What happens when you are locked out

Locked out of a flat near Ilford station, a terrace in Goodmayes or a family house in Woodford?

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 Ilford: 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.

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 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.

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 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.

Do you cover Chigwell, Woodford and Loughton as well as Ilford?

Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the IG postcode area, including Barkingside, Gants Hill, Seven Kings, Goodmayes, Barking, Chigwell, Woodford, Buckhurst Hill and Loughton. Give us your street and postcode and we will confirm the arrival time on the call.

I am locked out of a flat near Ilford station. Can you get me in?

Yes. Flat entrance doors usually have a mortice lock, a nightlatch or a multipoint mechanism, and our engineers open standard doors with the right tools. They check the lock works before they leave, and confirm the price before starting.
