Emergency Lockouts

Being locked out is stressful — especially late at night or in bad weather. Call and you’ll speak to a real locksmith who’ll give you an honest arrival time. We always try non-destructive entry first, so in most cases your existing lock survives and you’re back inside without damage.

Common lockouts

Common reasons people get locked out

Whatever the reason, we can help — and we’ll make sure your home is secure again before we leave.

  • Lost or misplaced keys

    The most common call-out. If your keys might be in the wrong hands, we can change the locks there and then.

  • Snapped or stuck keys

    A key can break off in the lock, leaving it unusable even if you have a spare. We remove it and repair or replace the cylinder.

  • Door slammed shut

    A draught can slam a door behind you. We use non-destructive entry wherever possible to get you back in.

  • Stolen keys

    If your keys have been stolen, we’ll get you in and fit new locks so the old keys no longer work.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common locksmith questions

Are you really available 24 hours a day?

Yes. SOS Locksmiths is a genuine 24/7 service, every day of the year including bank holidays. If you’re locked out at 3am, call and you’ll speak to David — not a call centre.

Is there a call-out charge?

No. There is no call-out charge. We’ll talk you through the likely cost on the phone and confirm the price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

How quickly can you get to me?

We’re based in Lostock, so most of Bolton, Horwich and Westhoughton is a short drive away. When you call we’ll give you an honest arrival time based on where you are and the time of day.

Can you get me in without damaging my door or lock?

In most cases, yes. We always try non-destructive entry first. If a lock does need to be drilled or replaced, we’ll explain why and fit a new one there and then.

My uPVC door won’t lock — can you fix it?

Almost certainly. A handle that won’t lift, a key that won’t turn or a door that only locks when slammed usually means a worn multipoint mechanism or gearbox. We carry replacements on the van and can usually fix it in one visit.

Are you insured and DBS-checked?

Yes. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, so you can feel completely confident letting us into your home or business.

Do you work on car locks or safes?

No — we specialise in residential and commercial door, window and building locks. For vehicle keys or safes, we’d recommend contacting an auto locksmith or safe engineer.
