Frequently Asked Questions — Leicester
-
Locked out in Leicester, what's the first move?
Call 0800 048 5569. Confirm your LE 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 LE postcodes. Engineers operate from central Leicester so even calls from Loughborough or Hinckley usually stay inside half an hour.
-
Will my 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 for a lockout?
£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 opening the door. Driving licence, recent bill, tenancy agreement or bank card with letter all work.
-
What if my key has snapped?
Bring the broken half if you have it. The piece in the lock is extracted and the cylinder only replaced if the mechanism is damaged.
-
Tenants in Leicester rentals welcome?
Yes. Letting agents across LE2, LE3 and Oadby are billed direct when authorised, otherwise the tenant pays and the receipt is forwarded for reimbursement.
Have a different question? Just call.
