I'm locked out in Crewe right now, how soon can someone come?

Phone answered in under 30 seconds, engineer dispatched within 5 minutes. Typical CW1 to CW2 arrival is 15 to 25 minutes.

Will the engineer damage my door?

Around 95% of jobs use non-destructive picking and bypass methods. Drilling is a last resort, with permission only.

I'm in a CW5 village outside Nantwich, how long?

Calls outside the main built-up area typically see 25 to 40 minute response. Realistic ETA given on the phone.

Do you charge a premium for night calls?

Out-of-hours rate runs 8pm to 7am and on weekends. Quoted in full on the phone before booking.

Photo ID matching the address. Otherwise we contact a key-holder, letting agent, or check a utility bill once we're inside.

I've lost my keys, do I need a new lock?

What Our Customers Say

Forced entry on our terrace while we were away for the weekend. New cylinders, frame plate, strike reinforced. Insurance happy with everything within 24 hours.

Michael T. Burglary repair
Snapped my key in the front door rushing out for work. Got someone there in 23 minutes. Extracted the broken bit, cut a fresh key, made it to work only an hour late.

Claire W. Key extraction
Moved into a CW1 railway terrace, wanted my own locks rather than trusting whoever the previous tenants gave keys to. Two cylinders changed, six keys, £179.

Ben H. Lock change
uPVC handle came off in my hand on the way out. Engineer arrived inside 30 minutes, replaced gearbox cassette and handle. £139.
