Frequently Asked Questions — Stevenage
-
What's an emergency call in Stevenage?
Lockouts, snapped keys, doors that won't shut or lock, post-burglary make-safes, jammed cylinders. Anything leaving your property unsecured tonight.
-
How fast can you reach SG postcodes after midnight?
Typical response 16 to 22 minutes. SG1 and SG2 around the new-town centre quickest. Hitchin and Letchworth add five to ten.
-
Are there extra charges at night?
No. Standard rate applies 24/7, including bank holidays. Phone quote is the final figure.
-
Most Stevenage doors are uPVC. Can you handle multipoint lockouts?
Yes, daily work. The new-town housing stock is largely uPVC with multipoint locks. We bypass without damage on around 90% of jobs.
-
What if my back door's been forced and the frame's split?
Same-night make-safe. Boarded if needed, temporary lock fitted. Permanent BS3621 install books for the next day if specific parts have to be ordered.
-
Do you cover Old Town as well as the new-town estates?
Yes. Old Town's older terraces with timber doors and the new-town uPVC estates are both routine work for the SG postcodes.
-
Will home insurance cover the call-out?
Most policies include locksmith cover for lost keys or burglary. We give an itemised invoice with serial numbers so the claim is straightforward.
