What counts as an emergency
A door left insecure after a break-in in Selhurst or a key snapped in the lock in Addiscombe needs fixing now, not tomorrow. The engineer confirms the price before starting and can fit BS3621 locks and anti-snap cylinders where the door needs upgrading.
Being locked out, a lock that will not open or will not lock, a key snapped in the door, or a door damaged in a break-in. If you cannot get in, or cannot leave the house secure, it is an emergency and we treat it as one.
Day or night, including weekends and bank holidays, the price is the same. You get a quote on the phone, the nearest engineer drives to you in Croydon and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.
