Frequently Asked Questions — East London
-
Keys are inside the flat, what should I do?
Stay near the door, ring the office, and an engineer is dispatched. Most East London lockouts are picked open in under 10 minutes once the engineer is on site.
-
Door slammed shut on the latch, can you open it?
Yes, that's the quickest job we do. Often opened in 2 to 3 minutes with no damage.
-
How much will an East London lockout cost?
Between £49 and £89 depending on the lock and time of day. The price is confirmed before the engineer leaves base.
-
Key turns but the door won't open, why?
Usually the multipoint or gearbox in a uPVC door has failed. The engineer will get you in and replace the failed part from van stock.
-
Can a deadlocked mortice be opened without breaking it?
Most BS3621 mortice locks pick open with experience. If yours can't, a clean drill keeps damage to the cylinder only.
-
Locked out in E8 with no signal, what now?
Step into a shop or cafe along Mare Street and use a phone. We'll dispatch and call back to confirm arrival.
-
Will the engineer wait while I find ID?
Yes. Proof of address always comes before the door opens. A licence, recent bill, or letter is fine.
Have a different question? Just call.
