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 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!

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!

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!

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:
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 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!
