What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a flat in Finnieston, a main-door house in Pollokshields or a tenement in Dennistoun? Our engineers open standard doors with the right tools, then check the lock still works properly before they leave.
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 Glasgow
Glasgow's frequent rain swells old timber flat doors in the tenements, so mortice and nightlatch locks bind and keys snap in them more often than they should.

Locked out in Glasgow: 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.
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 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.
My keys are inside. How much does it cost?
Door opening starts from £39 in Glasgow. 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.
Can you open the shared close door of my tenement?
Yes. Our engineers work on communal close doors, entry-phone doors and individual flat doors. For a shared door we will want to confirm you live in the building, and replacing a communal lock usually needs the agreement of the other owners or the factor.
Do you cover the towns outside the city, like Clydebank and Cumbernauld?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers Clydebank, Bearsden, Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch, Cumbernauld and the other towns in the G postcode area. Give us your street and postcode and we confirm the arrival time on the phone.
