What does a Slough lockout cost?

Standard daytime callouts run £49 to £69. Night and bank holiday rates sit at £69 to £89. Multipoint uPVC lockouts are toward the higher end.

How long until you get to me?

From SL1 town centre, 14 to 20 minutes is typical. SL3 around Langley adds five. We dispatch the closest van so the timer depends on where the previous job finished.

Will the door be damaged?

On most domestic locks we open without damage using picks or letterbox tools. If the lock is internally broken drilling may be needed. The engineer flags it before starting and you decide.

Can I get a quote before booking?

Yes. Phone with the door type, lock type if you know it, and your postcode. We give a fixed price on the call and won't change it on arrival.

What if I don't have ID on me?

We can still open the door. Once inside we ask for proof of address, anything in your name will do. It's a basic safeguard, not a hurdle.

Can you open uPVC and composite doors?

Yes, daily. Around 90% of uPVC lockouts open without damage. If the gearbox has failed mid-lock cycle, drilling is sometimes the only route.

Will my keys still work after you've opened it?

Yes, non-destructive entry leaves the lock fully usable. Drilled cylinders need replacement, supplied with three new keys.
