How fast can Swift Locksmith get to me?

+

For emergency lockouts across Birmingham and nearby areas, we usually aim to arrive within 30–90 minutes. The exact time depends on your location, traffic and locksmith availability, so call ahead and we'll give you a realistic estimate.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

+

No. You're given a clear price before any work begins, so there are no surprise call-out charges on the invoice.

Will you damage my door to get me in?

+

We always try non-destructive entry methods first. If the lock genuinely needs to be drilled or replaced, we'll explain why and quote before doing any work.

Do you work outside normal business hours?

+

Yes, we take emergency call-outs outside standard hours for both domestic and commercial customers.

Can you replace UPVC door locks?

+

Yes. UPVC multipoint locking mechanisms are one of our most common domestic jobs, including snapped euro-cylinders and misaligned door faults.

Do you cover commercial properties as well as homes?

+

Yes, we handle both. Commercial work includes shop fronts, master key systems, access control and out-of-hours cover for landlords and businesses.

What areas does Swift Locksmith cover?

+

We're based in Birmingham and fully mobile across the city and surrounding areas including Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, West Bromwich and Coventry. See our Areas We Cover page for the full list.

Can you cut spare keys on site?
