Most calls here are not dramatic. A key that stopped working, a back door nobody can shut properly, or somebody who needs to get in while you are out at work.
Locked Out at the Front Door
The door has pulled shut on the latch, or the keys are somewhere between the car and the shops. The lock is opened where the door allows it, and the alternative is explained first if it does not.
Back Doors and Garage Side Doors
The doors nobody thinks about are usually the weakest ones on a property. A tired barrel on a side door can be swapped for something considerably harder to get past.
Window Catches That Will Not Turn
Window lock mechanisms are covered, on wooden and uPVC frames alike, when a window will not open, close or fasten. Glazing and frames themselves are a different trade.
Keys Lost Somewhere Between Home and Work
A lost key is only a problem if you cannot say where it went. Changing the barrel and cutting a fresh set puts the question to bed for the price of one visit.
Fitting a Lock Into a Door With None
Bedroom and study doors often arrive with nothing fitted at all. A range is brought for you to choose from, and the recommendation depends on the door material and what you want the lock to actually do.
Key Safes for Carers and Cleaners
A wall mounted key safe gives somebody access without handing over a key they could copy. It goes on outside walls as well as inside, and the price for it is fixed up front.
