What happens when you are locked out

Locked out of a flat in the Merkinch, a villa on Ness Bank or a house in Culloden?

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 Inverness

Hard winter frosts and wind-driven rain off the Moray Firth are tough on door furniture, and a cold snap can freeze a cylinder or swell a timber door in its frame.

Locked out in Inverness: 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 on the mainland. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.

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.

Which areas around Inverness do you cover?

Every IV postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Nairn, Dingwall, Elgin, Forres, Invergordon. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.

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 far from Inverness do you cover?

The same 24-hour line covers the whole IV postcode area, including Nairn, Elgin, Forres, Dingwall, Tain, Dornoch, Ullapool and Kyle of Lochalsh. Distances are long in the Highlands, so give us your postcode on the call and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.

My lock has frozen solid in a hard frost. Can you get me inside?

Yes. A cylinder that seizes in the cold is a common reason for a call, and our engineers can free it, repair it or replace it. They check the door locks properly before they leave, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
