Whether you're a homeowner or a renter, it's hard to know who to call when the lock jams or the keys vanish. That’s where we come in. Checkatrade can help you find a local locksmith working near you who's been checked and reviewed.

We work with locksmiths in various areas across Coventry and the West Midlands, including Earlsdon, Binley, Tile Hill and beyond.

What to expect from hiring an emergency locksmith service in Coventry

Emergency locksmiths are locksmiths who are available round the clock, from late-night lockouts to early morning emergencies. Here’s what you can expect.

Common jobs:

  • Gaining entry when you’re locked out
  • Repairing or replacing broken locks
  • Removing snapped keys
  • Boarding up after break-ins
  • Cutting new keys
  • Upgrading to smart or high-security locks

Typical costs:

  • Call-out fee: Around £100
  • Hourly rate: £80 to £200
  • Lock repair or change: £90 - £200
  • Boarding up: From £200

Costs can vary based on time of day, parts needed and the type of lock. Ask for a full quote upfront to avoid surprises. For more info, see our guide to locksmith prices.

What’s included:

  • Labour
  • Emergency call-out fee
  • Tools and basic materials
  • Advice on future-proofing your locks

Qualifications to check: Locksmiths in the UK aren’t legally required to be licensed, but always ask about:

  • Public liability insurance
  • Relevant locksmith training
  • Membership of organisations like the Master Locksmith Association (MLA)

Timeframes: Most emergency locksmiths aim to arrive within 30 minutes. Quick fixes (like unlocking a standard door) may take as little as 15 minutes, but more complex repairs can take longer.

Emergency locksmith service in Coventry: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners: If you own your home, you’re usually responsible for all lock repairs and replacements. Keep records of the work done in case you need to claim on insurance.

Renters: If you rent, your landlord is typically responsible for lock issues – especially after a break-in or faulty mechanism. But if you’ve lost your keys or damaged the lock, you might need to cover the cost. Always:

  • Contact your landlord or letting agent ASAP
  • Check your tenancy agreement
  • Get approval before hiring a locksmith (unless it’s an emergency)

In an urgent situation, you can still call an emergency locksmith, but let your landlord know as soon as possible. Make sure you get a receipt.

  • What services are provided by an emergency locksmith?

    Emergency locksmiths are available out of regular working hours. If you find yourself locked out of your home late at night, an emergency locksmith can help.

    Services provided by emergency locksmiths in Coventry include:

    • Burglary lock repairs

    • Replacing lost or damaged house and car keys

    • Unlocking damaged locks

    • Door lock repairs - removing stuck key from lock, for example

    • Upgrading locks

    • Cutting spare keys

    • Boarding up after a burglary

    • Repairing damaged locks and keys

    • Helping you to gain entry to your home if you’re locked out

    Emergency locksmiths typically offer the same services as a regular locksmith, but do so outside of standard working hours.

  • What should I do if I’m locked out?

    Getting locked out of your home can be a stressful experience, but it’s important to remain calm. Help is available to get you back inside.

    If you find yourself locked out, here are the steps to take:

    1. Check for spare keys in case you left one in a safe place outside your home or with a neighbour, friend or family member

    2. Try gaining entry without damaging your property such as through an alternative door that might be open

    3. Avoid forceful entry or picking the lock yourself as you could damage the lock and door which will cost more to repair

    4. Contact a locksmith – we have plenty of locksmiths here at Checkatrade, so see who works locally to you and check out their reviews to see if they're the right choice for you

    5. Contact your home insurance policy to see if it covers the cost of emergency lockout services (they may reimburse you for the cost of a locksmith)

    If you hire a locksmith when locked out, make sure you get proper documentation for any work done – especially if you plan on making a home insurance claim.

    Who should I call if I'm locked out?

    One of the best options for who to call when you're locked out of your house, flat, or business premises is a locksmith - or, even better, an emergency locksmith who can travel to you ASAP.

  • Do locksmiths offer 24/7 services?

    Yes, many locksmiths will offer 24/7 services to cover emergencies – such as being locked out of your home.

    Some locksmiths even specialise solely in emergency work and will typically be available through the night to the early hours.

    It’s worth noting that locksmiths usually charge a higher callout fee and hourly rate for jobs outside of standard working hours.

    When contacting locksmiths working locally in Coventry, it’s worth asking what their charges are for 24/7 services before hiring them.
