Locked Out? We’ll Get You Back Inside – Fast & Damage-Free

We’ve all been there — the door clicks shut behind you, and suddenly you’re on the wrong side. Whether you left your keys inside, lost them altogether, or snapped one in the lock, being locked out is stressful. At 247 Door Locksmiths, we specialise in fast, non-destructive entry that gets you back in without turning your day upside down.


Common Gaining Entry Situations We Solve :

We’ve helped thousands of customers with their urgent locksmith needs, including:

Non-Destructive Home Entry Non-Destructive Home Entry

Locked out of your house? Don’t worry — our locksmiths are trained in advanced, non-destructive entry techniques that prioritise both your time and your property. Whether you’ve left your keys inside, lost them while out, or the lock’s simply jammed, we’ll get you back in without drilling or damaging the lock in most cases. We’re experienced with all major locking systems — from traditional mortice locks and Yale night latches to modern multi-point locking systems on uPVC and composite doors. We assess the situation quickly and use specialist tools to regain entry without leaving a trace. It’s your home. We’ll help you get back in — quietly and professionally.

Snapped Key Removal Snapped Key Removal

Keys don’t always break at convenient times. If your key has snapped in the lock — whether due to wear and tear or faulty alignment — our locksmiths can safely extract the broken piece without damaging the lock itself. Using precision extraction tools and tried-and-tested methods, we remove the key fragment and assess the condition of your lock to make sure everything’s still secure. If necessary, we’ll cut a new key on the spot or recommend a suitable replacement. No more fiddling with tweezers — just expert key removal that works.

Commercial Property Lockouts Commercial Property Lockouts

Locked out of your shop, office, or warehouse? Time is money, and we know how disruptive a lockout can be for your business. That’s why we offer fast, reliable commercial lockout services designed to get you back inside without delay. We’re experienced with a wide variety of commercial security systems — from standard locks and digital keypads to access control systems and fire exits. Our locksmiths arrive promptly, assess the entry point, and choose the safest, most efficient method to regain access. Professional entry. Minimal disruption. Back to business as usual.

Forgotten Key Retrieval Forgotten Key Retrieval

Sometimes the keys aren’t lost — they’re just on the other side of the door, on a high shelf, or dropped behind a tight corner inside the house. Whether you’ve locked your keys inside or left them somewhere hard to reach, our team can help you retrieve them quickly and without damage. We use specialist retrieval tools and flexible inspection equipment to locate and recover keys in tight or awkward spots. If entry is required, we’ll always aim for non-destructive access first. Lost access? We’ll help you get it back without drama.

Elderly or Vulnerable Resident Lockouts Elderly or Vulnerable Resident Lockouts

When an elderly resident or someone with limited mobility is locked out — or locked inside — time and compassion matter most. Our locksmiths prioritise these cases with urgency and care. We coordinate with family, carers, or emergency services if needed, ensuring the individual’s safety and dignity throughout the process. - Holiday Rental & Airbnb Lockouts: Lockouts in short-term rentals can ruin a guest’s experience or disrupt a host’s schedule. We provide quick, discreet locksmith services for Airbnbs, serviced apartments, and holiday rentals. Whether a key has gone missing or a smart lock has failed, we’ll get your guests back inside — and can even recommend longer-term access solutions for peace of mind.

Lockouts Due to Lock Failure Lockouts Due to Lock Failure

Sometimes, the issue isn’t the key — it’s the lock itself. From jammed deadbolts and frozen mechanisms to worn-out digital systems, our locksmiths diagnose and fix the problem on the spot. If a lock needs replacing, we carry a range of parts and cylinders to restore security without delay.

Huge credit to Door Locksmiths. I locked myself out and called them for help. A very friendly and professional guy called Peter turned up promptly. He explained everything to me in advance, advised of the cost and replaced my lock accordingly. The whole service was much more reasonable than quoted with some other locksmith companies. I strongly recommend Peter and The Door Locksmiths.
