Lockout Do’s and Don’ts

Don’t try to break in to your own home as you may cause damage to your property and yourself by doing so.

Don’t call your local emergency services such as the police or fire brigade, they will charge you and may damage your door as they are not trained locksmiths by trade. These types of emergency call outs to these services are said to cost taxpayers more than 5 million pounds a year.

Don’t force the wooden or uPVC door. This could cause further damage to the door and incur costly repairs.

Do call your local emergency locksmith straight away on...

The locksmith will then ask you the following questions...

Where are your house keys? Are they inside your property, stolen or lost? If your keys have been lost or stolen you will need to make your local Police Station aware and give the incident number to the locksmith.

What type of lock do you have on your door? Is your door uPVC or wooden? Is the lock shoulder height or waist height?

If your lock is faulty the local locksmith will ask you to give a brief description of what is happening when you are trying to unlock your door.

Is your lock faulty?

Wait for the local locksmith to arrive...The majority of locksmiths will recommend an emergency response time of around 30 minutes* . Just enough time for a coffee or tea whilst you wait!
