What happens when you are locked out

If you are locked out of a flat in a Hove terrace or a house in Worthing or Eastbourne, call with the address and an engineer comes straight out. They assess the lock, open the door and confirm the price before starting.

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.

Locked out in Brighton: 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.

I lost my keys. Should I change the locks?

If the keys could be linked to your address, yes. We can open the door and fit a new cylinder in the same visit, from £88.

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.

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.

My keys are inside. How much does it cost?

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

Do you cover Worthing and Eastbourne as well as Brighton and Hove?

Yes. Our engineers work across the whole BN area, including Lewes, Worthing, Littlehampton, Eastbourne and the Wealden villages inland.

Do you work on the old timber doors found in Regency terraces?

Yes. Our engineers fit BS3621 mortice locks and rim locks to suit period timber doors, as well as anti-snap cylinders on the uPVC and composite doors of newer homes.
