FAQs
How quickly can you reach me for an emergency call-out in Newcastle?
​
Our target is 30 minutes across Newcastle and North Tyneside. Exact timing depends on your location and the time of day, but we operate 24/7 and there is always someone available to take your call.
​
Is there a call-out fee for emergency jobs?
​
No. There is no call-out fee. We will give you a price for the work before we start, and that is what you pay.
​
What if you cannot open my lock without drilling it?
​
We always attempt non-destructive entry first. In the vast majority of cases we can open a lock without drilling, which means the original lock may still be usable. If drilling is the only option, we will tell you before we do it and replace the lock on the same visit.
​
Do you carry replacement locks with you?​
​
Yes. We keep a range of replacement cylinders and locks in the van, covering the most common residential and commercial door types. This means most emergency jobs are resolved on the first visit without needing to order parts.
​
Can you come out late at night or over a weekend?​
​
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The pricing structure is the same regardless of when you call.
​
I have just had a break-in and my lock is damaged. What should I do?
​
Call us on 07968 567171. We will come out, secure the property, and replace any damaged locks. Where the door frame or door itself has been damaged, we can board up temporarily while a permanent repair is arranged. Do not leave a damaged property unsecured overnight.
