Locked out, what now?

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

How much does a Telford 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 cylinder?

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 on site.

Are uPVC multipoint doors harder to open?

Telford is mostly new-town housing where uPVC multipoint doors are standard. Picking the cylinder works the same as any other lock. The harder cases are when the multipoint itself has jammed, which we still get open without breaking the door.

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

Yes, even when the multipoint has seized 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 solves it.

What Our Customers Say

Snapped a key in the back door cylinder going to work in the rain. Engineer extracted both halves and cut a fresh key from the bow on the van. 25 minutes start to finish.

Liam B. Key extraction
Front cylinder snapped off in the early hours, looked like a snap attack. Engineer reached our TF1 street in 21 minutes, fitted a 3-star anti-snap, secured the door. Slept easier after.

Gemma U. Emergency lockout
Patio multipoint on the conservatory had been clicking for half a year. Avocet gearbox swapped in around 90 minutes. Door slides like new now.

Owen K. uPVC door repair
Old Victorian ironworks property near Coalbrookdale, mortice on the back door had completely seized. Replaced with a new five-lever for £109 and made fresh keys.
