What happens when you are locked out
Locked out of a terrace in Millfield, a flat near Mowbray Park or a house in Seaham?
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 Sunderland: 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 Sunderland, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Which areas around Sunderland do you cover?
Every SR postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Durham, Gateshead, Washington, Seaham, Roker, Houghton-le-Spring. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
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 Seaham and Peterlee as well as Sunderland itself?
Yes. Our engineers cover the whole SR area, including Seaham, Murton, Peterlee, Easington and Horden as well as Sunderland, Roker and Whitburn.
Can you replace the lock on a timber door in a Victorian terrace in Hendon or Millfield?
Yes. Terraces of this kind often have timber front doors, and our engineers fit BS3621 mortice locks to suit them.
