I am locked out in Taunton. What is the first thing to do?

Call and give us your postcode and the type of door. You get a fixed price and an ETA before any engineer leaves, so there is nothing to negotiate when they turn up.

How much to let me back in?

£39 to £89 in the daytime, £79 to £99 overnight. Most jobs are non-destructive, so your existing lock keeps working once you are back inside.

The back door has swollen and I cannot get the key to turn. Locked out?

This one is common in the damp Vale. A swollen timber door binds and the lock jams even with the right key. We get you in, ease the door and adjust the keep so it stops happening.

I rent a flat in TA1. Can I call you myself?

Yes, tenants can call us directly. We provide a receipt so you can claim the cost back from a landlord or letting agent where your tenancy allows it.

I left the keys at work rather than losing them. Same price?

Yes. The job is opening the door, and the reason you are locked out does not change what it costs.

Do you need to see ID?

Yes. Photo ID matching the address, a recent letter or a tenancy agreement. It is standard across the trade and protects you as much as us.

How long before the engineer reaches me?

20 to 25 minutes is typical across central Taunton and the estates, a little longer out to Norton Fitzwarren, Trull or the further Deane villages.

Locked Out in Taunton? We Can Help.

Locked yourself out, forgot your key inside the house, or the door slammed shut? Taunton engineers ready in 15-20 min.

We're out across TA postcodes daily — Victorian and Edwardian brick terraces near the town centre, interwar and postwar semi-detached estates in Priorswood and Halcon, and large modern uPVC-door new-build developments on the edges at Comeytrowe, Monkton Heathfield and Staplegrove included — with the common lock sizes already on the van.

What Our Customers Say

Locked out of a rented flat in TA1 near the station at half eleven. He was on the doorstep in 22 minutes, picked it open and wrote me a proper receipt for the letting agent. £85.

Charlotte M. Emergency lockout
Came back from Bridgwater at midnight to find I'd left the keys at my sister's. Engineer reached us in Priorswood in 24 minutes and had the door open without a mark. Fair £89 for the hour.

Danielle F. Emergency lockout
External lock on the side gate had corroded solid after the winter. He freed what he could then fitted a weatherproof replacement. Sensible advice about the damp too. £75.

Colin D. Lock repair
Damp had swollen the back door so much I couldn't lock it going to work. He shaved the edge, adjusted the multipoint keeps and serviced the mech. No more fighting with it. £99.
