What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a front door at two in the morning, a lock forced during a break-in or a door that will not close securely after an attempted entry: the emergency line is answered around the clock.
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 Ilford and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.
