I'm locked out in Norwich, what do I do first?

Call us. Don't try to force the door. Forced entry on a Victorian or flint cottage frame turns a £49 problem into a £400 one. We're usually there within 20 minutes anywhere in NR1 to NR8.

Will you have to break my door to get me in?

Almost never. We pick the lock, bump it, or use a letterbox tool depending on what's fitted. Damage only happens when the cylinder is already snapped or the deadlock is engaged with no key on the inside.

What does a typical Norwich lockout cost?

£49 to £89 for a standard front door. Older terraces in the Golden Triangle with original mortice locks sometimes run higher. Price given before dispatch and does not change.

Lost keys versus broken keys, does it matter?

Both common. Lost keys means we get you in and recommend a cylinder change. Broken keys we extract within ten minutes usually, and you can keep using the same lock if it's undamaged.

Locked out of my car?

Sorry, no. Domestic and small commercial only. For cars you'll need a vehicle locksmith. We can recommend one if you call.

What if I'm locked out late with kids?

Call straight away. Lockouts with kids, elderly, or pets stuck inside get prioritised. Out-of-hours response is 20 to 30 minutes across most NR postcodes.

Do you charge a callout fee just for showing up?

No. If you've got back in before we arrive, no charge for the trip. Be straight on the call so we can free the slot.

What Our Customers Say

Locked out of our flint cottage off Magdalen Street at half past eleven. Engineer was on the doorstep within 19 minutes. Picked the lock without any damage to the old door.

James R. Emergency lockout
Locked out outside Chapelfield with shopping and the dog. Engineer there in 15 minutes, lock open in five.

Sophie A. Emergency lockout
Garage padlock on the alley behind our flint terrace had rusted solid. Other locksmiths wanted to send a van without quoting. These guys gave me £60 on the phone and held to it.

Gareth E. Lock change
uPVC back door wouldn't lift to lock at all. Engineer diagnosed worn keeps and dropped hinges in a few minutes. Sorted in one visit.
