What happens when you are locked out

Shut out of a Lenton shared house, a Lace Market flat or a family home in Sherwood? 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 Nottingham: 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.

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.

My keys are inside. How much does it cost?

Door opening starts from £39 in Nottingham. 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 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.

Do you cover Mansfield, Grantham and Newark as well as Nottingham?

Yes. The NG postcode area reaches Mansfield, Newark-on-Trent, Grantham and Sleaford, and one 24-hour number covers all of it.

I rent a shared student house in Lenton. Can I ring you if I lose my key at night?

Yes, the phone line is open 24 hours a day and the quote is free. An engineer can open the door and, if the lock needs changing, confirm the price with you before starting. If you rent, it is worth letting your landlord know.
