Frequently Asked Questions — Kingston
-
Locked out in Kingston, what's the first move?
Call 0800 048 5569. Confirm your KT postcode, the type of door and whether the key is missing or broken. The nearest engineer is dispatched right away.
-
How long is the wait?
15 to 20 minutes for most KT postcodes. Engineers run from Kingston, Surbiton and Richmond so even calls from Esher rarely pass 25 minutes.
-
Will the door be forced?
Almost never. Picking, bumping and bypass methods open most locks cleanly. Drilling is a last resort and a new cylinder is fitted on the spot.
-
How much does a lockout cost?
£49 to £89 depending on lock type and time. Quoted at booking and confirmed once the engineer is on the doorstep.
-
Will you ask for ID?
Yes. ID matching the address is needed before the door is opened. Driving licence, recent bill, tenancy agreement or bank card with letter all work.
-
What if my key snapped in the lock?
Bring the broken half if you have it. The piece in the lock is extracted and the cylinder only replaced if the mechanism itself is damaged.
-
Tenants in KT rentals welcome?
Yes. Letting agents across Kingston and Surbiton are billed direct when authorised, otherwise the tenant pays and the receipt is forwarded for reimbursement.
Have a different question? Just call.
