What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a flat near the cathedral, a house in Dogsthorpe or a cottage in Wansford?
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 Peterborough: 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 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.
My keys are inside. How much does it cost?
Door opening starts from £39 in Peterborough. You get a quote on the phone once you tell us the door and lock type, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
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 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.
Can you replace the lock on a Victorian terrace in Millfield without changing the whole door?
In most cases the new lock can be fitted to the existing door. The engineer will look at the door on arrival, explain the options and confirm the price before starting.
Is there a callout fee if I live in a village out in the Fens?
No. Callouts carry no fee anywhere in the PE area, and the quote is free on the phone. Tell us the village and the nearest street and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.
