Yes. Kensington Lock & Key accepts emergency locksmith enquiries 24 hours a day across Kensington and nearby areas, subject to availability. Call for the current response estimate.
How quickly can a locksmith reach me?
Arrival time depends on traffic, your exact location and the locksmith’s current job. When you call, we will give you a realistic estimate rather than a guaranteed time we may not be able to meet.

The price depends on the time, lock type, work required and any replacement parts. We provide an upfront quotation based on the information available and confirm any change before completing additional work.

We work with common domestic and commercial lock types, including euro cylinders, rim cylinders, night latches, mortice locks and many UPVC multipoint mechanisms.
