When you are locked out or facing a lock emergency, knowing what to expect from an emergency locksmith service can help reduce stress and ensure you get the best outcome. Here is a step-by-step guide to the Keys4U emergency locksmith process.
Step 1: Your Call
When you call our emergency locksmith line on 033 3305 2993, you will speak directly with a member of our team — not an automated system. We will ask you:
- Your location and address
- The nature of the problem (lockout, broken lock, etc.)
- The type of door and lock if known
- Whether you are the property owner or have authorisation to access
Step 2: Upfront Pricing
Before dispatching a locksmith, we will give you a clear price estimate. We believe in complete transparency — there are no hidden charges or surprise fees. The price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Step 3: Fast Arrival
Our average response time is 30 minutes. We will keep you updated on the locksmith's estimated arrival time. Our locksmiths carry ID and will show it on arrival.
Step 4: Assessment
On arrival, the locksmith will assess the situation and confirm the approach. They will always attempt non-destructive entry first — this means using specialist tools to open the lock without drilling or damaging it.
Step 5: Entry
Most lockouts are resolved in 10–30 minutes. The locksmith will open the door and, if required, replace or repair the lock on the spot. We carry a wide range of locks in our vans for immediate replacement.
Step 6: Security Advice
Once you are back inside, the locksmith will advise on any security improvements that might prevent future incidents. This advice is free and comes with no obligation.
