Emergency lockouts, lock changes and door repairs in Stourbridge and nearby Wollaston, Norton, Amblecote.
Tap to call — fastest way to get someone out to you
Victorian and Edwardian villas around the town and out towards Norton and Wollaston, a conservation area in the centre, and substantial detached housing on the outer roads.
Stourbridge has more period property than most of the Black Country, and with it the constraints that come with conservation areas — what can be altered on the outside of a door is limited, and cutting a modern euro profile into an original door is both visually wrong and sometimes something that needs consent. The sensible route is upgrading what sits inside the existing lock case. The larger detached houses bring the opposite problem: several external doors, a garage, often patio or French doors, all on different keys. When a key goes missing the first useful question is which of those doors it actually opened, because replacing everything is rarely necessary.
Period door locks needing sympathetic replacement, patio and French door mechanisms, garage and outbuilding locks, and lost keys across several external doors.
The ring road and the town centre are busy through the day, with short-stay parking only near the centre. The outer roads towards Norton and Wollaston have driveways and easier access. Larger properties are often set back behind hedging, so a description of the house helps at night.
We also cover Wollaston, Norton, Amblecote from the same patch, so if you are on the boundary it makes no difference to how quickly someone can reach you.
Count your external doors and then count your keys. If the numbers are close, price a suited system — one key for everything means one cylinder to replace when a key goes missing, rather than a decision about whether to redo the lot.
Three steps, and you know the price before anyone touches the door.
What has happened, what kind of door, and where you are. You get a likely cost range and an honest arrival estimate — not a best case.
The locksmith looks at the actual lock and confirms the price. If it is more than the estimate, you hear why before work starts, and you can say no.
Door opened or lock fitted, everything tested with you there. Card or cash on completion, with a receipt and warranty.
Domestic and commercial. If the lock, door or key has failed, it is usually one of these.
Keys inside, door slammed, lost or stolen keys. We aim to open without damage, then advise if the lock needs replacing. More
After moving house, a tenancy change, lost keys or a break-in. British Standard cylinders and anti-snap options explained before fitting. More
Stiff handles, dropped doors, failed gearboxes. Often a repair rather than a full mechanism — we check before quoting. More
Snapped key in the barrel. Removed with extraction tools, then the lock is tested to check nothing else has been damaged. More
Damaged doors and frames made secure the same visit, with paperwork for your insurer. More
Anti-snap cylinders, restrictor plates, window locks and door reinforcement, quoted as an option and never as a condition of the callout. More

Not if the lock allows otherwise. Most standard cylinders and nightlatches can be opened non-destructively. Some high-security locks cannot, and if that is the case you will be told before anything is drilled, along with the cost of the replacement.
It depends on the lock type, the time of day and whether the cylinder survives. You get an estimate range on the phone and a fixed quote at the door. There is no charge if you decide not to go ahead once you have the quote.
It depends on where you are and what is already booked in. You will get a realistic time on the call, and a message if it changes.
Yes, the line is answered 24 hours. Out-of-hours rates are explained on the call, not added afterwards.
Yes, for entry to a property you live in, with proof of residence. Changing locks in a rented property usually needs the landlord's agreement, and we will tell you where that line sits.
Ask for the company name, the locksmith's name and the vehicle before they arrive. You will get a written receipt with the business address on it. If anything about a locksmith feels wrong, do not let them start work.
Yes, card or cash on completion. Payment is taken after the work is finished, not upfront.
No. We do not work on vehicles at all — no car keys, no transponder programming, no key fobs. That needs a specialist auto locksmith with different equipment, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time.
