Don’t panic. Call Sam on 07700 100146 and we’ll give you an honest arrival time straight away. No call-out fee. Fixed price before we start. Non-destructive entry in most cases.
Before calling a locksmith, most people have the same three concerns. Here’s the honest answer to each.
“Will they damage my door?”
No — in most cases.
We always attempt non-destructive entry first using professional techniques. The vast majority of residential lockouts are resolved without any damage to the door or lock. We only drill as a last resort — and only after explaining why and getting your agreement first.
“How much is this going to cost?”
From £80. Agreed upfront.
Emergency lockouts start from £80. There is no call-out fee — you only pay for the work. We give you a fixed price before we start. The price we quote is the price on the invoice. No surprises, no add-ons, no hidden charges for time of day.
“How long will I be standing here?”
~30 minutes, usually.
