Simply put up a task and get free quotes within minutes from locksmiths near you. Depending on availability, a Tasker may be able to come to you within 20 minutes to an hour. 

London locksmiths can help with any situation, be it helping you regain access to your property or upgrading your home security. Their services include lock picking, replacement, or repair.  

With crime being a common problem in London, you may want to increase your home’s security against potential intruders. To do so, you need a qualified locksmith to fit new locks and improve your lock system. If burglars have broken out your door lock, an emergency locksmith can fix that up quickly as well.  

Aside from locksmith services, we also connect you to door frame fitters if you’d rather replace your entire door to match the new locks. In the unfortunate event of a burglary, a tradesman may also repair your broken windows. For good measure, you can install a security camera to your home or dash cam to your vehicle for your extra peace of mind.  

You can get all this done within our platform for as little time and effort as possible. Booking locksmith services is so simple you could be sipping coffee at Costa Coffee or strolling along Hyde Park while you go through the booking process.

What does locksmithing include?

While they’re great in emergencies, you can call on a locksmith to help with other lock-related challenges, too. Here’s you can expect when you hire a locksmith for different tasks:

Emergency locksmith

Emergency locksmiths are available at short notice and often work outside standard trading hours. Ideally, you want to find a locksmith near you so they can get to you quickly and keep your lockout time to a minimum. An emergency locksmith will first try to pick your locks and deadbolts to get you back into your home. But if this doesn’t work, they’ll have the right tools to drill the lock and immediately install a new one to keep your home secure.

Auto locksmith

If you break or lose your car key, or lock it inside your car, you can hire an automotive locksmith. They can unlock your car to retrieve your keys or replace your lock and key with a new one. Auto locksmiths can also help with fitting car locks, fixing car door handles, and replacing ignition barrels.

Lock repair

Locks don’t last forever. Wear and tear can make them stick or even break. A locksmith can help with lock repairon your front door, car door, garage door, mailbox, bathroom/bedroom, and even your windows and sliding doors. They’ll either fix and realign the broken lock or if it’s beyond fixing, they’ll replace it with a new one.  

Lock installation

If you’ve got a new door, a broken lock, or you’re not confident your current security system is secure, you might need a new lock installed. This is a smart idea if you’ve lost track who has access or a copy of your keys. Find a locksmith near you to install a new or upgraded lock so you can be confident it’s done properly. When you post your task, be sure to specify what type of lock you need fitted, whether you have the lock already, or if you need the locksmith to provide materials.

Lock Installation

£100

Teddington, Greater London, TW11

9th May 2026

Hi there, I am looking for a locksmith to work on three different doors in my home: 1. Front Door (Mortice to Euro Conversion): I am replacing an old mortice lock with a Euro cylinder sashlock. I already have the cylinder (Yale 3-Star, 35/35), so I only need you to provide the Euro Sashlock case and the labour for installation. The Challenge: The existing mortice pocket is chiselled for a 170mm x 25mm faceplate. Modern cases I’ve tried sit too deep in the pocket or leave height gaps. I need a locksmith to provide a suitable lock case (76mm/3-inch) and ensure it is packed/installed flush and secure. 2. Internal Door (Deadbolt Installation): I have purchased a deadbolt for an internal door but lack the tools for a fresh installation. 3. Sliding Doors (New Keyed Locks): I have two sliding doors that currently lack locks. I need you to supply and install keyed locking mechanisms for both. Please let me know which styles you recommend for maximum security. I can provide photos of all three doors upon request. Open to discussions on cost of the job however, know that I am also reaching out to locksmiths in my area therefore quotes need to be competitive. Thanks,

Locksmith needed

£100

Poplar, Greater London

5th May 2026

Hi, I need someone to help open a door where the lock cylinder has already been drilled out and mangled (see image.png).     The heavy lifting is done—the cylinder is sacrificed. I just need a professional or someone with the right mechanical tools to reach the internal tailpiece/cam to retract the bolt and get the door open. Once open, I’ll need the old hardware removed and a new cylinder installed (which we can discuss if you provide the part or if I grab one).     Since the lock is already open for manipulation as shown in image.png, I’m looking for a quick, straightforward mechanical release. Please let me know your offer for the opening and the install.

Replace door lock/latches and fill old keyholes

£400

Peckham, Greater London, SE15

7th Apr 2026

I require the following jobs done at a terrace house in Peckham Rye: 1. Front door: replace the existing main door dead/mortice lock with a lock that can be opened from the inside without use of a key, i.e. thumb turn. Ideally, please provide 1 key per tenant, plus 1 spare for the agent = total of 5 keys. If you cannot do this, please let me know how many keys you can provide and I will arrange with the tenants to organise additional copies. 2. Bedrooms: neatly fill all bedroom door keyholes with a solid filler to ensure that the locks are rendered permanently inoperable. There are 3 bedrooms but I don't recall if they all have keyholes, there might just be two. 3. Bathrooms: remove the latches on the upstairs and downstairs bathroom doors and add a privacy lock which can be operated by thumb-turn mechanism alone. There are 2 bathrooms with one door each. I have photos of some but not all the doors in question (apologies for the poor quality one, this is a screenshot from a video I took of the middle bedroom). EDIT: I would need you to provide all materials. You will need to coordinate with the tenants for access at a mutually convenient time. I will put you in touch once the job is allocated.
