What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a flat in the centre of Perth, a farmhouse near Blairgowrie or a holiday let in Aviemore? Give us the address and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you, and standard doors are opened with the right tools.
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 Perth
Hard frost and driving rain across Perthshire and the Highlands swell old timber doors and stiffen cold locks, so doors that stick and locks that will not turn are more likely in winter.

Locked out in Perth: 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.
Which areas around Perth do you cover?
Every PH postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Crieff, Auchterarder, Blairgowrie, Pitlochry, Aberfeldy. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
My keys are inside. How much does it cost?
Door opening starts from £39 in Perth. 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 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 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.
Do you cover Pitlochry, Aviemore and Fort William as well as Perth?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole PH postcode area, from Perth, Crieff, Auchterarder and Blairgowrie to Pitlochry, Aviemore, Fort William and Mallaig. Give us your village or postcode when you call and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.
How long will an engineer take to reach a village a long way from Perth?
It depends on the distance and the road, so we do not quote one figure for the whole area. Tell us where you are when you call and we will give you an arrival time on the phone.
