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.

Andrew B

Snapped key in the front door near Castle Park before work. Someone was round inside 25 minutes, pulled the broken half out and fitted an anti-snap Euro cylinder. Two new keys cut, written warranty, sorted before lunch.

Andrew S

Tenant phoned us at 11pm — they'd snapped the key clean in the front door of our Weymouth holiday let. Brilliant. Phoned around and these picked up first. Engineer drove down from Dorchester within 25 minutes, pulled the broken half out without trashing the cylinder, and fitted an anti-snap to replace it. Two keys cut on the spot. Tenant was sorted, we slept easy.

Matthew A

Snapped my key off in the front door of the terrace in St Leonards (EX2). Came out within 22 minutes, drilled the cylinder, fitted an anti-snap, cut me two new keys. Reasonable price.

Ella D

Mid-week with the family in our holiday cottage in Dawlish, the uPVC front door just stopped working — wouldn't lock from the outside, then wouldn't open. Two kids inside, me out the front feeling stupid. Phoned around and these were the only ones who promised inside the hour. Engineer drove down from Exeter in just under 30 minutes, swapped the gearbox out, and we were back to normal before the kids had even finished a film. Written warranty came through by email that evening.
