Need help now? Call rather than wait for an online reply. Ask for the current arrival estimate for your location.
Lock opening, repairs & emergency replacement
The right solution depends on the fault. We assess whether the door needs opening, the existing lock can be repaired, or a replacement is needed to restore security.
Home & apartment lockouts
Keys left inside, lost keys or a door that has shut behind you? We help restore access and assess whether the existing lock can remain in use.
Broken or stuck keys
A snapped key or a key that will not turn needs careful assessment. We can check the cylinder, remove a broken key where possible and advise on repair or replacement.
Doors that won’t open or lock
A stiff handle, jammed mechanism or misaligned door can prevent proper locking. We investigate the cause, including uPVC and multi-point locking faults.
Emergency lock replacement
If a lock is damaged or keys are missing, replacement may be needed. We explain suitable options for your door and the work required.
Commercial locksmith assistance
Help with office and shop lockouts, faulty door locks and premises that cannot be secured at closing time. Tell us about any specialist hardware when calling.
Locks damaged after a break-in
We assess damaged locks and discuss the work needed to secure the entrance. Tell us if the frame, glass or door itself is also damaged.
Door and lock types we work with
Different doors use different locking mechanisms. Let us know what you have so we can assess the problem and any likely parts requirements.
- uPVC, composite and timber door locks.
- Euro cylinders, Yale-style locks and night latches.
- Mortice locks and deadlocks.
- Multi-point locking systems.
- Apartment, office and shop door locks.
- Patio, sliding and garage door locks.
Specialist lock or safe?
For safes, cabinets, padlocks or unusual locking systems, call with the make and a description of the fault. We can confirm the appropriate service and availability before arranging a visit.
Repair or replace?
A lock problem does not always require a complete replacement. The condition of the cylinder, mechanism and door determines the appropriate repair.

What happens when you call?
Describe the problem
Call 1800 51 51 51 with your location and explain what the door or key is doing. Mention whether the property is currently unsecured.
Confirm the callout details
Ask about availability, the estimated arrival time and the likely charges. Some faults need an on-site assessment before the final repair can be priced.
Agree the work
The locksmith assesses the fault and explains the proposed work and price before starting. Once complete, the door and lock are checked for correct operation.
How much does an emergency locksmith cost?
The cost depends on your location, the time of the callout, the lock type and the work required. Opening a closed door is a different job from replacing a failed multi-point mechanism.
Call for an estimate and explain the symptoms as clearly as possible. If parts or additional work are needed, ask for the total before authorising the repair.
What to confirm when booking
- The callout or attendance charge, if applicable.
- What labour is included in the estimate.
- Whether replacement parts would cost extra.
- Whether VAT is included in the quoted total.
- Any evening, weekend or overnight charges.

Emergency locksmith FAQs
Are you available for emergency callouts at night?
Dyno Locks offers a 24-hour emergency locksmith service for Dublin and nearby areas. Call 1800 51 51 51 to confirm current availability and an estimated arrival time.
How quickly can a locksmith reach me?
Timing depends on your location, traffic and the nearest available locksmith. Give us your address or Eircode when you call so we can provide a current estimate.
Can you open my door without damaging the lock?
This depends on the lock type and the reason it will not open. Non-destructive entry may be possible, but a failed or damaged lock can require a different approach or replacement. The locksmith will explain the proposed method.
What should I do if my key breaks in the lock?
Stop trying to turn the remaining piece and avoid pushing anything into the keyway. Keep the broken part and call for assistance. The cylinder can be checked to see whether extraction is sufficient or further work is needed.
Can you help if my uPVC door handle will not lift?
Yes, we assess uPVC door and multi-point locking problems. A handle that will not lift can involve alignment or a mechanism fault. Avoid forcing it and explain whether the door is open or closed when you call.
Will I need to show that I can access the property?
Be prepared to provide identification and evidence that you are authorised to enter. If your documents are locked inside, explain this when booking so the locksmith can discuss how access authority can be checked.
Should I change my locks after losing my keys?
It depends on the circumstances, including whether the keys could be linked to your address. Discuss the situation with the locksmith. Rekeying a compatible lock or replacing the cylinder may be appropriate.
Can I book through the enquiry form?
Yes, use the form below for an enquiry. If you are currently locked out or cannot secure your property, call 1800 51 51 51 rather than waiting for an online response. A submitted enquiry is not a confirmed callout.
