What We Do When We Arrive

Upon receiving an emergency call, our team quickly gears up to assist you, guaranteeing we're prepared for any lock-related issue.

When we arrive, the first step is verifying your identity — an essential measure for security. We'll ask for a driver's licence, utility bill, or passport. Sometimes, a quick call to your building manager or porter suffices.

Once identity is confirmed, we assess the lock. Our goal is always to minimize damage: we may pick the lock, use a letterbox or sash jammer, or, if necessary, drill the cylinder. any necessary cylinder replacement is included in our work.

Before starting, we provide a fixed quote with no hidden fees or extra charges. Our discreet vehicles guarantee a low-profile presence, respecting your privacy and neighborhood ambiance.

Most lockouts resolve swiftly, often within 15-30 minutes, allowing you to regain access with minimal fuss.

What NOT to Do While Waiting

Our rapid response is just one part of the service we offer across South West London. While we're on our way, it's essential to avoid actions that could complicate the situation. Here's what not to do:

  1. Don't pick the lock: Using a hairpin or screwdriver might seem tempting, but it bends pins and breaks the cylinder. This can turn a simple job into a costly full replacement.
  2. Don't slide a card down the latch: Modern multipoint hooks won't be defeated this way. Attempting this can break your card inside the mechanism, especially on doors with Yale Lockmaster gearboxes.
  3. Don't kick the door: This will split the frame around the strike plate. For period or conservation-area doors, this requires expensive joinery repair.
  4. Don't panic: Stay calm and safe. We'll arrive in 5-12 minutes to handle the situation efficiently.
