How It Works
From Your Call to a Locksmith at the Door
Four short steps, no hold music, no chasing us for updates.
Tell us what's happened
A lockout, a snapped key or a break-in - let us know, and roughly whereabouts in Exeter you are.
Nearest locksmith takes the call
We find whichever vetted locksmith is closest and free right now, not the next name on a rota.
Price agreed on the phone first
The call-out cost and likely job total are confirmed before anyone sets off, so there's no surprise later.
Lock fixed and tested before we leave
ID shown at the door, the fix explained clearly, and the same locksmith stays until it's sorted.

What's Going Wrong
Lock Problems We Fix Most in Exeter
These are the call-outs that come up again and again, and what's usually causing them.
| What's happening | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Locked out, no spare key to hand | Non-destructive entry is tried first, before anything is forced or drilled. |
| Key snapped off inside the lock | A common fault on euro-cylinder locks once the cylinder has worn down. |
| Key turns but the door stays shut | Usually a worn barrel or a latch out of alignment, rather than the wrong key being used. |
| Door won't lock after a break-in | Usually frame or lock damage that needs securing the same day - always treated as a priority. |
| New tenancy at the start of term, want locks changed | A simple, routine job - one of our busiest requests every September. |

FAQs
Emergency locksmith questions, Exeter
How fast can a locksmith reach me in Exeter?
We send whoever's already nearest rather than the next name on a rota, so most Exeter call-outs are reached within our 30-60 minute average, day or night.
Do you get busier around student move-in weekend in September?
Yes, noticeably. With one of the largest student populations relative to its size of any UK city, Exeter sees lock-change requests spike hard every September as tenancies turn over, and we plan our cover around that surge.
Will you damage my door to get me back in?
Rarely. Non-destructive entry is always tried first, and a lock only gets forced or drilled when there's genuinely no other way in.
Which parts of Exeter do you cover?
The whole city - St Thomas, Heavitree, Pinhoe, Alphington, Whipton, St Leonard's and everywhere in between, plus the rest of the South West.
Locked out in Exeter right now?
Our line never closes. Call and a local locksmith will be sent immediately.
