Our approach

What 24 hours actually means

Plenty of locksmiths advertise 24 hours and route the after-hours calls to a voicemail that gets picked up at eight the next morning. If you have ever been on the wrong end of that, you know the difference.

We run shifts. There is a technician awake and a phone being answered through the night, over weekends and on public holidays — the days when the rest of the trade is closed and callers have the fewest options.

Night work also changes how a job is approached. We arrive with lighting, we verify who you are before opening anything, and we prioritise getting the property secure over getting it perfect, then return in daylight if a frame or gate needs proper attention.

  • Real overnight, weekend and holiday cover
  • Lighting and equipment for night work
  • Identification checked before we open anything
  • Property secured first, cosmetic work after
  • One number, any hour: 060 950 4888

Questions

Common questions about this service

Really open. Somebody is on shift and will speak to you, not take a message. If every technician is already on a job we will say so and give you a realistic time rather than leave you waiting.
Yes, every one of them, including Christmas and New Year. Those tend to be our busiest nights.
There is an after-hours rate, and we tell it to you on the phone before dispatching anyone. If you would rather wait until morning for a cheaper daytime rate and the situation is safe, we will tell you that too.
