Before you call

The questions everyone asks at the door

Straight answers, so there are no surprises when the van pulls up.

How much will it cost to get back into my house?

An emergency lockout is £59 in the daytime or £79 after 10pm, with no callout fee. The price we quote on the phone is the price you pay. Parts are extra only where stated, and we always show you the part and its price before fitting anything.

How quickly can you reach me?

Our average over the last 12 months is 25 minutes from your call to our van outside, based on 612 emergency callouts. Two engineers are on shift every night, positioned either side of the city, covering everywhere within 15 miles of Coventry city centre.

Will you have to drill my lock or damage the door?

Almost never. We try non-destructive entry first, every time, and nine out of ten doors open with no damage and no new lock needed. If a lock does need replacing, we agree the price with you before we touch it.

Are the locks you fit approved by insurers?

Yes. Every lock we fit as standard is kitemarked to BS 3621 or TS 007 3-star, the levels most home insurers ask for. Our cylinders are anti-snap, anti-pick and anti-drill, and every lock and every fitting carries a 12 month guarantee.

Do you really answer at 3am, and how do I pay?

Yes. Emergency callouts run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and when you call a locksmith answers, not a call centre. Every engineer is DBS checked and shows ID on arrival, and we take card payments on the spot.

After the panic

What people say the morning after

★★★★★

"Locked out at 1.30am with my daughter asleep inside. Dan arrived in 20 minutes, showed his ID through the window, and had the door open in five with zero damage."

Rachel W, Cheylesmore

★★★★★

"Quoted £75 on the phone for a lock change after a burglary next door. Paid exactly £75. Fitted an anti-snap cylinder and explained why it matters."

Mohammed A, Longford

★★★★★

"My uPVC door would not lock in the cold. Fixed the mechanism on a Sunday evening, no weekend premium nonsense, and it has worked perfectly since."
