What counts as an emergency

A lock that fails late at night is no use to anyone, whether it is a flat on the Brayford waterfront or a cottage in Navenby.

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 Lincoln and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.
