What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a Victorian terrace in Barton or a new-build in Quedgeley? Call us and the engineer will work on getting you back inside, with no callout fee if you go ahead, and typical arrival of 15 to 20 minutes around the city.
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 Gloucester: 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 you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Gloucester, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Which areas around Gloucester do you cover?
Every GL postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, Quedgeley, Hucclecote. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
Do you cover Cheltenham, Stroud and the Cotswolds as well as Gloucester?
Yes. The same 24/7 line covers Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury and the Forest of Dean. Give us your address when you call and we will confirm the arrival time and a free quote.
I live in a period or listed house. Will a new lock suit my door?
Usually, yes. The engineer will look at the age, thickness and style of the door and recommend a BS3621 mortice lock or a suitable cylinder that fits the existing timber. For a listed building, check with your council's conservation team before making changes to the door.
