Whenever my family gets in trouble with faulty locks and doors, I turn to Vincent Locksmith for their help. They’re quick on their feet, efficient, and careful in handling our locks.
One of the reasons why I trust Vincent Locksmith is that they work fast. When I called them over to fix a faulty lock so early in the morning, I didn’t expect them to arrive at my doorstep just a few minutes later.
Knowing that the timing was inconvenient (as the shop just opened that day), I was happy that my assigned locksmith accommodated my request.
Plus, he only charged me for the service and not for the travel expense. I made sure to give him a tip before he left.
I asked him if he had other locksmiths who could cover for him in case there were multiple job orders that day, and he said he was the only one on call.
The small team didn’t throw me off, but I did wish the team was a little bigger to accommodate multiple job orders in a single day.
I checked the schedule and noticed that hours were a lot shorter on Saturdays, so I made a mental note of that the next time I need Vincent Lockmsith’s help.
Pros
- Reasonable rates
- Fast and efficient locksmith services
Cons
- Short weekend hours
- Small team
Customer Reviews

Punctual locksmith
“After calling around a few locksmiths, Vincent Locksmith had the best price for letterbox key replacement and had the best call service. Was able to do same day replacement at the same price too, which I was quite surprised and thankful for. The two workers that came were also very sweet and efficient, solving it in less than 15 minutes. They were also very punctual and gave me a heads-up before arriving. Highly recommended”—Jolibean, Google Reviews
2. AA Urgent Locksmith

AA Urgent Locksmith is open every day and operates on longer hours, which to me is always a great advantage, especially for emergency cases.
I heard about this locksmith from a cousin who had trouble with his front door lock. He couldn’t get his key to turn the lock and open his door (always a bummer, especially when you’re already running late to work!).
Luckily, AA Urgent Locksmith picked up his call and quickly made arrangements to visit his flat. The locksmith arrived after an hour and examined the door.
My cousin noted that the locksmith not only found the cause of the problem but also offered to repair the lock altogether.
The replacement had a separate fee, but my cousin obliged and entrusted the repair to AA Urgent Locksmith. Overall, my cousin was satisfied and didn’t encounter a faulty lock since then.
Another time AA Urgent Locksmith came to the rescue was when my friend couldn’t get her car key to open her car door.
She called AA Urgent Locksmith and explained the situation. The locksmith arrived promptly and arranged to fix the car key first before suggesting getting a replacement altogether.
Within just a few minutes, the locksmith was able to get the car key to work again and even gave suggestions on how to properly troubleshoot the key in case another incident like this would happen again.
Both my friend and cousin were satisfied with the service but did mention the rates. The locksmith wasn’t super transparent with it during the initial call.
AA Urgent Locksmith also had a small team, which may not pose big problems but could potentially hold back customers if there were several job orders on that same day.
Pros
- Long operating hours
- Best for car key services
Cons
- Rate transparency could improve
- Small team
Customer Reviews
Fast and efficient service

Extremely professional
“David removed an jammed door lock before replacing it with a new door lock. He was extremely professional in the dismantling and installation process. Total time taken was about 15-20mins. Good service.”—Bernard Ong, Google Reviews

When it comes to choosing the best locksmiths in Singapore, punctuality should be a top priority. For Locksmiths in Singapore, getting to a client in need on time is a feature they are known for.
The locksmith has over 20 years of industry experience, repairing and fixing all types of locks, except for car keys.
That’s probably one of the few drawbacks I noticed from this locksmith. They can manage lots of faulty locks and doors, but it would be nice if they also extend their services to fixing car keys.
Anyway, my experience working with Locksmiths in Singapore was pleasant. The locksmith was polite, punctual, and very professional.
However, it took me quite some time to get someone from the company to pick up my calls and texts. I can only imagine how frustrating it may be during emergency situations.
On a more positive note, Locksmiths in Singapore covers a wide service area. Whether you’re located near Orchard or Tampines, the company can send over a trustworthy locksmith.
Pros
- Known for being punctual
- Over 20 years of industry experience
Cons
- Lacks car key services
- Slow response rate
Customer Reviews
Competitive pricing
“My key snapped into my door lock and I couldn’t take it out. James was very quick to respond, and arrived in under 30 minutes. He was able to take it out between 5 and 10 minutes. Professional and polite. Also very good rates compared to competitors! Thank you again James!”—Yuji Hoshi, Google Reviews
Punctuality at its finest
“Fast to arrive, then unlocked my door in 30 seconds and even fix it!! It was not working properly since years, now feels like new! 5 stars of course !! Very good price ! Thanks !”—Olivier Gallet, Google Reviews
4. Botak Locksmiths

