Frequently Asked Questions — Oldham

-
Is there genuinely no callout fee?
No callout fee, no minimum charge for arrival, no surcharge for evenings or weekends. Phone quote is the invoice price.
-
Are your engineers DBS-checked?
Every engineer is DBS-checked, fully insured, and trained in non-destructive entry. ID gets shown before going near your door.

How much does a typical lockout cost?
£49 to £89 for a standard front door. Older mill terraces with original mortice locks sometimes push higher. Exact price gets confirmed before dispatch.
-
What if my stone-built door gets damaged during entry?
In over 95% of jobs we use non-destructive entry, so original doors and locks stay intact. Damage only happens when something is already broken or seized. If we drill, a new cylinder is included.
