What happens when you call
When you search for a locksmith near you, what matters is who can actually be at your door soon. We send your job to the free locksmith nearest to your postcode, not to a call centre in another city. He is usually with you in 10–15 minutes, and you get the exact time once he accepts the job.
Tell Alisha, who answers the phone day and night, what has happened and where you are. If your postcode is outside our area we say so straight away, so you can call someone closer instead of waiting.
At the door, the locksmith tries to open it without damage first. The price is shown on his phone and you approve it before any work starts. You can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash.
