What counts as an emergency

A lock that will not turn at 3am, a door left unsecured after a break-in or a key snapped off in a flat door in Kilburn: the emergency line is answered 24 hours a day.

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

How quickly can someone get to me?
