Emergency Locksmiths

Lockouts, broken keys and forced locks — mobile units on call every hour of the year, with an arrival window and a price given on the phone.

24/7 Emergency Locksmith Service

Somebody is on call every hour of the day, every day of the year, including the public holidays when most workshops are shut. When you phone, you are told who is coming, roughly how long they will be and what the call-out costs, so the decision is yours before anyone leaves.

We open homes, business premises and vehicles without damaging the door wherever that can be done, and we repair or replace locks that have been forced, jammed or snapped off. If a break-in has left an entrance standing open, say so on the phone — ES Locksmith Services will send replacement hardware out with the technician rather than making a second trip for it.

When Do You Need an Emergency Locksmith?

  • Locked out of your home at night
  • Keys locked inside your car
  • Lost or stolen keys
  • Broken key in lock
  • Lock damaged in break-in attempt
  • Locked out of office or business premises
  • Malfunctioning lock that won't open or close

What Happens Between Your Call and Our Arrival

Whoever takes the call asks where you are, what kind of door or vehicle is involved and whether anyone is shut in or standing outside alone, because those answers decide who gets sent and what they load into the van. You are given an arrival window rather than a vague promise, and a message if the traffic changes it. Being left on a pavement with no idea when help is coming is the part we take most seriously.

Still standing outside? Phone now and we will tell you who is coming and when they will reach you.

Vans Stocked for the Job in Hand

Our mobile units work from points spread around Cape Town, each one carrying picks, extraction tools, replacement cylinders and the lock hardware that emergency call-outs usually need. That is why most jobs finish on the first visit instead of ending with a boarded-up door and a return appointment. If a part genuinely has to be ordered in, we secure the opening first and tell you what the follow-up will cost before we leave.
