I am locked out of my house in Wrexham, can you get me in without breaking the door?

In most cases yes. On a Victorian terrace door in Rhosddu or Hightown we can often pick or slip the lock and leave the original timber untouched. On a uPVC door we have non-destructive methods too. Drilling is a last resort, and if it comes to that we fit a new cylinder and hand you the keys.

How much does it cost to get back in after a lockout?

A straightforward lockout starts from £39. It stays at the lower end when the lock opens without damage. If a cylinder has to be drilled and replaced there is the cost of the new part on top, which we quote before we start. No callout fee either way.

I have snapped my key off in the lock, what now?

We extract the broken piece, and if the lock is fine you keep using it. On the older Wrexham terrace mortice locks a snapped key usually comes out cleanly. If the barrel is damaged we swap it and cut you fresh keys on the spot.

My uPVC door will not open even with the right key, is that a lockout?

It is, and it is common on the Caia Park and Gwersyllt estates. When the multipoint gearbox fails the handle can spin or jam and the door stays shut. We get you in, then repair the mechanism. A uPVC repair starts from £69.

Locked out late at night, how long until you reach me?

For a Wrexham LL address, usually 20 to 30 minutes overnight. Whoever is nearest to you across the town comes out. Call and we will give you the real time for your street before setting off.

I have locked myself out of a flat above a shop in the town centre, can you still help?

Yes. The town centre has plenty of flats above the shops on Hope Street and around, often with communal timber doors then a separate flat door. We deal with both types and get you back into your own flat without disturbing the rest of the building.

Can you help if I am locked out but the keys are inside?

Yes, that is one of the most common calls we get. As long as it is your property or you can show it is, we open the door and get you back to your keys. If the lock is worn we will mention it, but there is no pressure to change anything you do not need to.

What Our Customers Say

Locked out of our terrace on a wet night in Rhosddu, keys still on the kitchen table. Engineer picked the old mortice lock without a mark on the door and had me in inside 25 minutes. £45 and no callout fee.

Gareth W. Emergency lockout
Snapped my key clean off in the front door lock heading out for work. He extracted both bits and cut a new one from the pieces there and then. £48 and I still made it in.

Megan L. Key extraction
After an attempted break-in at our place in Hightown the frame was splintered but they had not got in. Boarded up the same night, came back next morning and fitted BS3621 locks for the insurance. £185 for the lot and a real weight off.

Rhys D. Burglary repair
uPVC back door on our Caia Park house would not lock, the handle just flopped. He knew straight away it was the gearbox, had one on the van and fitted it for £95. Sorted in under an hour.
