After-Hours Locksmith in Alberton
Evening, night, weekend and public holiday locksmith call-outs — Alberton and Ekurhuleni.
Most locksmith problems do not observe business hours. A lockout at 10 pm on a Saturday, a gate lock that fails at 11 pm after a long day, a key left at the office on a Sunday morning — these are exactly the situations Alberton Locks is set up to handle. We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including public holidays.
What We Attend After Hours
- Residential lockouts — homes, flats, townhouses, and estate properties
- Car lockouts — at home, at a shopping centre, roadside
- Business lockouts — offices, shopfronts, warehouses discovered inaccessible in the evening or over a weekend
- Broken key in a lock — home or vehicle
- Damaged or seized lock that will not open or close
After-Hours Pricing

- Residential lockout (after hours): from R500–R700
- Car lockout (after hours): from R550–R750
- Commercial lockout (after hours): from R550–R800
Areas We Cover After Hours
Staying Safe While You Wait
If you are locked out at night, prioritise your safety over speed. If you are at home, a neighbour’s house or a well-lit nearby space is better than standing in the street. If you are in a vehicle, stay inside with doors locked until we arrive. Call us and we will confirm our ETA so you know how long to wait.
