Common reasons for lost keys we can help with
The mobile locksmiths here at Emergency Locksmiths help customers in difficult situations when they’ve lost their keys and can’t get back inside their home.
Our local locksmiths arrive quickly and can gain immediate access no matter how you lost your keys.
These are just some of the most common reasons for lost keys our locksmiths see in Central London, and we can assist with every lost key situation, including:
Lost house keys on a night out
Night’s out are a time to be enjoyed, but if you’ve had a little too much fun, then you can misplace your keys easily, leave them on the bar or in the toilet, and not realise until you get back home. Arriving home late at night or in the early hours of the morning and realising you haven’t got your keys is a nightmare nobody wants to experience, but we’re here 24/7 to get you back inside.
Left your keys behind in a taxi or restaurant
When you have a lot on your mind, it’s easy to leave your keys on the table of a restaurant as you’re getting your money out to pay the bill, or in the back of a taxi. When you arrive home and find you can’t gain access, Emergency Locksmiths are here for you, and we’re only a phone call away. We deal with all kinds of emergency lockouts if you’ve left your keys somewhere else, and can get you inside and cut a new one.
Dropped your keys through a drain
A simple slip of the hand and your keys can be gone forever down a drain or grate in the road. It only takes a second to happen, but you can’t retrieve them. Even though you might be able to see them, you can’t remove the metal cover to get them, and that’s when you need the services of our professional locksmiths.
Lost keys for your home after a move or renovation
Keys are small and easily misplaced, especially when there is the chaos of opening and closing doors to move furniture and other items in and out of the home. They could be covered somewhere in the mess, and you don’t know where they are, or they could be accidentally put on the back of a moving van and are headed across the country. When this is the case, Emergency Locksmiths can help you with a lock rekey if you need a new key.
Tenant has lost the landlord’s keys
Being a landlord comes with all kinds of hazards related to the security of your home and your tenants. If your tenant has lost the keys, we can book a rekeying that can meet you where you are and take a replica of it to give to the tenant. Or, we can meet you both at the property at a time convenient for you to discuss your options. We provide full invoicing if you need to bill the tenant for the lock change service if they’ve lost key.
Keys have been stolen
Robberies are on the rise in London, and keys as well as phones are the target of thieves. Whether it’s just the key that’s been stolen or your whole bag, we recommend that the locks be changed to prevent unauthorised access. At the very least, you should consider having your locks rekeyed if the thieves also stole identifying information that shows where you live. We can provide this service for commercial and residential properties.
Keys taken during a home burglary
Being burgled is stressful enough, but having the keys to the home taken means you can’t remain calm knowing that they could return and gain access to the property again, endangering yourself and family members. We provide full replacement locks for front and back doors, as well as window locks, and in such situations, preventive measures for homes in the London area are often the best course of action.
Accidentally threw your keys out
If you’ve accidentally thrown your keys out in the rubbish and can’t get them back, we can be at your location promptly, and we’re fully equipped to help with a rekey. Whatever type of lock mechanism you have, we offer a rekeying service for existing locks.

FAQs
How much does an emergency locksmith cost?
The cost of locksmith services can vary job to job, as we have the typical call-out fee and then any work you need completing on top of that. Usually, we charge a flat call-out fee wherever you live in London, whether it’s a residential property or a business premises, and then we will present you with a range of options when you’ve lost your keys. To regain access, we might have to pick the lock, which is the cheapest option, but if you are afraid someone might have your keys, then we recommend installing a brand new lock. We’ll always confirm any quotes with you before starting any work.
Is it possible to rekey a lock when the keys have been lost?
Yes, rekeying the lock means you don’t have to change the whole lock, so it’s a simpler and more cost-effective solution. Our team have all of the equipment to rekey a lock, and we can reset the internal parts so an existing key won’t be able to open that same lock again. This is an excellent alternative if you want to change the locks without actually changing the whole lock, and it can be done to any kind of lock, provided it is in good condition. If you have a damaged lock that can’t be rekeyed effectively, we will advise on a new type of lock for the door to secure it.
Can you help if I lose the only key to the house?
It can be worrying when you’ve lost the only key to your house, but when you call Emergency Locksmiths, you can stay calm, as we can help you regain entry to the property. We always aim to use a non-destructive method of entry on even high-security locks, so we don’t damage the lock with drilling or the wooden frame. We might need to replace or even rekey the lock if you’ve lost the only key that opened the door, but our trained fast-response locksmiths can reassure you that you’ll have a perfectly functioning door again in under an hour.
Do I need to change locks if I’ve lost the keys?
When you’ve lost your keys as opposed to locking the keys inside, then there is the concern that someone else could have access to your home. This is especially true if you’ve lost your keys with other identifying information that shows where you live. Our professional locksmiths will always advise you to change the locks on your home if you’ve lost your keys or reprogram a keyless entry system. We can gain entry to the property and then walk you through the best options, which include full replacement of the existing lock or having it rekeyed as a budget-friendly alternative.
How do you get inside if I’ve lost the house key?
Our London locksmith services gain entry to properties every day without the house keys for a wide variety of customers. As we are professional London locksmiths, we can gain access to any kind of door or lock using our specialist tools to pick locks, and we’ll always aim to use a non-destructive method. Drilling is the last resort for door entry, and we can even bypass digital locks using advanced techniques. If you have a broken lock, our emergency locksmith services can extract broken keys, and we offer a full lock service for Yale locks, Banham locks, Union locks, and many more.
