What counts as an emergency
A key snapped in a Camberwell door, a flat door that will not lock in Woolwich or a latch that gives up at 3am in Forest Hill all count as emergencies. The line is open 24 hours, there is no callout fee if you go ahead, and the quote is free on the phone.
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 Southeast London and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.
