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.
I manage a holiday flat on Babbacombe Downs Road and the key snapped in the door mid changeover, with guests due at four. Rang in a bit of a panic, he was up from town inside half an hour, got the broken piece out and the lock still works fine. Booking saved.
Woke up to find our back door in Chelston standing open even though I'd locked it the night before. The mechanism inside had given up, apparently. He came out that same afternoon, fitted a new one, and the price he gave me over the phone didn't budge.
We bought a flat in Wellswood in May and had no idea who might still have keys. He came the next morning, swapped both cylinders for anti-snap ones and was done inside the hour. Left the hallway tidier than he found it.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Torquay? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
A good share of what we do in Torquay is freeing cylinders the sea has pitted and easing uPVC mechanisms that have stiffened up over winter, along the seafront and up through Wellswood and Babbacombe especially. Add the holiday lets and HMO flats that swap keys every week through the season and there's year-round work here for a locksmith. The whole TQ postcode area is on our patch, TQ1 to TQ14, 24 hours a day. Inside Torquay itself, TQ1 and TQ2, from Ellacombe and St Marychurch over to Chelston, Cockington and Shiphay, an engineer normally reaches you in 15 to 30 minutes. Further round the bay we'll be honest about the drive: Paignton in TQ3 and TQ4 is usually 15 to 25 minutes, Brixham in TQ5 nearer 25 to 35, and Newton Abbot (TQ12) or Teignmouth (TQ14) can be 25 to 45 depending on where the van is when you ring. Labour starts at £39, a basic replacement lock is £25 on top of that, and we don't add a call-out charge. You get the price on the phone before anyone drives anywhere. Non-destructive entry comes first: snapped keys come out, seized cylinders get picked or freed, and the drill stays in the van unless nothing else will work. The hilly avenues here are full of Victorian villas split into flats, mostly rim locks and mortice cases. Out at Shiphay and Hele the newer estates are nearly all uPVC multipoint doors, so the van carries parts for both. Every lock we fit meets BS3621, the standard insurers ask for. We also swap failed gearboxes, upgrade cylinders to anti-snap, sort window locks and handles, and secure doors after a break-in, same day where we can manage it. A landlord doing a changeover in Babbacombe pays the same as a homeowner in Cockington: £39 labour, and the job is guaranteed for twelve months, parts and fitting both.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Torquay and the wider TQ postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Devon, Babbacombe, St Marychurch, Wellswood, Ellacombe. From the city centre out to the edges of the TQ1-TQ14 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 Torquay? 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 TQ 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 Torquay? 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 TQ postcode area.
uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Torquay 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 Torquay and the surrounding Devon area.
