Why Trust Lock & Key Emergency Locksmiths in Doncaster?

Whatever the time, day or night, if you’re locked out, we can help. We operate 24/7 across Doncaster 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

Maybe you lent a family member a key, or gave your neighbour a spare just in case? Perhaps you left a spare key with them while you were on holiday? Great news! If that’s the case, you can simply grab your spare, unlock the door, and get a shiny new key cut from the backup. Problem solved!

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

Don’t attempt any DIY lock picking

Of course, it looks super easy on television, right? But trying to pick a lock yourself without the right tools, training, or expertise is like trying to bake a cake without a recipe! Not only will you still be locked out, but now will also end up with  a pricey repair bill to deal with! So, please leave it to us, the professionals!

Ask your neighbours if they have a spare key

Reach out to your neighbours

Neighbours can be a huge help. If you have good relationship with them, you can always ask if they could “shelter” you temporarily, and maybe even enjoy a cuppa, while waiting for our trusty local locksmith to arrive. That should alleviate any worries, while we work to get you back inside!

Emergency Assistance for Lock Outs

Every lockout is its own little drama. But let’s be real! Being locked out is an emergency! And that’s exactly how we treat it (like a VIP situation). No one wants to be stuck waiting for hours with no idea when help will show up. You need us NOW, and we’re on it!

What you really need is a trained pro who knows their stuff, and you need them RIGHT NOW! That’s exactly what you get when you choose Doncaster 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 Doncaster – 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 Doncaster

Had a nightmare lockout before? Or maybe you’re just a bit paranoid about getting locked out? Don’t sweat it! We’ve got some pro tips to keep you from turning into a door-knocking disaster. Check these out:

Police approved key safes

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

Got a “just in case” key? Did you know that an accredited key safe (expertly installed by our locksmith expert) gives you a secret spot for spare keys? It’s so secure! The only way someone’s getting in without your permission is if they bring an angle grinder. Good luck with that! Extra peace of mind? 

Regularly service existing locks

Regularly Service Existing locks Around Your Home and Business

Keep your locks happy and healthy! Make sure to give them a little TLC every 6 to 12 months to keep them in tip-top shape! The key to lock maintenance? Use PTFE lubricant for multi-point locks (it’s the VIP treatment) and graphite powder for your regular euro locks. It truly is that simple!

I work for a Letting Agency and I had a Tenant report an emergency issue relating to their door late Friday evening. I contacted Jim at Doncaster Lock & Key and he attended the property within an hour and a half from calling him. He resolved the issue whilst onsite and provided excellent communication throughout; Jim was also very professional. I would highly recommend this company!

The team at Lock and Key are amazing! I ordered a replacement security door handle which was the wrong size - error on my part. Altough they spent almost an hour trying to fit it they gave me the details to order a replacement in the correct size. Terry came the second time to fit the correct sized handle and completed the job without fuss. Very reasonable priced too - highly recommended. 👍

I had a great experience with Doncaster Lock& Key today. I called at 9 AM, and they initially estimated they’d arrive by 11 AM—but they showed up early, which was a huge relief. Jim was friendly, polite, and got straight to work. Within 45 minutes, he had my lock working perfectly again. Fast, professional, and reliable—I highly recommend them!

We put care into every job we do, and it shows - our locksmiths truly work hard, and our 5-star Google reviews just keep growing!

Our locksmiths can take 30 minutes to replace door locks and work on adjustments to secure it.

This can all be answered by our local locksmith when he arrives at your property.

Yes, in the majority of situations we can 100% provide you with a quote before even taking the job so you’ll know what it all entails. We’ll most likely ask you questions to help identify the main issue together with photos to properly assess it.
