What happens when you are locked out

Locked out of a flat on the Wet Dock, a terrace off Norwich Road or a house in Bramford?

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 Ipswich: 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.

My keys are inside. How much does it cost?

Door opening starts from £39 in Ipswich. You get a quote on the phone once you tell us the door and lock type, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.

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.

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 Felixstowe, Woodbridge and the Suffolk coast as well as Ipswich?

Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole IP postcode area, including Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, Southwold, Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds, and reaches into Norfolk at Diss and Thetford. Give us your postcode when you call and we will confirm the arrival time.

My insurer wants a British Standard lock on the front door of our Victorian terrace. What do we need?

For a timber door, a BS3621 mortice deadlock is the usual answer, and it is the standard many insurers ask for. The engineer checks the door on arrival, explains the options and confirms the price before starting.
