Emergency Locksmith
Round-the-clock call-outs for lockouts, snapped keys and anything that can't wait until morning.

Four short steps, no hold music, no chasing us for updates.
A lockout, a snapped key or a break-in - let us know, and roughly whereabouts near Truro you are.
We find whichever vetted locksmith is closest and free right now, not the next name on a rota.
The call-out cost and likely job total are confirmed before anyone sets off, so there's no surprise later.
ID shown at the door, the fix explained clearly, and the same locksmith stays until it's sorted.
One number covers all of it, from getting you back inside to fixing what let you down.
Round-the-clock call-outs for lockouts, snapped keys and anything that can't wait until morning.
Non-destructive entry wherever possible, then a lock replaced or upgraded on the spot.
Sticking hinges, failed latches and damaged gate locks fixed so the gate secures properly again.
Damaged or misaligned window frames repaired so they close and lock securely again.
Jammed or stuck roller shutters freed up and repaired to secure a property or shopfront properly.
Handles, hinges and other worn fixtures repaired or replaced so doors and windows work as they should.
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. |
| Moving into a new home and want the locks changed | A simple, routine job, whether it's in the city or out along the coast. |
Truro's older properties and the wider Cornish countryside around it mean our emergency locksmith Truro team regularly deals with tired lock hardware and mechanisms that have simply reached the end of their life. Isolated locations don't mean slower help - engineers are positioned across the region rather than working from one central spot. Describe what's happening on the phone and we'll get someone qualified heading your way.
Don't wait for the problem to get worse - call and we'll have a local locksmith on the way.
The service covers the whole of Truro, from the city centre out to every surrounding neighbourhood - not just the list below, but everywhere in between as well.
We send whoever's already nearest rather than the next name on a rota. As Cornwall's county town, Truro itself is usually towards the faster end of our 30-60 minute average, while more remote addresses further along the A30 or out towards the coast can occasionally take a little longer.
Yes. Truro serves a large and genuinely sparse rural hinterland, much of it reached by single-track lanes with passing places, and our locksmiths know how to actually navigate those lanes rather than just the distance shown on a map.
Rarely. Non-destructive entry is always tried first, and a lock only gets forced or drilled when there's genuinely no other way in.
The whole city - Highertown, Threemilestone, Malabar, Trelander, Gloweth, Tregolls and everywhere in between, plus the rest of the South West.
Our line never closes. Call and a local locksmith will be sent immediately.
