What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a terrace near the town centre, a family home in Duston or a flat in Kettering? Ring us with your address and postcode and we will send an engineer 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 Northampton: 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 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 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.
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 you cover Kettering, Corby and Daventry as well as Northampton?
Yes. The NN postcode area spans Northampton and the towns around it, including Kettering, Corby, Daventry, Rushden and Towcester, and one 24-hour number covers all of it.
My terrace near the town centre still has its original front door lock. Is it worth changing?
Often, yes. Old locks wear with age, and they can be replaced with a modern BS3621 lock, with anti-snap cylinders fitted where the door has one. The engineer will look at the door and confirm the price before starting.
