What counts as an emergency
When a lock fails late at night, on a new-town estate or a village lane in the Chilterns, there is no sense waiting for daylight. The emergency line runs around the clock with no callout fee if you go ahead, and the engineer confirms the price before work begins.
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 Hemel Hempstead and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.

Do you charge a callout fee?
