What happens when you are locked out

If you are locked out of a flat in Westbourne or a house in Southbourne, give us the address on the phone and an engineer comes straight out.

Tell us what kind of door it is (timber, uPVC or composite) and what lock is on it. Most lockouts are a nightlatch that has shut behind someone, a uPVC door with the key inside, or a key that has snapped or got stuck in the lock.

If the lock has to be drilled, because the keys are lost or the lock has failed, we tell you before we start and fit a new lock on the spot, so you are not left with a door you cannot lock.

Locksmiths who know Bournemouth

Salt-laden sea air along the Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch coast corrodes exposed locks, handles and window hardware, so cylinders and fittings wear out sooner than they do inland.

Locked out in Bournemouth: common questions

Will my door or lock be damaged?

We always try to open the door without damage first. Some locks cannot be opened that way and have to be drilled or replaced. If so, the engineer tells you why and confirms the price before starting, and fits a new lock straight away.

My key has snapped or is stuck in the lock. Can you get me in?

Yes. The engineer takes the broken piece out of the cylinder, opens the door and checks the lock. If the cylinder is worn or damaged, you get the price of a new one before it is fitted.

My keys are inside. How much does it cost?

Door opening starts from £39 in Bournemouth. You get a quote on the phone once you tell us the door and lock type, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.

How quickly can someone get to me?

An engineer is typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes, and within 30 minutes at most. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.

How does pricing work?

Tell us the door, the lock and what has happened, and we give you a free quote on the phone. When the engineer arrives, they check the lock and confirm the final price with you before starting any work. Nothing is done without your agreement. A £49 assessment fee applies only if you cancel after the engineer has arrived.

How do I pay?

When the job is finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, and you get a written receipt you can use for an insurance claim.

Do you cover Poole, Christchurch and Wimborne as well as Bournemouth?

Yes. Our engineers work across the BH area, including Poole, Parkstone, Christchurch, Ferndown, Wimborne and the Purbeck towns.

Can you help with a lock that has corroded from sea air on a seafront flat?

Yes. Salt air is hard on locks, hinges and window hardware near the coast, and our engineers replace worn or corroded cylinders and fit BS3621 and anti-snap locks.
