What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a terrace near the cathedral, a farmhouse in the Golden Valley or a flat in Ross-on-Wye?
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 Hereford
Wet winters and the occasional flood along the Wye and its tributaries can swell old timber doors, so locks start to bind and stop lining up with the keep.

Locked out in Hereford: 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.
Which areas around Hereford do you cover?
Every HR postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye, Leominster, Abergavenny, Bromyard, Kington. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 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 Hereford, 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.
Do you cover Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye and Leominster as well as Hereford?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole HR postcode area, including Bromyard, Kington and Hay-on-Wye as well as those three towns. Give us your postcode on the call and we will confirm the arrival time and give you a free quote.
Can you repair the lock on an old timber door in a black-and-white village cottage?
Yes. Cottage doors in places such as Weobley are often old timber fitted with a rim lock or a worn mortice. The engineer looks at the door first, repairs or replaces the lock to suit it, and confirms the price before starting work.
