What We Do When We Arrive

Upon arrival, we start by verifying your identity using documents like a driver's license, recent utility bill, or passport. This is a standard requirement under London insurance terms to guarantee we're opening the right property.

If you can't provide these, we may call your landlord or building manager as an alternative.

Once your identity is confirmed, we assess the lock. Our first approach is to pick it—this is the cheapest and least damaging option.

If picking isn't possible, we might bypass the lock using a letterbox tool or sash jammer. In cases where the lock is anti-snap or seized, drilling may be necessary, and we'll include cylinder replacement.

Before any work begins, we'll provide you with a cost on the spot. There's no diagnostic fee if you decide against proceeding.

Most non-violent lockouts are resolved within 15-30 minutes.

What NOT to Do While Waiting

While we pride ourselves on swift response times, it's crucial to know what not to do while you wait for us.

Attempting a quick fix can turn a simple lockout into a costly repair. Here's what to avoid:

  • Don't pick the lock with a hairpin or screwdriver: This bends pins, breaks the cylinder, and forces a full replacement.
  • Don't slide a card down the latch on a UPVC multipoint: Modern multipoint hooks can't be card-defeated, and the card will break.
  • Don't kick the door: This splits the frame around the strike plate, multiplying costs and leaving the door unusable.
  • Avoid panicking: Stay calm and focus on safety.
  • Don't hesitate to call us: Phone 020 3826 8582 for immediate assistance and stand somewhere safe.
