    Sam C. Emergency lockout
  • Old Yale on the CT6 seafront flat was past it. Lad came round, talked me through the options, swapped it for an anti-snap cylinder and a five-lever mortice on the inner door. Came to £159 fitted, took about an hour and a half.
    Marcus E. Lock change
  • Got home from Reculver way with shopping and the front door wouldn't open. Engineer was there in just over twenty minutes, picked it on the doorstep, £59.
    Helena P. Emergency lockout
  • uPVC door multipoint had failed, handle was floppy and wouldn't engage. New gearbox fitted in about forty minutes for £119.
    Ross H. uPVC door repair
  • After an attempted break-in on the back door of the Greenhill bungalow, frame was damaged and the lock was useless. Phoned first thing, engineer was on site within the hour, secured what was hanging off, then fitted a fresh BS3621 mortice and a new anti-snap on the front. £185 with the temporary boarding.
