Frequently Asked Questions — Dudley
-
I'm locked out right now, how soon can someone come?
Phone 0800 048 5569 and an engineer is dispatched immediately. Most DY jobs see arrival in 18 to 25 minutes.
-
Will the door be damaged?
Most lockouts are picked open with no damage. Drilling is reserved for cases where picking won't work, with the cylinder replaced on the spot.
-
Are nights or weekends extra?
No. The lockout price applies 24 hours, every day, including bank holidays.
-
What if a child is locked inside?
Tell the controller. Jobs with children, vulnerable people, or pets get priority dispatch.
-
Can you open a uPVC door with a snapped handle?
Yes. A snapped handle is one of the most common Dudley callouts on the older estates. Replacement handle and gearbox if needed, same visit.
-
Key snapped in the cylinder, what now?
The broken piece is extracted and the lock tested. If it works cleanly the cylinder stays. Otherwise a new one comes from van stock.
-
What ID do I need to show?
Photo ID with the address, or a recent letter to the property. Standard practice and protects everyone.
