What has happened?

Pick the closest one, then ring. Knowing this before the van sets off saves everyone time.

Locked out of the house or the car

The most common call there is. The lock is opened without damage wherever it allows it, and you are back in with the same key working as before. If the key is snapped in the barrel, say so on the phone and the right cylinder comes out with the van.

Have this ready

The address, whether it is a front or back door, and roughly what the lock looks like. For a vehicle, the make, model and registration.

Services

Seven jobs, done properly.

Most jobs finish on the first visit, because the locks, keys and remotes are already in the van.

  • The locksmith at a front door, at night if possible

    Emergency locksmith

    Locked out at midnight, keys posted through the letterbox, or a forced door that needs securing tonight.

    Homes, shops, offices, units, yards and vehicles.

  • Lock repair and replacement

    Snapped, seized or worn-out locks repaired where they can be saved and replaced from van stock where they cannot.

    Euro cylinders, night latches, mortice locks, padlocks and shutters.

  • UPVC door lock repair

    UPVC doors that will not lift and lock, handles that spin, keys that turn and do nothing.

    Multipoint mechanisms, gearboxes, handles and alignment.

  • Anti-snap lock upgrades

    Older euro cylinders swapped for anti-snap ones that stand up to the method burglars use most on UPVC and composite doors.

    TS007 3-star and Sold Secure Diamond rated cylinders.

  • Lock changes and burglary repair

    Keys lost or stolen, moving house, or a break-in. Locks changed the same visit and the old keys made useless.

    Homes, rentals, shops and offices.

  • Auto locksmith

    Car and van keys cut, supplied and programmed where the vehicle stands, including when the only key is gone.

    Cars, vans, transponder keys, flip keys and blades.

  • Spare car keys and remotes

    Replacement and spare remotes supplied and paired while you wait. No dealer wait, no recovery bill.

    Worth doing before the last key goes missing, not after.

  • Not sure which? Just describe it.

Why it matters who you ring

The first result is often a booking line, not a locksmith.

Many of the adverts at the top of the results are national call centres that pass your job to whoever is free. Here is the difference.

Ring Locks2You

Who answers the phone
The locksmith who will do the job. He knows the area, the lock and the price before you have finished the sentence.
Who turns up
The man you spoke to, in his own van, with his own stock.
The price
Agreed on the phone before the van moves. That is the price you pay.
The lock
Opened without damage wherever the lock allows it. Drilling is the last resort, and you are told first.
Where the van is
Somewhere between Bury St Edmunds and Brentwood, and you are told exactly where when you ring.

Ring a national booking line

Who answers the phone
A call handler, often in another county, reading from a script and passing your details on.
Who turns up
Whichever subcontractor is free. You find out who when they arrive.
The price
Usually a "from" figure on the call, finalised on the doorstep once you have no choice.
The lock
Drilling is quicker and sells a new lock, so drilling is common.
Where the van is
Anywhere. The wait is whatever it turns out to be.

One way to check any locksmith, including this one: ask where the van is right now. A local answers with a road name. How to spot a rogue locksmith

Lock snapping

Is your front door one snap away?

Lock snapping breaks a standard euro cylinder and turns it from outside the door. It is one of the most common ways into UPVC and composite doors, and on most of them the fix is a single part: an anti-snap cylinder, fitted in one short visit and keyed to suit you.

Worth a call if:

  • The cylinder sticks out past the handle by more than a few millimetres.
  • There is no kitemark and no stars on the face of the cylinder.
  • The cylinder came with the door and has never been changed.
  • Your insurer has asked for a TS007 3-star or Sold Secure Diamond cylinder.

How a callout goes

From the phone call to the door shutting behind you.

  1. You ring the mobile

    Describe the door, the lock, or the vehicle and its registration. You get a straight answer on timing and price.

  2. The van turns up

    Locks, cylinders, blank keys and remotes are already on board, so the usual jobs are not waiting on parts.

  3. You are back in

    Opened, repaired or keyed, tested with you watching, at the price you were quoted on the phone.

Straight answers

The four things people ask on the phone.

Anything else, ring and ask. It costs nothing to find out.

Will you damage my door?

The aim is always to open without damage. If a lock has failed inside and has to be drilled, you are told first, and a replacement goes on the same visit.

What will it cost?

You get a price on the phone before the van moves, and that is the price you pay. No hourly creep, no surprise parts bill.

I have lost every key to my van.

A normal job. A new key is cut and programmed to the vehicle where it stands, so there is no recovery truck and no dealer queue.

Is it really 24 hours?

Yes. Nights, weekends and bank holidays. If you are stood outside in the cold, ring now rather than waiting for the morning.

Not urgent

Leave the details, get a call back.

For quotes on new locks, spare keys or extra remotes. Anything urgent, ring instead. The phone beats any form.
