About Locksmiths24hour
Providing trusted local locksmith services across Great Britain since 2004.
Our History & Model
Founded in 2004, Locksmiths24hour began as a family-run locksmith team based on a simple but effective model: **truly local response**. Instead of dispatching engineers from distant call centres, we work with locksmith technicians permanently based directly within your local community.
Over the past 22 years, our network has expanded to cover every main town and city across England, Scotland, and Wales. By keeping our engineers local, we guarantee a maximum 30-minute response time for emergency situations, day or night.
Our Qualifications & Standards
DBS Vetted Technicians
Your home security is our absolute priority. All locksmith engineers in our network are fully background-checked, vetted, and DBS-checked, ensuring reliable and trustworthy service.
BS3621 Insurance Locks
We stock and fit high-security hardware that complies with British Standard BS3621 and carries the Kitemark logo, ensuring your locks comply with building and home contents insurance.
Important Note on Vehicle Lockouts
Our auto locksmith service is strictly restricted to **emergency entry for locked cars or vans** (e.g. key locked inside the boot). We do not provide replacement keys, transponder programming, lock repairs, or remote fob configuration.
Our Guarantees
We stand by the quality of our locksmith services. All replacement lock mechanisms and security hardware fitted come with a **12-month manufacturer parts warranty**. Additionally, all work completed by our engineers is backed by a **90-day labour guarantee**.
We provide transparent pricing: we quote and agree on the final cost before starting the work. There are no hidden fees or call-out charges.
