How much does it cost to be let back into my house?

Standard lockout entry sits between £39 and £89 in Newport, depending on the lock type and time of day. The full price is confirmed on the phone before the engineer leaves the depot.

Will my door be damaged?

In around 9 out of 10 lockouts the door is opened by non-destructive picking. Drilling is only used when the cylinder is broken, jammed or anti-snap protected against picking, and a replacement cylinder is fitted on the spot.

I'm locked out of my flat in Pillgwenlly. Can you still help?

Yes. Flats, ground-floor maisonettes and shared entries across Pillgwenlly, Maindee and the city centre are all covered. The engineer will need confirmation that the property is yours, usually by ID matching the address inside.

What if I've left a key in the lock on the inside?

That's a common situation and there are tools designed specifically for it. The engineer can usually rotate or remove the inner key without drilling, especially on euro cylinders fitted to uPVC doors.

Can you let me into my car?

The service covers residential and commercial property only. For vehicles, a dedicated auto-locksmith is the right call.

Do I have to pay before the door is opened?

Payment is taken once the door is open and you have access, by card on the doorstep or cash. You aren't asked to pay upfront sight-unseen.

What ID will I need to show?

Anything that proves the address is yours: a driving licence with the address, a recent utility bill on a phone, or a tenancy agreement. The engineer needs to be sure they are letting in the right person.
