Colchester FAQ
Can’t see yours here? Call and ask — someone picks up at any hour of the day or night.
Normally 30 to 60 minutes, and the roads empty out after the evening, so Lexden, Prettygate, Greenstead, Highwoods and Old Heath are all much the same as the centre. We will give you a real estimate on the phone before you agree to anything, and tell you if it is going to be longer rather than letting you sit and wonder.
Yes, and any locksmith worth calling will ask. It is the only thing that stops us opening doors for the wrong person. Photo ID, a letter or bill addressed to you at the property, or a tenancy agreement all work, and if you have none of those to hand we will tell you what else will do. If you are a tenant locked out of your own home, we can help as long as you can show you live there.
Yes — Lexden, Prettygate, Shrub End, Berechurch, Monkwick, Old Heath, Greenstead, Mile End and Highwoods, and out to Stanway, Wivenhoe, West Bergholt, Marks Tey, Tiptree and Brightlingsea. CO1 through CO4 is where we go most often, not a boundary. Tell us the postcode and we will tell you the time.
Near enough to matter. It depends on not running everything from one yard, and we do not — our locksmiths work from across Colchester and the area around it, so a locksmith near me Colchester search should put someone with you in 30 to 60 minutes whatever the hour. If you typed locksmith urgente Colchester or SOS locksmith Colchester instead, you have still reached the right number. Give us your postcode on the phone and we will tell you the real time before you agree to anything.
Do not force it. A key that will not turn can be a worn key, a dirty or damaged cylinder or a bolt that has dropped out of line with the frame, and forcing it risks snapping the key in the lock. If it is a uPVC or composite door with a multipoint lock, try lifting the handle fully before turning the key. If that does not work, ring us: we can usually open it without damage and tell you whether it needs a repair or a new lock.
Call. Standing outside your own front door at night, a door that has been forced open or a key snapped in the lock are all reasons not to wait. If it genuinely can wait until morning we will say so on the phone.
SOS locksmith Colchester, locksmith urgente Colchester or a locksmith near me in Colchester — one number, 30 to 60 minutes, anywhere from CO1 to CO4, any hour of any day.
