Locked Out in Wakefield

So, you’ve locked yourself out of your Wakefield home. Don’t panic – it happens to everyone!

Whether you’ve lost your keys, your key has snapped in the lock, or you simply can’t get in, we’re here to help. At Wakefield Lock & Key, we provide our expert locksmith services to anyone locked out in Wakefield.

Our experienced locksmiths can help you to gain entry to your home using non-destructive methods, and get you back indoors in no time at all.

If you’re locked out in Wakefield, call your local locksmith now on 01924 378444 and we’ll be with you within the hour.

Avoid national locksmith companies who claim to be local - deal with a genuinely local, friendly locksmith company.

Why Choose Wakefield Lock & Key When You’re Locked Out?

Over the past three decades, we’ve worked hard to deliver the best services to our customers. So it’s no wonder we’re the first port of call for Wakefield residents when they’ve locked themselves out.

We’re proud to offer:

  • Rapid response times
  • No call-out fees (between 8am-5pm, Mon-Fri)
  • Free quotes & estimates with no obligation
  • Local Wakefield-based locksmiths
  • Fully guaranteed services
  • Accredited & experienced technicians

What Should I Do If I’m Locked Out?

We know that being locked out of your property can be an extremely distressing situation, but there are a couple of things you can do to minimise this stress and stay safe during this scenario.

  • Call your family and friends, is there anyone who has a spare key and lives locally?
  • Call your local locksmith! Unless you have access to a spare key, you’ll need the professional help of a locksmith to gain entry to your property. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can attend your property.
  • Put down the credit cards and hair clips – it might work in films, but realistically you’re not going to crack your door open with ease. Instead, you could damage the door or the lock or even snap your bank cards; so we recommend leaving it to the professionals.
  • See if your neighbours are in. If it’s dark and cold, the last thing you want is to stand outside on your own until we arrive. Try knocking on your neighbours’ doors and see if they’ll let you seek refuge for half an hour or so until we can get to you.

Emergency Locksmiths for When You’re Locked Out in Wakefield

Being locked out of your home or workplace is absolutely an emergency situation. In these circumstances, the last thing you want is an unreliable national locksmith claiming to be local who will take 6 hours to get to you.

Instead, you need a trustworthy locksmith who actually lives in the area and can attend your property in under an hour – like Wakefield Lock & Key! Our emergency locksmith services are available 24/7 across Wakefield and the surrounding areas of West Yorkshire, so you can rest easy knowing that whenever you may need us, we’re on hand to help.

Whatever the time, if you’re locked out of your Wakefield home please call us now on 01924 378444 and we’ll be with you as soon as we possibly can.

Common Locked Out Scenarios

There’s nothing to be embarrassed about – everyone manages to lock themselves out of their home at least once in their lives! It can happen to anyone at any time – let’s take a look at some of the most common locked-out scenarios that we attend:

  • You’ve left the house in a rush and the keys are still inside, but your door has locked behind you.
  • You locked the door as usual when you left, but you’ve managed to lose your keys at some point throughout the day.
  • You can’t find your keys and you haven’t left a spare anywhere.
  • You’ve tried to unlock your door, but the key has snapped in the lock.
  • Your key has jammed inside the lock and you can’t turn it at all.
  • Your lock is broken or your key is damaged.

Whatever the issue, we’ll solve the problem in no time and have you safe and sound inside in under an hour.

Non-Destructive Entry in Wakefield

Worried about damage to your door? Many people are apprehensive about calling a locksmith as they can’t afford a new door or replacement lock, but don’t worry! Here at Wakefield Lock & Key, we’ll always do everything we can to get you back into your home in a non-destructive manner.

Thanks to our specialist knowledge, training and years of experience, we know which techniques to use with different door and lock types to open your locked door.

In some cases, it may be necessary to damage the lock in order to gain access – but this will always be explained to you beforehand. We’ll always use a variety of non-destructive methods first, relying only on destructive methods where it’s absolutely necessary.

Great company, saved us a fortune by finding a part for our Ingersoll lock rather than replacing the whole lock which was a few hundred pounds- they knew we were prepared to pay that if necessary.Also sourced some handles for our patio doors which we had been told were obsolete. Both Jim the locksmith and Ethan in the shop were a pleasure to work with.

Having finally got rid of the tenants from hell Ash was with us within an hour of calling. He was very forgiving of the stinking cesspit he had to walk into and quickly ensured our future security.

Upon losing my home keys whilst I was out I contacted Wakefield Lock and Key Centre to ask for their help. The staff in the shop and the locksmith who came to do the job were very helpful and courteous, and the locksmith explained what he was doing and why (he had to replace the lock). A great response to a less than ideal situation!