| SERVICES | Lock repair, digital door lock repair, lock installation, unlocking |
Total Scores
I had a friend who once accidentally locked herself out of her flat and immediately looked up Botak Locksmiths since they were open 24/7.
I honestly think it’s a genius idea to have a 24/7 hotline ready for emergency cases, especially when an incident like my friend’s happens at inconvenient hours of the day.
Luckily, Botak Locksmiths were quick to respond to my friend’s call and quickly made their way to her flat.
Since the job order was made in the middle of the night, Botak Locksmith was able to dispatch a technician right away.
In other cases I’ve heard, it usually takes the locksmith company over an hour to send a technician due to the high influx of customers they attend to per day.
The locksmith company has multiple branches across Singapore, which makes getting to your doorstep so much more fuss-free. The wide service area coverage is a huge plus!
Aside from lock repair, Botak Locksmiths can also dispatch trained technicians to fix faulty windows, shutters, and drawers.
They can also conduct key duplications, lock installations, and glass door repairs. All these services can be booked separately with respective service fees.
Speaking of fees, Botak Locksmiths charges relatively higher than other locksmiths I’ve worked with in the past.
Pros
- Open 24/7
- Multiple branches across Singapore
Cons
- Relatively pricey
- High influx of customers

Expert skills
“Mr Yeo helped me fixed a sliding door and a window with expert skillsmanship. The window he fixed in particular was something 4 other contactor said couldn’t guaranteed to be fixed, but he manage to customised a solution to get it fixed. Dedicated and professional. Highly recommended!—Edmund Ong Google Reviews
Outstanding service
“Outstanding service with a heart of gold. We had just moved into Singapore into a rented apartment. My son locked one of the doors and we were so scared. I contacted two locksmiths and these guys helped me so fast and so well.”—Rachel Wardina, Google Reviews

If you’re looking for a locksmith in Singapore that charges a fixed rate, then First Locks is your best bet.
I didn’t have to worry about paying high travel fees just to get a trustworthy locksmith to my home. It was all included in the one-time fee I paid for!
I also really liked that First Locks is open daily. Their operating hours are very ideal for emergency situations too, albeit they’re not open 24/7.
While affordable, hiring First Locks for emergency lockouts will leave you with a high surcharge fee (honestly, not the most ideal situation if you want to avoid additional costs).
Just note that the locksmith company closes for an hour each day, so if you’re in need of their services, make sure to call them before or after the said break.
I called First Locks to get a new lock installed in my flat. I sent them a picture and details of my new lock so that they could bring the necessary tools to install it to my door.
I was happy with the work they did, and they were very knowledgeable about handling the kind of lock I got for my unit.
Aside from lock repairs and installations, First Locks also offers key duplication, door installation, and commercial lock changes.
Pros
- Fixed rate for lockout service
- Open daily
Cons
- Closes for an hour each day
- High surcharge fees for emergencies
Customer Reviews
Smooth communication
“I had a very amazing positive experience with First Locks. I needed 2 bathroom door locks totally replaced, and 3 bedroom lock barrels installed on existing doors. I did not feel comfortable with my local neighbourhood lock smith to do this ‘larger job’ so I spoke to Jenny from First Locks who did the booking for the locksmith Joseph. The service and communication was super smooth. Joseph was super friendly, professional and did a great job on my locks. AAA+ experience to a great team!”—Mr Strong Dude, Google Reviews
Amazing service
“Amazing service. Fast response and very patient from boss(I’m not sure if he is the one I was amazing). Technician was great,very respectful and polite. Did the job quick and explained what he was going to do before he did it. I’m very impressed. Will recommend and use again in the future.”—JJ M, Google Reviews

Need some keys duplicated? Head on over to Min Lee Key Centre for all your key duplication needs.
I remember my mom dropping by this locksmith company when she needed a new set of keys duplicated for my childhood home.
Min Lee Key Centre has loads of key options available, and they all come in different colours.
You can choose to colour-code certain keys if you need an extra set for your home. Since the shop specialises in key duplication, there aren’t many other services you can get from them (which is a bummer).
The head locksmith was very friendly to us and duplicated my mother’s keys ultra-fast. He charged a reasonable fee per duplicated key.
While my mother was satisfied with the service, she did mention that the locksmith didn’t reply to her texts when she first reached out.
That’s why she decided to visit the store in person to see if the locksmith has the key details she required for her unit. Luckily, they did.
Pros
- Reasonable rates
- Best for key duplication
Cons
- Customer service needs improvement
- Slow response rate

