Frequently Asked Questions — Tonbridge
-
Locked out, what next?
Call us, give the postcode, stay near the door if it's safe to. Engineers cover TN round the clock and most domestic doors get picked open without damage.
-
How much does a Tonbridge 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 the 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 Victorian semis harder to open?
Tonbridge has a lot of Victorian and Edwardian semis with 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.
-
What ID is needed?
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.
Have a different question? Just call.

-
Front cylinder snapped off at half eleven, looked like a snap attack. Engineer reached our TN9 street in 20 minutes, fitted a 3-star anti-snap, secured everything. Slept easier.
-
Toddler shut the bathroom door from outside with the latch dropped. Engineer talked us through opening it with a coin in the slot, came round just in case. Didn't charge a callout when our trick worked.
-
Composite front door on a 2007 interwar-style estate had dropped onto the hinges. Realigned in just under an hour for £79. Closes properly again.
-
Patio multipoint on the conservatory had been clicking for months. Avocet gearbox swapped in around 90 minutes. Door slides like new now.
