What counts as an emergency

A door that will not lock after a break-in, or a key snapped in Sheerness, cannot wait until morning, and neither can you. We answer the phone around the clock, quote for free and confirm the price before the engineer starts.

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