One of the best features of Keyeo Locks and Security is that it operates a 24/7 mobile service. This means they can take their workshop to your doorstep, with all the necessary tools on hand.
It’s a pretty cool concept that I think sets them apart from other locksmiths in Singapore. The team is pretty small though, but at least they can get to your unit or car within an hour max!
Plus, they’re open 24/7, making them super ideal for emergency situations in the middle of the night or even the day.
Aside from repairing faulty keys and locks, Keyeo Locks and Security also does key duplication, digital lock installation, and child lock installation.
If you need accident-proof locks, the locksmiths at Keyeo can help you with that. Prices vary depending on the type of service, but I noticed their rates are pretty pricey compared to other locksmiths in Singapore.
Also, unfortunately, there are times when job orders get delayed due to a high influx of requests in a day and the team being small.
Moreover, some reviews online mention the company’s tendency to miss calls or texts. That’s why I wish they’d add more skilled locksmiths to their roster.
Pros
- 24/7 mobile locksmith
- Wide range of key services
Cons
- Relatively pricey
- Small team
Customer Reviews
Genuinely caring
“Joel saved my day! He was outstanding with his support when I needed it the most. I was locked out of my unit due to some issues with my digital lock that I bought from an online seller. I contacted Joel and not only was he was very professional, Joel was genuinely caring, friendly and extremely helpful. He was thorough with his questions and really took the time to explain and share a lot of information in case of potential issues in the future. Joel, keep up your excellent service. I will always remember your thoughtfulness and kindness.”—Nina Raz, Google Reviews
Quick and easy locksmith solutions
“Was able to secure a time slot to duplicate my Honda HISS key pretty quickly. Job took about 30 minutes in total. The duplicated key is rather rough in term of quality with sharp edges, so i have to smoothen it with coarse sand paper. Nevertheless, the key works perfectly..”—Jack T, Google Reviews

I know for a fact that fast turnaround times matter a lot when searching for the best locksmiths in Singapore, and if there’s one company I’d recommend simply because they’re quick, it’s Ace Locksmith.
Ace Locksmith operates 24/7, which is a huge plus, but the team is small. They get a high influx of customers daily, so they might prioritise emergency cases more.
They don’t do key duplication services, but they offer key and lock repairs, installations, and lock replacements.
Another huge advantage of working with Ace Locksmith? They are super responsive.
In case they can’t make it to your preferred appointment schedule, they will suggest a better time and finish the job in the quickest way possible.
To me, that’s great customer service! Rates are also pretty reasonable, which is always a huge plus!
Pros
- Open 24/7
- Fast turnaround time
Cons
- Lacks key duplication services
- Small team

Great communication
“I scoured the net for a locksmith, I wrote to 3, David responded the quickest even though he was the last one to get my message. We fixed a time for him to come and he came exactly when I expected, the lock issue was fixed in no time, no mess, no fuss, professional, honest and competitive. I would highly recommend without any hesitation. It’s a rare find in SG unfortunately to find someone who can communicate, deliver as promised on time and in full for the budget given!”—Servo Sarai, Google Reviews

From digital locks to car remotes, Soxxi Master can help you solve faulty locks with excellent accuracy.
The locksmith is mostly known for its car key duplications, and according to a friend, their workmanship is almost indistinguishable from the original.
What I like the most about Soxxi Master is its wide range of digital lock and car key solutions.
You can get your key shells replaced like new or get the batteries of your remotes changed within just a few minutes!
Most car keys today, depending on the model, have more intricate features on them. Even then, Soxxi Master has a roster of very skilled locksmiths who can conduct key conversions or alter auto-gate remotes to your liking.
The locksmiths are also very accommodating and professional, which is always a big bonus. I love that they’re open to communicating the best possible solutions for their clients.
My only drawbacks are that their services are relatively pricier than other locksmiths, and they also mainly work on car key solutions. If you’re looking for a solid locksmith for residential or commercial locks, Soxxi Master may not be your best bet.
Pros
- Great car key services
- Excellent customer service
Cons
- Relatively pricey
- Not suitable for residential or commercial locks

Car key replacements in no time
“Went to replace my Subaru car key. Within only half an hour they managed to provide me with a high quality replacement key at a good price. Very professional staff and the lady boss was very fair in explaining her pricing and transparent in how the key would be duplicated. Highly recommended for any car key duplication services”—J, Google Reviews
Genuinely satisfied customers
“I went to 3 places in bedok to get a replacement key for my KTM Superduke 1290 R. None of them could get the signal or frequency. Mind you, i dont have the master key either. Was recommended by a friend to go to soxxi because they can do it. No kidding, they managed to do it and so I bought another key as well. They really solved the issue. Genuinely very satisfied with the service and the quality of the key is good. No rough spots and easy to turn in my bike’s ignition.”—Ebenezer Loy, Google Reviews

De Master Locksmith impressed me with their fast turnaround time and extensive knowledge on locksmith services. If they weren’t open 24/7, my brother would’ve spent the whole night outside of his flat!
When my brother told me about his experience with De Master Locksmith, he emphasised how much he appreciated their eagerness to find the best possible solution for his faulty lock.
They brought all the necessary tools for lock picking and bumping but only suggested breaking my brother’s faulty lock as a last resort.
They did all the necessary troubleshooting first and even gave suggestions on where to get the best lock for my brother’s unit.
Of course, my brother prioritised getting his front door open, but he appreciated the concern. De Master Locksmith was thankfully open that night, but my brother had to make several calls before someone picked up.
Apparently, it took over an hour for the locksmith to arrive at my brother’s doorstep, and while he wasn’t super happy about the delay, he was glad De Master Locksmith dealt with the faulty lock successfully.
Pros
- Fast turnaround time
- Open 24/7
Cons
- Complaints about tardiness
- Slow response rate
