Are you really available 24/7 in East London?

Yes. The East London Locksmith operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you’re locked out late at night or need emergency lock repairs after a break-in, we can usually attend within 20‑45 minutes depending on your location and traffic.

Which areas of East London do you cover?

We cover all of East London, including Canning Town, Custom House, Stratford, Plaistow, Forest Gate, East Ham, Beckton, Canary Wharf, Leyton, Leytonstone, Wanstead, Manor Park and the surrounding E and IG postcodes. If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just give us a call.

How much does an emergency locksmith call-out cost?

Our prices are transparent and agreed before any work is carried out. Costs depend on the time of day, the type of lock and the work required. We’ll always give you a clear price over the phone, with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect.

Can you open my door without damaging the lock?

Wherever possible we use non-destructive entry techniques to open your door without damaging the lock or hardware. If the lock is already faulty, broken or has been snapped during a break-in, we’ll talk you through replacement options before fitting new parts.

Do you supply and fit British Standard insurance-approved locks?

Yes. We supply and fit a full range of British Standard (BS3621, TS007 etc.) locks for uPVC, composite and timber doors. These locks meet most home insurance requirements and offer improved protection against drilling, snapping and picking.

Do you also repair uPVC doors and windows?

We don’t just change cylinders – we also repair and adjust uPVC doors and windows, including multipoint locking systems, gearboxes, hinges and handles. If your door is hard to lock, scraping or not closing properly, we can usually repair it instead of replacing the whole unit.
