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.
The night latch on my bungalow had gone slack and the door wouldn't stay shut, it just drifted open on its own. He swapped the old rim latch for a new one and adjusted the keep so it catches properly now. Tidy job, and he explained what had worn so I understood why it'd been getting worse.
Called about a back door that had dropped and was catching on the frame every time we locked it. Turned out the hinges had sagged over the years. Sorted in one visit and it shuts clean again.
We'd been putting up with a stiff front-door lock for months, always meaning to deal with it. Finally rang, someone came and took the cylinder apart, cleaned it and freed it off. Turns smoothly now, wish we'd done it sooner.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Wickford? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Wickford grew up along the River Crouch and the railway that opened in 1889, running commuters down to Southend and back into London. Shotgate began as plotland: plots sold off with unmade roads and no mains services, and that pattern still marks the street layout. We work the older names too, Wick and Beauchamps, where Roman finds have come out of the ground. Most call-outs here are on 20th-century stock, interwar bungalows through post-war estates to newer infill. Nevendon sits close by. Runwell falls into Chelmsford district and Battlesbridge into Rochford, but both are a short run and we cover them. 15 to 30 minutes is the window for Wickford. Whoever picks up gives you a genuine arrival time, whatever the day looks like. £25 is where lock prices begin, fitting included, and the labour alongside it is a flat £39. Cover runs for 12 months with no distinction made between parts and labour. If either lets you down, it is on us. The locksmith engineer we send is covered by insurance and holds a current DBS certificate.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Wickford and the wider SS postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Essex, Shotgate, Nevendon, Wick, Beauchamps. From the city centre out to the edges of the SS11-SS12 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.

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 Wickford 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.
