Frequently Asked Questions — Harwich
-
How fast can you reach Harwich?
Most CO12 jobs are covered in 15 to 25 minutes. Engineers run in from the Colchester side and route through Harwich, Dovercourt, Parkeston and Ramsey, so we can usually reach the port and old town quickly.
-
Can you help if I'm locked out near the ferry terminal before a crossing?
Yes. We get plenty of calls from drivers and foot passengers stuck at the port before a Hook of Holland sailing, or locked out of a Dovercourt seafront flat after a late shift. Call 0330 179 6077 and we'll get an engineer to you fast so you don't miss the boat.
-
Are your locksmiths DBS checked and insured?
Every engineer is DBS checked and carries £2 million public liability cover. Photo ID is shown on the doorstep before any work starts, which matters on the older period and maritime properties around the old town.
-
How much to fit an anti-snap euro cylinder?
A TS007 3-star euro cylinder is £89 to £129, supplied and fitted. That's the fixed price quoted on the phone, with no call-out fee added on top. Call 0330 179 6077 for a quote for your door.
-
Which other Essex towns do you cover?
As well as Harwich we cover Dovercourt, Parkeston, Ramsey and the wider CO postcode, including Colchester, Clacton-on-Sea, Manningtree and Frinton.
What Our Customers Say
-
Locked out of the flat on Dovercourt seafront just after 11pm. Engineer reached CO12 in 18 minutes, opened it with no damage. £65.
-
Snapped my key rushing for the early ferry at the port. Phoned, the lad turned up quick, got the broken half out and fitted a fresh anti-snap euro on the spot. £95, paid by card on the doorstep.
-
Old mortice on a period cottage in the maritime old town had seized solid. Replaced with a BS3621 same afternoon, £115.
-
uPVC back door in Dovercourt wouldn't lift to lock in the sea air. Multipoint gearbox swapped in under an hour, £145.
-
Had an attempted break-in overnight on a house near Parkeston. Rang first thing and the engineer was on the doorstep within the hour, boarded the damaged frame and fitted a 3-star anti-snap plus a new BS3621 mortice the same morning. Took photos for the insurance and left a clean written invoice. £245 including the boarding, and he talked me through every bit of it.
