There are few feelings more frustrating than realising you’re locked out of your home, seeing a key snapped in the lock, or losing your only set of car keys. In these moments of panic, you need a locksmith you can trust to provide a solution, not another problem.
As a fully qualified locksmith with over 15 years of experience in locksmithing, we’ve seen and heard it all. At Locks on Sea, our goal is to be the reliable, expert voice you need at the other end of the phone when you need it most. Here’s a quick guide to handling these common but stressful situations.
1. Locked Out? Don’t Panic. Call.
Whether it’s your home or your vehicle, the first rule is simple: do not try to force the lock. Attempting a DIY solution with makeshift tools often causes more damage and can lead to a much more expensive repair. The quickest and safest way to regain access is to call a professional.
- Locked out of your house? We provide a rapid-response service for all home lockouts. We can open your door with minimal damage, getting you back inside quickly and without any extra hassle. We’re available 24/7 because we know these things are never planned.
- Locked keys in your car? This is a stressful situation, especially if you’re in a hurry or in a rush. As a specialist auto locksmith, we can regain access to your vehicle more quickly and affordably than local car dealerships. We use professional tools to ensure your vehicle is not damaged in the process.
2. Upgrading Your Home Security with New Locks
Lock changes are one of the most crucial steps you can take to protect your home. It’s a powerful act that gives you back control and peace of mind.
- Just moved into a new house? The first thing you should do is change the locks. You never know who the previous owners gave spare keys to. This simple step is the ultimate locksmith solution for a new house and is highly recommended by police and security experts.
- Had a set of keys go missing? Don’t take the risk. A swift and professional lock change to your external doors is the most effective way to secure your property and eliminate any worry.
- Want to upgrade your security? We can fit high-security, anti-snap locks that meet insurance standards, giving you maximum protection against modern burglary techniques.
3. Need a New or Spare Car Key?
Losing your car keys can feel like a disaster. The good news is that as a local locksmith, we can provide a new key, often without the need for a costly visit to a dealership.
- Lost your only car key? We can generate a new one from scratch. We have the technology to program modern transponder keys and remotes for most makes and models of vehicles.
- Need a spare car key? It’s a great idea to have a backup. We can cut and program a new key for you, which could save you a significant amount of stress and money down the line if you ever lose your main set. We offer a competitive price for car key replacement and would be happy to discuss a quotation if required.
