Snapped key in our front door cylinder, second time this year on the same lock. Engineer suggested replacing it rather than just extracting. Honest advice, fair price at £89.

Came home to find the door forced on our place off Chorley Old Road. Boarded that night, full BS3621 deadlock and reinforced strike plate fitted Saturday morning. Insurer accepted everything.
