What happens when you call
- Tell us what’s wrong. The address, the type of lock or vehicle, and whether anything is damaged.
- Get a quote and an arrival estimate. We give you a price range and a realistic time based on where our technicians are.
- Confirm on arrival. The technician checks your ID, looks at the lock and confirms the price before starting.
- Back in and secure. We open the door, then rekey or replace the lock if keys were lost or the door was forced.
After a break-in
Call the police and get a report number before anything is repaired. Then we can change or rekey the locks, repair the strike and frame where possible and make sure the door closes and locks properly so the property is secure tonight. For a sturdier long-term fix, ask about high-security cylinders and reinforced strikes.

Frequently asked questions
How soon can you get here?
It depends on your location, traffic and how many calls are ahead of yours. We give you an honest arrival estimate when you call rather than a fixed promise.
Do you charge more at night?
Prices depend on the job, the lock and the time of day. You’ll get a quote on the phone, and the technician confirms it before any work starts.
What if my key broke off inside the lock?
Don’t try to push it further in. We extract broken keys with dedicated tools and can cut a new key on site.
I lost my keys. Should I change the locks?
If the keys could be linked to your address, rekeying is a sensible step. It makes the lost keys useless without replacing the whole lock.
