Why Trust Lock & Key Emergency Locksmiths in Rotherham?

Whatever the time, day or night, if you’re locked out, we can help. We operate 24/7 across Rotherham and the surrounding areas, providing our services to both domestic and commercial customers who have locked themselves out.

Contact friends or family as they may have a spare key

Contact family and friends in the area

You should also speak with your friends, neighbours, colleagues, or family members living close by. Maybe, one of them has a spare key to your home, given to them by you for emergencies. This way, you can easily get back inside your home without hurrying to get a new one made.

Avoid trying to make any repairs yourself as this could cause more damage

Don’t attempt any DIY lock picking

Television shows often make it look easy, but you shouldn’t try to pick your lock on your own. It’s the wrong call, since you may end up making the situation worse. You need the right skills and tools to pick a lock. So, leave the emergency lockout services to our experts, and never try to attempt DIY lock repairs.

Ask your neighbours if they have a spare key

Reach out to your neighbours

If you’re friendly with a neighbour, turn to them for help. They may let you stay with them for 30-60 minutes, until our locksmith arrives at your location. Once our local locksmith shows up, you can thank your neighbour for their hospitality and before long we will have you back in your home.

Emergency Assistance for Lock Outs

While every situation is completely unique, we believe that being locked out of your property certainly constitutes an emergency, which is exactly why we treat it as such. In an emergency situation, you don’t want to be left alone waiting for hours for help to arrive.

Instead, you want (and need) the help of a trained professional as soon as possible. Which is exactly what you get when you choose Rotherham Lock & Key.

Why Place Your Trust in a Local Company

Unfortunately, we’ve seen first-hand customers who have contacted a national locksmith company that promised fast callouts from locksmiths in the area; only to be left waiting for hours out in the cold! This is because most national companies use sub-contractors and as such they priorities their own workload first, which means more often than not you get pushed down the queue! More importantly, many national companies do not vet their locksmiths to the extent we do, so you can never be quite sure who is turning up!

Instead, we strongly recommend using a truly local company that is based in Rotherham – like us! Due to the fact we’re based in the area, we can minimise travel time and get to you in the quickest possible time, usually within 60 minutes. Additionally, we are focussed on ensuring our customer care is of the highest standard, we can’t afford to let customers down, our reputation depends on you!

How to Avoid Being Locked Out of Your Home in Rotherham

Did you get locked out of your home? Are you afraid it might happen again? It’s very reasonable to have such fears. Getting locked out of your home isn’t a happy feeling. So, here’s how you can avoid emergency lockouts:

Police approved key safes

Invest in and Install One or More Accredited Police-Approved Key Safes

Having an accredited key safe fitted by one of our skilled locksmiths provides a secure location for storing spare keys, ensuring they are readily available in case of an emergency. These key safes are exceptionally secure, with the only unauthorised access method requiring an angle grinder, thereby offering additional reassurance.

Regularly service existing locks

Regularly Service Existing locks Around Your Home and Business

It is advisable to arrange for your locks to be serviced every 6-12 months by a professional locksmith in order to maintain them in optimal working condition. A crucial aspect of lock maintenance is using the correct lubricants: PTFE lubricant is suitable for multi-point locking mechanisms, while graphite powder is perfect for traditional Euro locks.

Lost my front door key on hols so was dreading getting back and having to wait around for a locksmith.

Came within an hour Sunday evening. Explained and showed me the damage that had caused the jam and broken key and gave me a fair quote for the repair. Replaced the lock and handle mechanism and thoroughly checked everything, even adjusted the door mountings as they were out. Brilliant job and smashing fella, wholeheartedly recommend.

Having found that the French doors would not lock on Sunday evening I phoned lock and key Barnsley. I gave a description of the problem and John gave me a quote for what he thought the problem would be but explained if it was something else he may have to adjust the quote. He said he could be with me in 30 minutes, it was actually more like 20 minutes. He checked the lock and confirmed it was the issue we had discussed. John completed the required work promptly and with minimum fuss. He left me with a receipt for the work, after demonstrating the new lock working. Very happy with this service and would recommend.
