What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a mansion-block flat in West Hampstead, an Edwardian house in Cricklewood or a flat in Harlesden? Our engineers open standard doors with the right tools and check the lock works before leaving.
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 Northwest London: 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.
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.
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 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.
Do you cover Hampstead, Golders Green, Hendon and Mill Hill as well as Camden?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the NW postcode area, including Camden, Primrose Hill, Hampstead, St John's Wood, Kilburn, Cricklewood, Willesden, Hendon, Golders Green and Mill Hill.
Can an older timber front door in Hampstead or St John's Wood be fitted with a modern BS3621 lock?
Usually yes, if the door itself is sound. The engineer looks at the door, says which lock suits it and confirms the price before any work begins.
