Frequently Asked Questions — Hereford
-
Locked out in Hereford. What now?
Call us with the postcode and door type. Fixed quote and ETA before any van leaves. Average arrival 22 to 30 minutes across HR postcodes.
-
How much does it cost?
£49 to £89 daytime, £79 to £99 overnight or weekends. Most jobs are non-destructive, leaving the original lock working.
-
I rent. Do I need landlord approval first?
No. Tenants book directly. Receipt provided so you can claim back 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 ID?
Yes. Photo ID matching the address, a recent letter, or a tenancy agreement on a phone screen.
-
I'm in a rural property well outside town. Can you still come?
Yes. Engineers attend the outer parts of HR1, HR2, HR4, HR8 and HR9 routinely. Response is longer but the call-out goes through.
-
What if the door has a deadbolt thrown from inside?
Different technique but still solvable in most cases without damage. Quote given on the call once we know the lock setup.
Have a different question? Just call.
