Losing your house keys is one of those things that makes your stomach drop. One minute you’re reaching into your pocket… the next you’re standing on your doorstep, wondering where they’ve gone and who might have them.
It’s stressful. We get it. But it’s also something we deal with every single day, and it’s a much quicker fix than most people expect.
Whether your keys have genuinely gone missing, fallen out somewhere on the way home, or disappeared along with a stolen bag or wallet, we can help you sort it properly. Not just getting back inside, but making sure your home is secure afterwards too. If you’ve actually lost your keys rather than locked them inside, this page covers what to do.
If you’re locked out because you’ve lost your keys, the first thing we’ll do is get you back into your home. We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, so there’s no damage to your door or lock. In most cases, you won’t even know we were there, except that you’re back inside.
Once you’re in, that’s when the real conversation starts.
This is the question we get asked most, and the honest answer is: it depends on where you think your keys are.Find out whether you need a rekey or full lock change.
If your keys are simply lost, somewhere at home, dropped in the street, or left at a friend’s, rekeying is usually the right call. It’s faster, cheaper, and does exactly what you need. We change the existing lock cylinder so your old keys no longer work, and we offer a set of 3 to 5 keys on the spot. Your lock stays the same. Your old keys are useless. Job done. Had to rekey after losing your keys? You can also have all your locks keyed alike at the same time.
If your keys could be in the wrong hands, such as a stolen bag, lost wallet, anything like that.. we’d recommend a full lock replacement. In that situation, rekeying isn’t enough because someone could potentially have your address, too. In cases like these, we’ll remove the old lock entirely and fit a new insurance-approved lock that meets British Standards (BS3621). Most times, this lock change service gives you a proper fresh start and real peace of mind.
Not sure which applies to you? Just call us, and we’ll talk it through. We’ll give you an honest answer, not just the more expensive option.
Is it the first time you’ve called an emergency locksmith service? Here’s what to expect from start to finish:
1. You call us. We’ll respond anytime, day or night. We’ll ask a few quick questions about your lock problem and your location. Quickly after that, we’ll get someone heading your way straight away.
2. We arrive within around 30 minutes. We’re based in Chelsea SW3, so we’re never far away from the areas we cover.
3. You get back inside. Most times, we use non-destructive methods as standard. We rarely need to force a lock or damage a door.
4. We advise you on the next steps after we assess the lock situation. Rekey or replace, we’ll explain the options clearly so you can decide what’s right for you.
5. After will carry out the work on the spot. As soon as we get there, we will carry a wide range of locks and all the tools needed, so there’s no waiting around for a second visit.
6. We offer the full set of 3-5 new original keys. When changing locks, you get original keys for any family members who need a spare key.
7. We check everything is secure before we leave. You can be sure we will check the doors, frames and locks. You won’t be left wondering.
Most lost key jobs are sorted completely within the same visit.
If you do need a lock replacement, we carry all important insurance-approved locks. If you’ve lost your keys and need an insurance-approved replacement, start here. When calling our locksmith, you’ll get a replacement on the spot from leading brands including Yale, Banham, Ingersoll, Mul-T-Lock, Ultion, ABS and more. You can be sure we’ll meet British Standard BS3621 when installing the locks.
Why is this important? Well, this matters because many home insurance policies in the UK require a BS3621 lock on your front door. If your lock doesn’t meet that standard, a claim could be affected. We’ll make sure whatever we fit is right for your insurance. Moreover, we’d recommend keeping your invoice from us as proof that the locks were changed. Sometimes, insurers will reimburse the cost if keys are lost or stolen. We will make sure you get the right invoice right after the job is done.
When calling a locksmith, it’s worth checking your policy. Many home insurers cover lock or key replacement when keys are lost or stolen. If that applies to you, hold onto our invoice, as it proves the locks have been changed and your home is secured. This is exactly what they’ll want to see in case you need to make any claim.
If you’re not sure whether you’re covered, give your insurer a quick call after we’ve sorted the locks. We are here to assist you in case you need more details.
