What happens when you are locked out
Shut out of a city centre flat, a Fallowfield student house or a terrace in Levenshulme? Ring us, give the address and postcode, and we will get an engineer on the way to open the door.
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 Manchester: 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.
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 Manchester. 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 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 Manchester, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Do you cover Salford and Trafford as well as Manchester itself?
Yes. The M postcode area runs well beyond the city boundary, and we cover Salford, Stretford, Sale, Eccles, Prestwich and Failsworth among many others.
I live in a city centre flat with a fob-entry building. Can you help if I am locked out of my flat?
We can open and, if needed, replace the lock on your own flat door. The main building entrance and fob system are usually run by the managing agent, so they would need to be contacted separately for those.
