Locked Out in London? Your 24 Hour Emergency Locksmith Is One Call Away
If you’re searching for a 24/7 emergency locksmith near me in London right now, here’s everything our service covers, when to call us, and what to expect from the moment you pick up the phone.
When You Need a 24 Hour Emergency Locksmith
Not every lock issue is an emergency — but when it is, waiting until morning simply isn’t an option. These are the situations our team handles most often across London:
- Locked out of your home — keys left inside, lost, or stolen
- Snapped or broken key stuck inside the lock cylinder
- Jammed or seized locks that won’t turn even with the correct key
- Break-ins and attempted burglary requiring urgent lock replacement
- Locked out of your business before opening or after closing
- Landlord and letting agency lockouts between tenancies
- Lost keys requiring an urgent full lock change for security
If any of this sounds like your situation right now, you don’t need to wait it out — our Locksmith team is on call across London, day and night.

What Our 24 Hour Locksmith Service Includes
Alanco’s emergency locksmith service is built to resolve the problem fully in one visit, not just get you back through the door. Our engineers arrive equipped to handle:
Emergency Lockout Entry
Non-destructive entry wherever possible, so your door and lock stay undamaged. Drilling is only used as a last resort when there’s genuinely no other option.
Lock Repairs and Replacements
From a single worn euro cylinder to a full door-set replacement, our vans carry common lock stock so most jobs are completed there and then — no return visit needed.
Key Cutting and Duplication
Fast, accurate spare keys cut on-site or at short notice, ideal after a lost-key incident or for new tenants.
Post-Break-In Security Restoration
If your home or business has been broken into, we prioritise urgent call-outs to secure the property immediately, then advise on longer-term upgrades.
Smart Lock and Security Upgrades
Keyless entry, smart locks, and upgraded cylinder systems for homeowners and landlords wanting stronger, more convenient security going forward.
Commercial and Landlord Locksmith Support
Urgent access for property managers, letting agents, and business owners — including lock changes between tenancies and emergency out-of-hours call-outs.
