Emergency locksmith in Hamble?
If you need someone now, call us on 07453327708 and we will be on our way. Whether you are stuck down by Hamble Quay, near the marinas at Hamble Point or Mercury Yacht Harbour, or up towards Hamble railway station, the trip from Holbury is a short one.

Locked out in Hamble?
Locked out is the call we get most, and most of the time we are in without any damage to your door. We use non-destructive entry wherever the lock allows, which starts from £80, so you keep your existing cylinder and you are not paying for a new lock you did not need. Snapped your key in the door? Broken key removal starts from £15, and we will usually get the rest out without touching the lock body.
Need a lock change in Hamble?
Lock changes start from £90, and we carry common cylinders and mortice locks in the van. If you have just moved into a place near Satchell Lane or off Hamble Common, or a tenant has handed back keys you cannot account for, it is worth changing the lock straight away. Where your home insurance asks for it, we fit proper BS3621 insurance-grade locks so you are covered and not caught out on a claim.
A word on uPVC doors in Hamble
A lot of homes around Hamble have uPVC doors, and the weak point is almost always the euro cylinder. The cheap ones can be snapped in seconds, so if your cylinder is the original builder’s fitting, ask us about an anti-snap replacement. It is a small job that makes a real difference, and we will tell you honestly if yours is already a decent one and does not need changing.
Key safes for carers and holiday lets
If you have carers visiting, or you let a place out near the water, a police-approved key safe saves a lot of bother. We fit key safes from £120 fitted, mounted properly into solid brick rather than soft mortar where they can be pulled off.
Areas near Hamble we also cover
Hamble sits close to plenty of places we work in every week. We are regularly over in Botley and Hedge End, and we cover our home patch across the Waterside too.
Hamble locksmith FAQs
How quickly can you get to Hamble?
Under 30 minutes from our Waterside base in normal conditions. We will give you an honest idea of timing when you call, never a made-up promise.
Do you charge a call-out fee or VAT?
No on both counts. The figure we quote you on the phone is what you pay, with no call-out fee and no VAT added on top.
Will you damage my door getting me in?
In most cases, no. We pick or manipulate the lock with non-destructive entry first, and only ever drill as a last resort, which we would explain to you before doing anything.
