"Came home from a night out on West Street to find my keys were missing. Called at 1am and the locksmith reached my flat in Kemptown within 20 minutes. He picked the lock without a scratch on the door, quoted me exactly what I paid, and even gave me tips on upgrading my old Yale latch. Absolute lifesaver on a cold Saturday night."
Kemptown, Brighton BN2
"Our uPVC back door in Hove had been getting stiffer for weeks until it seized completely on a Sunday morning. The engineer arrived quickly, diagnosed a worn gearbox, and replaced the entire mechanism on the spot. Door works perfectly again and the price was very fair. Really impressed with the knowledge and professionalism."
Hove, BN3
"We were burgled through the back patio door at our Worthing bungalow. The locksmith was with us in under 25 minutes, boarded the damaged frame, replaced all the compromised locks, and fitted anti-snap cylinders on every external door. He was calm, reassuring, and even provided a written report for our insurance claim. Cannot thank them enough."
Worthing, BN11
"Just moved into a Regency conversion flat near Brunswick Square and wanted all locks changed for peace of mind. The locksmith fitted new British Standard mortice locks and modern anti-snap cylinders throughout. Gave me a great price for doing the whole property in one visit. Spotless work — highly recommended for anyone in Brighton or Hove."
Brunswick, Brighton BN1
"My elderly mum locked herself out of her bungalow in Peacehaven and was very upset. The locksmith arrived in about 20 minutes, was incredibly patient and gentle with her, and opened the door without any damage at all. He checked all the other locks too and made sure she felt safe. Wonderful service — kind and professional."
Peacehaven, BN10
"Needed a safe opened at our shop in Lewes after the electronic keypad failed. The engineer used specialist techniques and got it open without drilling — I was amazed. He reset the combination on the spot and the safe is working perfectly again. Fair price, fast arrival, and genuinely skilled work. Will definitely call again if needed."

The Brighton area stretches across the Sussex coast from the iconic Brighton seafront to the rolling South Downs and the Low Weald — a diverse region covering Regency squares and terraces, Victorian seaside semis, basement flat conversions, and modern coastal new-build developments. Our engineers are positioned throughout this territory, and whatever your lock emergency, we will be with you in under 25 minutes from your call with no call-out fee and a fixed price agreed before we start.
Brighton and Hove has one of the highest concentrations of converted flat properties in the South East. Basement flat doors, communal front doors, and older timber-framed Victorian front doors are the most common lockout scenarios we attend across the BN area.
When you call our Brighton emergency locksmith line:
When you call, a real person answers. Not an automated system, not a voicemail — a member of our team who will take your location, identify the nearest available engineer in the BN area, and give you an honest estimated arrival time. That engineer will then call you directly to confirm their ETA and talk you through what to expect.
Our engineers carry full picking equipment for all common lock types found across East and West Sussex's Regency squares and terraces and Victorian seaside semis properties: Yale nightlatches, British Standard 5-lever mortice locks, euro cylinders, and UPVC multipoint mechanisms. Non-destructive entry is our first approach every time — we open doors without drilling in the majority of cases. Where a lock is too secure to pick (which is actually a sign of good security), we explain before we drill, agree the price, and leave the property with a new, secure lock in place.
If your property has been broken into anywhere in the BN area, we will respond as quickly as any other emergency call — within 25 minutes. Our engineers understand that a burglary is a deeply distressing experience and they work efficiently and calmly to make your property secure as quickly as possible. On arrival we will assess and repair or replace any damaged locks, reinforce any forced door frames using hinge bolts and anti-jemmy hardware, and fit additional security measures if required. We also carry plywood and timber boarding for windows and doors that cannot be immediately secured, so your property is never left unsecured when we leave.
We are happy to provide a written report of the work carried out and the locks fitted, which may be required by your insurance provider when you make a claim.
If your UPVC door has become stiff to lock, if the handle needs to be lifted sharply before the bolts will engage, or if the door no longer sits flush in its frame, these are classic early warning signs of a problem developing. The most common causes are: sagging hinges pulling the door out of alignment with the frame, a worn gearbox losing the ability to extend all lock points fully, and frame movement caused by temperature changes or settlement.
Left untreated, a door that is difficult to lock will eventually seize completely — and the result is either a lockout or a door that can be pushed open from outside. Our engineers can diagnose and repair the majority of UPVC door problems on a single visit, adjusting hinge settings, replacing the gearbox, or repacking and realigning the frame as required.
Forgetting a safe combination — or finding that a safe's electronic lock has failed — is more common than most people expect, and it does not mean the safe or its contents are permanently inaccessible. Our engineers across the BN postcode area are trained in non-destructive safe opening techniques and can open the majority of domestic and commercial safes without drilling or cutting. Where non-destructive opening is not possible, we will always explain the options and agree a price before proceeding. After opening, we can also reset the combination or replace the lock mechanism so the safe is immediately back in service. All safe opening work carries our standard 12-month guarantee, and our minimum labour rate of £39 makes us the most cost-effective safe opening service available across Brighton and the surrounding BN area.
Over the years our engineers have helped thousands of homeowners, tenants, landlords, and businesses across the Sussex coast from the iconic Brighton seafront to the rolling South Downs and the Low Weald get back through their doors, upgrade their security, and repair failing locks. Our customers in Brighton, Worthing, and Hove consistently tell us two things: they are surprised at how quickly we arrive, and they are relieved at how honest and straightforward our pricing is. We are proud of that reputation and work hard to maintain it across every postcode in the BN area. If you have a question about our services or would like a price guide before you book, call us any time — day or night.
Based on our experience attending call-outs across the Sussex coast from the iconic Brighton seafront to the rolling South Downs and the Low Weald, the most common points of entry used by opportunistic burglars are: front and back UPVC doors with standard (non-anti-snap) euro cylinders; rear patio sliding doors with single-point snap locks; and ground-floor windows with worn or defective espagnolette handles. Our three quick security wins for any BN area property: (1) replace your euro cylinder with a TS007 3-star anti-snap model; (2) add a snap cover plate to conceal the vulnerable projecting section of the cylinder; (3) fit hinge bolts to all external timber doors to resist jemmy attacks on the hinge side.
