I'm locked out in Kirkcaldy right now. How fast can you come?

Usually 15 to 25 minutes anywhere in the Lang Toun. Call, get a live arrival time, and the engineer rings when he's minutes away. Wait somewhere warm, not on the step.

How much does it cost to get back in?

From £55 during the day, evenings and weekends quoted upfront. No callout fee on top. If a new cylinder is needed it's from £89 fitted and you approve it first.

Will you damage the door?

Almost never. Picking and bypassing open most Kirkcaldy doors, tenement flats and semis alike, without a mark. Drilling is the last resort and the replacement lock is included if it happens.

Keys are inside and the snib's on. Can you still get in?

Yes. A snibbed nightlatch or a lifted multipoint is a routine open, and it's the most common lockout in the toun's flats. No need to force anything.

I'm locked out of the close, not just my flat.

We open controlled-entry close doors too, then your own front door. Factors are informed afterwards if the communal lock needs work.

Do I need to prove I live there?

Yes, once the door is open: photo ID, a bill, or something inside with your name on it. It protects you as much as anyone. No ID, no entry, no exceptions.

Can you make me a spare so this doesn't happen again?

Extra keys cut on the spot, £4 to £8 each. Plenty of Kirkcaldy customers also take a key safe for £45 fitted, handy for carers and teenagers.
