What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a flat near Romford station, a house in Harold Wood or a home in Elm Park?
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.

My key has snapped or is stuck in the lock. Can you get me in?
