What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a flat in Bevois Valley, a house in Woolston or a cottage in Hamble?
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 Southampton: 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 you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Southampton, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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.
Which areas around Southampton do you cover?
Every SO postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Portsmouth, Winchester, Eastleigh, Romsey, Bitterne, Shirley. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.

Door opening starts from £39 in Southampton. You get a quote on the phone once you tell us the door and lock type, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
Can I get new locks fitted quickly on a student let in Portswood?
