I am locked out in Weymouth, what should I do first?

Ring us and stay put somewhere safe. We will confirm your address, give you a realistic ETA, and quote the price before an engineer leaves. Most Weymouth lockouts across DT4 and DT3 are sorted inside 25 to 40 minutes, so try not to force the door yourself and risk a bigger repair bill.

Can you get me in without breaking the door?

Almost always. On the older seafront timber doors around Melcombe Regis and Westham we pick or slip the lock rather than drill it, which keeps your original door and its character intact. Drilling is a last resort, and if a cylinder truly has to go we explain why before doing anything.

I have been locked out of a holiday flat, can you help?

Yes, this is a regular one in Weymouth. Guests arriving at holiday lets toward Overcombe and along the Esplanade often get caught out by a failed key safe or a key left inside. We get you in and, if the owner wants it, can rekey or change the lock so the next changeover goes smoothly.

The uPVC handle lifts but the key will not turn, am I locked out?

That is usually a failing multipoint mechanism rather than a lost key, common on the newer Littlemoor and Chickerell doors. Do not force the handle or you can jam it fully shut. We get the door open and repair or replace the gearbox so it locks properly again.

How much to get back into my Weymouth home?

A simple lockout starts from 39 pounds, quoted before we set out. If a lock is beyond opening non-destructively and needs replacing, we tell you the full figure first. There is no call-out fee added and no jump in price once we are on your doorstep.

Are you available for late-night lockouts?

Yes, we cover Weymouth 24 hours. Late lockouts near the front after an evening out, or a guest arriving on the last train and finding the key box empty, are bread and butter for us. Call whenever it happens and someone will head over.

Which parts of Weymouth do you reach for lockouts?

All of DT3 and DT4, including Melcombe Regis, Westham, Radipole, Rodwell, Wyke Regis, Preston, Overcombe, Littlemoor and out to Chickerell. If you are toward Upwey or Broadwey and not sure we cover your road, give us a ring and we will confirm the ETA straight away.

Locked Out in Weymouth? We Can Help.

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

What Our Customers Say

Snapped my key in the front door of our Melcombe Regis terrace on the way to work. Got the broken bit out and sorted a new cylinder while I waited. No drama and cheaper than I feared at 78 pounds.

Claire M. Emergency lockout
Rang about a lockout at a holiday flat in Overcombe where the key safe had jammed and my guests were stuck outside. Sorted in 20 minutes, guests got in, and he rekeyed the safe for me. 70 pounds, brilliant service.

Paul D. Emergency lockout
Shop shutter lock jammed before opening on St Thomas Street and I was losing morning trade. He got it working and serviced it so it would not seize again. 95 pounds and back trading within the hour.

Imran K. Commercial lockout
Key would not turn in our uPVC door in Radipole one morning. Turned out the cylinder had corroded. He swapped it for an anti-snap one and showed me why the old one was a risk. 89 pounds well spent.
