An emergency locksmith opens a door you cannot get through, at any hour. Non-destructive entry is attempted first, so on most standard doors the existing lock is left working and there is nothing to replace. Emergency entry starts at £132, with call-out and labour charged separately.
Locked out of your home or business, lost your keys or unable to secure a door? Call Lancashire Locksmith on 07931 501346 for emergency entry and lock repairs, day or night.
What to do when you are locked out
Check whether a trusted keyholder can help before arranging a call-out. Avoid forcing the handle or pushing tools into the lock: this can damage the cylinder or door. If someone is in immediate danger, contact the emergency services first.
How emergency entry works
Tell us your postcode, door type and whether the key turns or has snapped. We assess the lock and explain the entry options before starting. Non-destructive methods are used wherever possible; if drilling or replacement is necessary, the work and cost are discussed first.
Information to have ready
Describe whether the door has closed on the latch, been locked with a key or developed a mechanical fault. Let us know if a key is inside the lock. Be ready to demonstrate that you are authorised to access the property.
