Frequently Asked Questions — Swindon
-
Locked out, what do I do first?
Call us, give the postcode, stay near the door if it's safe to. Engineers cover SN round the clock and most domestic doors get picked open without damage.
-
What's the cost of a Swindon lockout?
£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 gets cleaned, and either a new key is cut from the bow or the cylinder is replaced. Usually under 20 minutes.
-
Are old railway terraces harder to open?
Westcott Place, Faringdon Road, and the streets around the GWR works have a lot of original mortice locks alongside Yale nightlatches. They take a touch longer than modern doors but the techniques work the same.
-
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.
-
What ID will I need?
Photo ID matching the address, a driving licence or recent utility bill on a phone works. If you have nothing, neighbours or a landlord on a phone call usually solves it.
Have a different question? Just call.
