What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a stone terrace in Halifax, Elland or Sowerby Bridge? Call us and an engineer will work on getting you back inside, with typical arrival of 15 to 20 minutes.
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 Halifax: 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.
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 Halifax, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 you cover hillside villages like Heptonstall and Ripponden as well as Halifax itself?
Yes. The 24/7 line covers Halifax, Elland, Sowerby Bridge, Ripponden, Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall. Steep roads can add to the journey, so we confirm the arrival time for your address when you call.
Can you replace a lock on an old timber door in a mill terrace?
Yes. The engineer checks the thickness and condition of the door and fits a lock that suits it, usually a BS3621 mortice lock for an external timber door. That keeps the door looking right while meeting the standard many insurers ask for.
