Frequently Asked Questions — York
-
Quickly to a YO lockout?
Most YO1, YO10 and YO24 addresses see an engineer in 16 to 22 minutes. Selby, Harrogate and Malton add a few minutes.
-
Cost?
Most non-destructive entries are £49 to £69. Anti-social hours match the day rate.
-
Drilled lock?
Drilling only happens when a cylinder is internally damaged or seized. Modern domestic locks open with picks, bumps or letterbox tools without a mark.
-
Lost keys completely?
Replacing the cylinder is safer than just gaining entry, particularly if anything in the lost set could identify the address.
-
Let me into a rental?
Yes, with proof of residence. Driving licence, recent post or tenancy reference.
-
Smart locks?
Yale Conexis, Ultion Nuki and similar are routine. Battery failure and bricked firmware are the common faults.
-
Cover Selby and Harrogate?
Yes. Selby, Harrogate, Leeds boundary and Malton are all part of the daily YO route.
