What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a flat in Hamilton, a house in Bellshill or a bungalow in Larkhall?
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 Motherwell

Locked out in Motherwell: 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 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.
Which areas around Motherwell do you cover?
Every ML postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Hamilton, Wishaw, Bellshill, Coatbridge, Airdrie, Larkhall. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
Do you cover Lanark, Biggar and Strathaven as well as Motherwell?
Yes. The ML postcode area stretches from Motherwell and Airdrie out to Lanark, Biggar, Carluke and Strathaven, and the same 24-hour line covers all of it. Tell us the town and street when you call and we will confirm the arrival time on the phone.
Can you repair a uPVC door where the handle lifts but the door will not lock?
Usually, yes. That is typically a worn gearbox or multipoint lock, and our engineers carry common uPVC parts, so many repairs are done during the visit. You will be told the price before any work begins.
