I'm locked out in East London right now, how soon can someone come?
Phone 0800 048 5569 and an engineer is dispatched immediately. Most E1 to E20 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, and the cylinder is replaced on the spot.
-

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.

Yes. A snapped handle is a common East London callout, especially on older estate doors. 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.
