What's the cost of a lockout in Shrewsbury?

Standard domestic lockouts run £49 to £89 depending on the lock type and time of day. Yale night latches sit at the lower end, multipoint uPVC at the higher.

How long until someone reaches me?

From the town centre, 14 to 20 minutes is typical. SY3 and SY4 are usually inside 25 minutes. Outlying villages toward Oswestry can stretch to 35 in bad weather.

Will you damage the door getting in?

Non-destructive entry on roughly 90% of jobs. Picking, bumping, or letterbox tools open most domestic locks without a mark. Drilling only when the lock is internally broken.

I've left a child or pet inside. Are you faster for that?

Yes. Children, pets, hobs left on, anything safety-critical and we move the nearest engineer immediately. Phone the moment you realise.

Do you do lockouts on uPVC doors specifically?

Yes, daily work. Multipoint mechanisms get picked open or, if the gearbox has failed, decoded and bypassed. We carry replacement gearboxes if you want a permanent fix the same visit.

Card payment on the spot is the norm. We don't run accounts for one-off domestic call-outs.

What ID do you need from me?

Some form of address proof once we're inside, a driving licence or recent post is fine. It protects you as much as us.
