Broken Key Replacement & Spare Key Replacement in Southend
Cold temperatures and everyday wear can weaken keys, often resulting in them snapping inside the lock. Broken key call-outs are especially common in older properties around Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff and Prittlewell.
Our locksmiths can safely extract broken keys and assess whether the existing lock can be repaired or should be replaced. We also provide spare key replacements for homeowners, landlords and businesses, helping prevent future lockouts.

If you’ve recently moved property or manage rental accommodation, arranging spare keys early can save time, stress and expense later on.
