What happens when you are locked out

Locked out of a flat in Southsea, a terrace in North End or a house in Fareham?

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 Portsmouth: 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.

Which areas around Portsmouth do you cover?

Every PO postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Southampton, Fareham, Gosport, Havant, Cosham, Portsea. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.

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.

Do you cover Hayling Island, Gosport and Chichester as well as Portsmouth?

Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole PO postcode area, including Gosport, Fareham, Havant, Hayling Island, Chichester and Bognor Regis.

Can someone repair the lock on a communal front door in a converted Southsea house?

Yes. Call the 24-hour line and describe the door, and the quote is free on the phone. We will check who is entitled to authorise the work before we start.
