Frequently Asked Questions — Sheffield
-
Locked out. What now?
Phone us. Wait somewhere safe near the property. Most Sheffield lockouts are resolved within 30 minutes including travel and entry.
-
Will the lock be drilled?
Usually no. Standard cylinders and Yales on S terraces and semis are picked open without damage. Drilling is reserved for cylinders that have genuinely failed picking.
-
Standard lockout cost?
£49 to £89 for non-destructive entry. If a worn cylinder has to be replaced because the failure caused the lockout, the part cost is added with your agreement.
-
Snapped key in the lock?
Extracted on site, usually without removing the cylinder. £65 to £79 typically across Sheffield.
-
Locked out of a flat in S1 or S2?
Yes, that's covered. Communal entry doors and individual flat doors are both pickable.
-
ID required?
Yes. Driving licence, recent utility bill or letter showing your name at the address. Engineers ask before opening.
-
How can I pay?
Card, contactless, bank transfer or cash. Receipt emailed before the engineer drives away.
