Emergency Locksmiths

Call-Outs at Any Hour

Somebody answers the phone through the night, over weekends and on public holidays, because that is when lockouts tend to happen. On the call we take the address, what exactly is locked, and whether anyone is at risk or a child or a pet is shut inside — those go to the front of the queue.

Cars, houses, flats and business doors are all opened without damage wherever the lock allows it, and where a lock has already been forced we can fit the replacement on the same visit. Vehicles are where Auto Locksmith started, so a car emergency reaches a technician who does that work every day.

When Do You Need an Emergency Locksmith?

• Locked out of your home at night
• Keys locked inside your car
• Lost or stolen keys
• Broken key in lock
• Lock damaged in break-in attempt
• Locked out of office or business premises
• Malfunctioning lock that won't open or close

What to Have Ready When We Arrive

Have something to hand that ties you to the property or the vehicle — an ID carrying the address, a lease, a licence disc or registration papers. It takes a moment at the door and it is the same check that stops anybody else having your lock opened on their word alone. Standing outside after dark, particularly next to a car, is not a position we leave people in any longer than we have to.

Vans Stocked for the First Visit

Every unit goes out loaded with key blanks, cylinders, pinning trays, programming equipment and the tools for non-destructive entry, so most emergencies are settled on the first visit rather than a return trip once parts have been ordered. Those units are spread across Johannesburg, Gauteng and the areas around it, which is what keeps the gap between your call and a knock on the window down.
