24 Hour Emergency Locksmith in Petersfield
If you are locked out right now, call 07462 185785. Boorer Lock & Safe run a 24 hour mobile emergency service across Petersfield and the surrounding area, and in most cases a door can be opened without damaging it — so you pay for the callout and not a new door.
What counts as an emergency
- Locked out of your home, your business or your vehicle
- Keys lost or stolen, and you need the locks changed tonight
- Key snapped in the lock, or a key that turns and turns without engaging
- A UPVC door that has locked shut and will not open
- Break-in damage that needs the property made secure again
- A safe that will not open, or whose combination has been lost
- A lock that has seized, on a door you cannot leave unlocked
Non-destructive entry comes first
Drilling a lock is the last resort, not the first move. The overwhelming majority of lockouts are opened by manipulation, leaving the existing lock working exactly as it did before. Where a lock has genuinely failed — a snapped cam, a seized mechanism, an anti-snap cylinder that has already done its job — it is replaced there and then, with a lock that meets your insurer’s requirements.
Who turns up
A named, DBS police-checked locksmith with City & Guilds locksmithing qualifications, carrying identification. Not a call-centre subcontractor, and not somebody who quotes one price on the phone and another on the doorstep.
Common questions
Will you damage my door getting me in?
Usually not. Most locks can be opened non-destructively, leaving the lock in full working order. Where a lock has to be drilled — because it has failed mechanically, or is a high-security cylinder that cannot be manipulated — you are told before any work starts, and a replacement is fitted the same visit.
How much does an emergency callout cost?
It depends on the time, the distance and what the lock turns out to be, so you get a figure over the phone before anybody sets off. There is no obligation, and no charge for the call itself.
Do you really answer at 3am?
The mobile number, 07462 185785, is the 24 hour line. The Folly Market workshop keeps normal retail hours; the mobile service does not.
My keys were stolen along with my address — what should I do?
Treat it as urgent and have the locks changed rather than just the keys copied. If the keys are gone with anything identifying where you live, whoever has them knows which door they open. Call the 24 hour line.
Can you secure my property after a break-in?
Yes. Damaged locks are replaced, damaged frames and keeps are repaired or reinforced, and where a door or window cannot be made secure immediately it is boarded so the property is not left open overnight.
