What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a student house near the University of Warwick or a family home in Wyken? Give us the address and an engineer sets off to get you back in, explaining what is involved before any work begins.
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 Coventry: 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 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.
Do nights and weekends cost more?
No. The price is the same at 3am on a Sunday as it is at midday on a Tuesday, bank holidays included.
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 Rugby, Nuneaton and Leamington Spa as well as Coventry?
Yes. The CV area runs well beyond the city to Rugby, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon. The 24 hour line, no callout fee if you go ahead, and free phone quote apply across all of it.
Can you help if I am locked out of a student house near the universities?
Yes. Engineers attend student houses and flats around Coventry University, Cannon Park and the University of Warwick just as they would any other address. You get a quote on the phone, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
