24 hour round the clock service
Explanation:
So Locksmiths and plumbers - this is a "services rendered/offered "genre.
Servicing means repairing something. Assitance would be for example if your car had broken down, and you needed some advice or help.

24 hour is cut and dried. "Round the clock" perhaps less formal, and maybe more attractive for an advert

Obs: Available 24/7 sounds good too.

It all depends on the target audience, context, and therefore the effect you want to create. All the best.
