I've slammed the door behind me, what now?

Call us, sit somewhere warm, don't try to force the door. Most slammed Yale-style night latches open in under five minutes once the engineer arrives.

I'm a tenant in Coventry, can you let me in?

Yes. ID matching the address is enough. We can also liaise with your letting agent or landlord on the phone if needed.

Will I need a new lock after a lockout?

Almost never. Picking and bypass leave the existing cylinder fully working. Only failed mechanisms get replaced.

My uPVC door is jammed shut, can you help?

Yes. Stuck multipoint locks are a common Coventry callout, especially on doors that have dropped on the hinges. Engineer usually opens without snapping the cylinder.

Key broken in the lock, what next?

Engineer brings a key extractor, removes the broken section, often without damaging the cylinder. New key cut on the van where possible.

Communal entrance to my flat block, can you help?

Yes. Once inside the building, we deal with your flat door. Communal entrance issues sit with the freeholder usually.

It's late and the kids are with me, can you prioritise?

Yes, vulnerability calls (children, elderly, medical concerns) are flagged for the closest available engineer. Tell the dispatcher when you book.
