What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a terrace off Spring Bank or a flat near Hull Marina? Call the line and an engineer heads to you, with typical arrival of 15 to 20 minutes and a free quote given before anyone sets off.
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 Hull: 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 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.
My keys are inside. How much does it cost?
Door opening starts from £39 in Hull. 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 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 Hull, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Do you cover Hessle, Cottingham and Beverley as well as Hull itself?
Yes. The same 24/7 line covers Hull, Hessle, Anlaby, Willerby, Cottingham, Beverley and the villages around them. Give us your address when you call and we will confirm the arrival time and a free quote.
Does the weather off the Humber shorten the life of a lock?
It can, because damp and wind speed up wear on older cylinders, hinges and letterplates. If a lock has started to stick or the key turns stiffly, a repair now is usually easier than an emergency visit later.
