Are you really available 24/7 in Bournemouth?

Yes. A real person answers the phone day or night, weekends and bank holidays included. Engineers cover BH postcodes round the clock.

How quickly can someone be at my address?

Central Bournemouth is typically 15 to 20 minutes. Poole, Christchurch and Ferndown usually 25 to 35.

Will I pay extra for a 3am callout?

No night surcharge. The lockout price quoted on the call is the same at 3am as at 3pm. Phone 0800 048 5569 any time.

What counts as a locksmith emergency?

Locked out, broken in, snapped key, jammed multipoint, door that won't close. If it stops you securing your property tonight, it's an emergency.

Can you board up a damaged door after a break-in?

Yes. Engineers carry timber and ply for emergency boarding, useful particularly for holiday lets and short-term rentals along the coast.

Will home insurance cover the callout?

Many home policies include emergency locksmith cover. We provide itemised invoices showing parts, labour and lock specifications for your claim.

Do I need to be there?

For lockouts, yes, since we'll need ID linking you to the property. For pre-booked work a key-holder or letting agent representative is fine.
