Emergency Locksmith in Chichester
Call us if you are locked out, cannot lock your door or need a property secured urgently. Our emergency locksmith service covers Chichester and surrounding areas.
When you call, tell us your postcode, the type of door, whether it is locked or has slammed shut, and what happens when you turn the key or lift the handle. This helps us understand the likely fault, bring the right parts and provide a more accurate estimate.
We will confirm availability and give you an estimated arrival time before attending.
Non-Destructive Entry Wherever Possible
We try to open doors without damaging the lock or door wherever possible. The correct method depends on the lock, whether the door is deadlocked and whether the mechanism has failed.
Drilling is sometimes necessary for a failed, damaged or securely locked mechanism. If so, we will explain why before proceeding and replace the affected lock where required.
uPVC and Double-Glazed Door-Lock Repairs
Problems with uPVC and composite doors are not always caused by the cylinder. The fault may be in the handle, gearbox, multipoint locking strip, keeps or door alignment.
We repair:
- Jammed multipoint locks
- Failed gearboxes
- Loose, stiff or broken handles
- Faulty euro cylinders
- Misaligned doors
- Keys that turn without opening the door
If your handle or lock is becoming stiff, avoid forcing it. An early repair may prevent the complete mechanism from failing.
Lock Changes and Security Upgrades
We can replace locks after lost or stolen keys, a house move, a change of tenant or an attempted break-in. We can also recommend suitable British Standard locks and security cylinders for your door.
If you need spare keys, we also offer a professional key-cutting service for common, specialist and restricted keys.
We also support shops, offices, landlords and managing agents. See our commercial locksmith and security services for master-key systems, access control, door-entry systems and emergency-exit hardware.

Would definitely recommend these guys for all kinds of alarms or cctv work – they definitely know their stuff and they never tried to oversell anything, quite the opposite in fact! Great, thanks very much 🙂

I’d just like to say you did a great job with my door bell and cameras. A few neighbours had break ins last night and they left us alone.
