Whatever the time, day or night, if you’re locked out, we can help. We operate 24/7 across Barnsley and the surrounding areas of South Yorkshire, providing our services to both domestic and commercial customers who have locked themselves out.

Contact family and friends in the area
Maybe you lent a member of your family a key or gave one of your neighbours a spare key just in case of such an event. It could be that you left a spare key with a neighbour whilst you were away on holiday? If so you can open your door as normal and get a new key cut from the spare!

Don’t attempt any DIY lock picking
Yes, they make it look straightforward on TV, but in reality attempting to pick a lock yourself without any prior experience and training, or even the right tools could lead to a considerable amount of damage. Then, not only are you still locked out, but you’ll also have even more expensive repair bill to pay for!

Reach out to your neighbours
This depends on your relationship with the people around you, but if you’re close with your neighbour you could see if they would kindly make you a brew, or let you wait inside for half an hour until our local Barnsley locksmith arrives to assist you and get you back inside your property.

Emergency Assistance for Lock Outs
While every situation is completely unique, we believe that being locked out of your property certainly constitutes an emergency, which is exactly why we treat it as such. In an emergency situation, you don’t want to be left alone waiting for hours for help to arrive.
Instead, you want (and need) the help of a trained professional as soon as possible. Which is exactly what you get when you choose Barnsley Lock & Key.
Why Place Your Trust in a Local Company
Unfortunately, we’ve seen first-hand customers who have contacted a national locksmith company that promised fast callouts from locksmiths in the area; only to be left waiting for hours out in the cold! This is because most national companies use sub-contractors and as such they priorities their own workload first, which means more often than not you get pushed down the queue! More importantly, many national companies do not vet their locksmiths to the extent we do, so you can never be quite sure who is turning up!
Instead, we strongly recommend using a truly local company that is based in Barnsley – like us! Due to the fact we’re based in the area, we can minimise travel time and get to you in the quickest possible time, usually within 60 minutes. Additionally, we are focussed on ensuring our customer care is of the highest standard, we can’t afford to let customers down, our reputation depends on you!

How to Avoid Being Locked Out of Your House in Barnsley
If you have had bad experiences in the past or are just hyper-aware and concerned about getting stuck outside your home with the door locked, we have some tips for you. We suggest you should consider the following:
Invest in and Install One or More Accredited Police-Approved Key Safes
An accredited key safe installed by one of our professional locksmiths allows you to keep extra keys in a safe place that you can use if you ever have an emergency. Key safes offer the benefit of being incredibly secure and the only way anyone could gain access without permission is with an angle grinder, providing you with extra peace of mind.
Regularly Service Existing locks Around Your Home and Business
Ensure that every 6 to 12 months your locks are serviced properly in order to keep them in perfect working order. The key thing you need to remember when it comes to lock maintenance is that you should only use PTFE lubricant when working on multi-point locking mechanisms and graphite powder lubricant for conventional euro locks.
