Locked out in Harrow. What now?

Call us with the postcode and door type. Fixed quote and ETA before any van leaves. Average arrival 18 to 25 minutes across HA postcodes.

How much does it cost to be let back in?

£49 to £89 daytime, £79 to £99 overnight or weekends. Most jobs are non-destructive, leaving the original lock working.

I rent the property. Do I need landlord approval first?

No. Tenants book directly. Receipt provided so you can recover the cost from a landlord or letting agent if your tenancy permits.

What if my key snapped in the lock?

Engineers carry extraction tools. Most snapped keys come out without replacing the cylinder, around £55 to £75.

Will I need to show ID?

Yes. Photo ID matching the address, a recent letter, or a tenancy agreement on a phone screen.

What if I'm a first-floor flat with no separate front door?

Engineers attend communal entrances and individual flat doors alike. We'll discuss access on the call so it's straightforward when the van arrives.

Composite door, hardwood, uPVC. Does it matter?

All routinely opened without damage. The lock matters more than the door material itself.
