the Wandsworth side and Wimbledon's period ironmongery bring their own quirks. It's a sector built on commons, long high streets and the gap between old timber joinery and modern composite doors. Ring from Southwest London and the answer is usually 15 to 30 minutes. If traffic or a running job pushes that out, you get the true estimate up front. When we say a lock costs £25, fitting is in that price. Labour on top is £39 and that is the whole bill. There is a 12-month warranty on the job, and it does not split hairs between parts and labour. Both are in. The locksmith engineers we send out are insured and DBS-checked, which matters when the job is the lock on your front door.
