What happens when you are locked out
Locked out in Guildford town centre, on a Woking cul-de-sac or at a cottage down a Surrey Hills lane? Call us and an engineer will work on getting you back inside, with typical arrival of 15 to 20 minutes around the larger towns.
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 Guildford: 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.
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 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.
My keys are inside. How much does it cost?
Door opening starts from £39 in Guildford. 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 Woking, Farnham and the villages in the Surrey Hills?
Yes. The same 24/7 line covers Guildford, Woking, Godalming, Farnham, Aldershot, Farnborough and the villages between them. Country roads in the Surrey Hills can slow a journey, so we confirm the arrival time for your address when you call.
Can you replace the lock on an old oak front door?
Yes. The engineer checks the thickness and condition of the door first, then suggests a lock that suits it, usually a BS3621 mortice lock for an external timber door.
