Emergency Locksmith
Locked out, snapped key, or broken lock? On-site response within 30-60 minutes typically. Non-destructive entry where possible.
From £75Shop, office, holiday let, warehouse? Get matched with a commercial locksmith for master key systems, access control, emergency callouts, and security upgrades — Cornwall-wide.
Commercial premises have different lock needs to homes — higher footfall, multiple key holders, insurance and regulatory requirements, and the cost of being locked out is much higher (lost trading hours, missed deliveries, security breaches).

Everything you need to know about commercial locksmith in Cornwall.
A master key system uses lock cylinders configured so that each user has a key that opens only their door, while a master key opens all of them. Useful for offices (manager has master, staff have individual office keys), holiday lets (cleaner master key, guest individual key), and retail (manager opens all, staff open till areas only). Costs from £400-£800 for a typical small system.
Yes — most commercial locksmiths in Cornwall fit keypad locks, fob readers, and mobile-app access systems. Smart-lock installation typically costs £250-£800 per door depending on the system. Networked access control (multiple doors, central admin) is a bigger project — quoted after a site survey.
Two popular options: keypad locks (you give guests a code, change it between bookings) or smart locks with app control (you generate booking-specific access remotely). Keypads are cheaper (£150-£300 installed); smart locks are more flexible (£300-£800). Both eliminate physical key handovers and lost-key problems.
Same-day for most business emergencies. Daytime response within 1-2 hours typically, prioritised over residential where possible. Out-of-hours (overnight, weekends) is available but premium-priced — useful for security breaches or lockouts blocking opening.
Standard keys can be copied at any key-cutting shop. Restricted-profile keys can only be copied by the original installer or authorised dealer, with written authorisation from the keyholder. Used where unauthorised copying is a risk — schools, offices, holiday lets, healthcare facilities.
