Reviews
I recently used the services of the Emergency Locksmith 24 and I must say, I was highly impressed.

They did a great job, making sure everything was secure and all of the locks worked perfectly. Highly recommend this locksmith company.
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 of the flat off Bishopthorpe Road around 10pm with the dog inside whining. Engineer there in 18 minutes, lock open without damage, waited while I checked the dog was fine and not eaten anything stupid. Fair price, no late-hour surcharge.
Front door on our terrace near Acomb needed a proper upgrade after an attempted break-in. Anti-snap cylinder and new BS-rated mortice fitted the same afternoon, paperwork sent through for the insurance. Solid work.
Used them for a lock change on a let in Poppleton between tenants. We'd had problems with previous tenants keeping spare keys after they'd moved out and we wanted everything fresh before the new family arrived. Two cylinders done in 40 minutes, two keys per lock, invoice direct to the managing agent. Straightforward, properly priced, and they've already gone in the book for the next changeover.
