7 Essential Security Tips to Avoid Lockouts

Prevent emergencies before they happen

1

Spare Keys in Multiple Locations

Leave spare keys with trusted neighbours, family, or in a secure lock box. Never hide under doormats or flower pots.

2

Smart Locks or Key Pads

Install keypad or smart locks for emergency access. Modern locks allow temporary access codes for family or renters.

3

Regular Lock Maintenance

Check locks quarterly for wear, stiffness, or issues. Fix minor problems before they cause emergency lockouts.

4

Double-Check Before Closing Doors

Establish a habit: check for keys before closing doors, especially when leaving in a rush.

5

Track Key Locations

Use key hooks in visible locations, key tags, or apps to track where keys are. Reduces panic when keys go missing.

6

Save Our Emergency Number

Save our 24/7 locksmith number (+44 7478 036544) in your phone. Fast response when emergencies happen.

7

Modern Locks Are Affordable

Upgrade to modern locks (£80-200) before emergencies force you into emergency calls. Prevents repeated lockout costs and stress.

Will you damage my door or lock?

We prioritize non-destructive entry methods. In most cases, we gain access without any damage to your door, frame, or lock. If damage is unavoidable (e.g., if the lock is severely broken), we'll inform you upfront and provide repair options. Our 12-month guarantee covers any issues with our work.

Do you offer guarantees on your work?

Absolutely. We offer a 12-month workmanship guarantee on all our services. If any lock, key, or access system we install has an issue within 12 months, we'll fix it for free. We also guarantee fast response (1-2 hours) and non-destructive entry when possible, or your money back.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major payment methods: cash, card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), bank transfers, and digital wallets. We'll provide an invoice on-site if needed for insurance or expense claims. Fixed pricing means no surprises after the job is done.

Are your locksmiths qualified and insured?

Yes. All our locksmiths are DBS checked, fully insured (liability and professional indemnity), and hold relevant locksmithing qualifications. We're vetted contractors and your service is fully covered by our insurance. You can request credentials when booking.

We cover the UK nationwide. London response time: 1-2 hours typically. Regional areas: 2-4 hours depending on location. Call us to confirm ETA for your postcode. We also handle commercial lockouts across the UK with dedicated rapid-response teams for business emergencies.

What if I've lost my keys? Can you make new ones?

Yes! If you've lost your keys, we can gain you safe access first (£50-100 depending on lock type), then cut new keys on-site if you can prove ownership of the property (ID + bill, lease, or deed). New keys typically cost £20-50 each depending on the lock type. We use high-security keys for modern locks.

Will your insurance cover the locksmith call?

Many home and landlord insurance policies include emergency locksmith coverage. Check your policy first. If covered, we can provide an invoice and proof of service for your insurance claim.
