What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a stone-built house in Selkirk, a lock that fails at midnight in Galashiels or a back door that will not secure after a break-in attempt can be dealt with at any hour. The line is open 24 hours, with no callout fee if you go ahead.
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 Galashiels and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.
