Our emergency locksmith services in East London

Lockouts
(gain entry without damage)

Common Leyton call-outs include doors slamming shut on terraces near the High Road, flats above shops and shared stairwells. We aim to get you back inside using non-destructive methods first, so you’re not left with avoidable damage or unnecessary replacements..

Repairs

We deal with swollen doors, tired mechanisms and locks that have taken a knock – from misaligned euro cylinders near Lea Bridge Road to worn mortice locks on older Leytonstone properties. Our focus is to restore smooth, reliable operation and secure closure rather than pushing replacement for the sake of it.

Vehicles

Where the vehicle and locking system allow, we can help with lockouts and access issues – for example keys locked inside the car near retail parks or leisure facilities. We’ll always be upfront about what we can and cannot do for a particular model so you’re not left guessing.

Emergencies

Lost keys after a trip to Stratford, failed locks late at night, damage after an attempted break-in, or a door that simply will not latch – we attend all kinds of urgent situations. The priority is always safety, securing the property and giving you clear information about what needs doing now versus what can wait.

Master Keys

For landlords, agents and those managing HMOs or blocks around Leyton and Leytonstone, we can set up master key or keyed-alike systems. This can reduce the number of keys you carry while still controlling who can access specific doors.

Lock Replacements

We replace worn, broken or insecure locks with suitable modern hardware, including anti-snap euro cylinders and insurance-compliant options. If we recommend a replacement rather than a repair, we will explain why, what’s changing and the cost before you agree to anything.

Evictions

When instructed by landlords, agents or enforcement officers, we can attend to gain access at the agreed time and change locks where required. We aim to work discreetly, keep everyone informed and ensure the property is left secure once the visit is complete.

Areas We Cover

We provide emergency locksmith services across the whole of East London within a realistic arrival window, including but not limited to:


Stepney, Hackney, Leyton, Stratford, Bow, Bethnal Green, Mile End, Homerton, Poplar, East Ham, Forest Gate, Plaistow, Shoreditch, Walthamstow, Chingford, Ilford, Canary Wharf, Whitechapel, Aldgate, Limehouse, Hoxton, Dalston, Clapton and Plaistow.

Areas we do not currently attend: Dagenham, Romford or locations beyond Ilford.

Our Response Times

We always confirm a realistic ETA before attending. During the day, arrival is typically within around 30 minutes, with up to 40 minutes being the longest realistic timeframe in heavier traffic. After 8:30pm, arrival is often quicker – commonly around 20 minutes – while still allowing up to 40 minutes if conditions require it.

Overnight jobs are prioritised for dispatch, with arrival times again normally falling within a 40-minute window. All arrival times depend on traffic and current workload, and if anything changes while we’re on the way, we’ll keep you updated so you know exactly what to expect.

ID checks & property security

Before forced entry we require:

  • Photo ID (driving licence or passport)
  • Proof of residency (recent bill if available)

If ID can't be provided:

  • We may verify via photos from inside
  • Or neighbour verification
  • If still unsure, we will not proceed and may contact authorities

These checks protect you, your property and legitimate residents — and ensure we never unlock a property for the wrong person.

Pricing & payment

Our emergency pricing is per job, with a clear price range given before we attend, followed by a fixed quote before work begins. There are no call-out fees, and night rates apply (weekends charged at standard rate).

  • From £120+ depending on lock type, timing and complexity
  • Payment on completion via bank transfer or cash
  • Digital invoices provided
  • 1-year parts & labour guarantee
  • A fair cancellation fee applies if you cancel after we’re already en-route

This approach keeps pricing transparent and avoids surprise charges.

What sets us apart

We do not rely on exaggerated arrival claims or vague “from £X” pricing that changes on the doorstep. Instead, we focus on clear communication, realistic ETAs and calm explanations of what needs doing and why. That approach tends to lower stress in an already stressful situation and gives you confidence that the work is necessary, proportionate and carried out with care.

Emergency locksmith FAQs

How quickly can you get to me in East London?
In most cases we aim to arrive within up to 30 minutes during the day, and often even faster after 8:30pm in the evenings. In very busy periods or with heavier traffic, the longest realistic response time is around 40 minutes. We always give you a clear ETA before we set off.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

How much does an emergency locksmith cost in East London?
Our emergency locksmith work starts from £120+, depending on the type of lock, the time of day and the complexity of the job. We give you a price range before we attend and then a fixed quote before we start any work.

What ID do I need before you can let me in?
Before forcing entry we normally ask to see photo ID such as a driving licence or passport, and proof of address such as a recent bill. If you do not have ID to hand, we may use alternative checks such as neighbour verification or previous photos taken inside the property. If we are not satisfied, we will not proceed and may contact the local authorities.
