Common Questions
Locksmith FAQs
Straight answers about our 24 hour call-out, pricing and what we can do.
Are you available 24 hours a day?
Our emergency mobile locksmith call-out line is answered 24 hours a day, every day, for lockouts and urgent security issues. Our Stockwell key-cutting counter keeps regular daytime hours — call any time and we'll tell you straight away whether it's a counter job or a call-out.
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Brixton?
We're based right by Stockwell station, close to Brixton, so most local call-outs are reached quickly. Exact time depends on traffic and how busy we are at that moment — call and we'll give you an honest estimate before you commit to anything.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
Pricing depends on the job, the time of day and what needs doing, so we don't publish a flat rate. Call or request a callback and we'll talk you through the likely cost before any work starts.
Can you get into my home if I'm locked out, without damaging the door?
In most cases yes — we try non-destructive entry methods first wherever the lock and door allow it, and we'll always explain the options and any likely cost before we start.
Do you fit and repair UPVC and composite doors?
Yes, this is one of our specialisms: multipoint locking mechanisms, euro cylinders, hinges and handles on UPVC and composite doors.
Can you cut high-security and restricted keys?
Yes. Alongside standard Yale and Chubb keys we cut high-security types including Banham, Ultion, Kaba and multi-lock systems, plus electronic fobs for building access systems such as Paxton. Restricted keys depend on your existing authorisation, so ask when you call or visit the counter.
Which areas do you cover?
We're based at Stockwell station, on the Brixton/Stockwell border, and cover Brixton, Clapham, Camberwell, Kennington and the surrounding areas of Lambeth and Wandsworth — see our coverage page for the full list.
How do I book a locksmith or get a quote?
Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or use the Request a Callback form and tell us what's happened — we'll get back to you and, for emergencies, arrange a call-out straight away.
