Frequently Asked Questions — Reading

  • How quickly can a locksmith reach my Reading address?

    Most RG postcode jobs are reached in 14 to 25 minutes. Engineers cover central Reading, Caversham, Tilehurst and out towards Wokingham, Bracknell and Newbury.

  • Are the engineers actually local?

    Yes. They know the Victorian terraces around the IDR, the 1930s semis along Bath Road and the modern estates in Lower Earley. Calls go to the nearest available van, not someone driving in from Slough.

  • Same-hour service available?

    Yes, around the clock. Pick up the phone and we dispatch immediately rather than booking you for the next day.

  • Lockout pricing in Reading?

    £49 to £89 for a non-destructive entry. The figure quoted on the call is what you pay on the doorstep.

  • What about RG6 and the Earley side?

    Covered. ETA is similar to central Reading because we keep vans positioned across the area.

  • Out-of-hours and bank holidays?

    24/7 with no surcharge. Christmas Day, Sunday morning, 3am Wednesday, all the same rate.

  • Will the van have parts for my door type?

    Yes. BS3621 mortices, anti-snap euro cylinders, multipoint gearboxes and uPVC handles for the common Reading housing types are all stocked. Most jobs finish first visit.
