Locked out, what now?

Call us, give the postcode, stay near the door if it's safe. Engineers cover SM round the clock and most domestic doors get picked open without damage.

What does a Sutton lockout cost?

£49 to £89 depending on time of day and lock type. Standard nightlatches sit at the lower end. uPVC doors with a jammed multipoint cost more because the gearbox often needs replacing.

Will my door be damaged?

On most jobs no. Picking, bumping, or letterbox tools open the door cleanly. Drilling only happens on damaged or high-security cylinders, and the replacement cost is explained first.

Key snapped inside the lock, can it come out?

Key extraction is a quick fix. The broken piece comes out, the cylinder is cleaned, and either a new key gets cut from the bow or the cylinder is replaced. Usually under 20 minutes.

Are Edwardian and Victorian semis harder to open?

Cheam, Carshalton, and parts of Sutton have a lot of original mortice locks alongside Yale nightlatches. They take a touch longer than modern doors but the techniques work the same way.

Can you open a uPVC door that won't release?

Yes, even when the multipoint has jammed in the locked position. We get you in first, then quote the multipoint repair separately if the gearbox needs swapping.

Photo ID matching the address, ideally a driving licence or recent utility bill on a phone. If you have nothing, neighbours or a landlord on a phone call usually does the job.

What Our Customers Say

Slammed the door behind me on a Cheam interwar semi at 9pm. Engineer turned up in 16 minutes, picked the night latch without leaving a mark. £55 done.

James W. Emergency lockout
Snapped the bow off a key turning the front door of an Edwardian semi off Carshalton Road. Both halves out in five minutes, fresh key cut from the bow on the spot.

Aiden L. Key extraction
Going through a separation, every lock in the house changed in one quiet visit. Five cylinders and two nightlatches, just over two hours. Discreet work, appreciated.

Maxine D. Lock change
Old mortice on the cellar door of a Victorian semi had rusted shut. Replaced the whole lock body and made matching keys for £105. Quick visit.

Tom B. Lock change
