What counts as an emergency

A key snapped in a front door in Hendon, a back door that will not lock in Pennywell or a latch that fails at 3am in Roker all count as emergencies.

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