Helpful Advice
What to Do While You Wait for Your Locksmith
A few simple steps to stay safe and speed things up.
Stay Safe & Stay Put
If locked out at night, stay in a well-lit area near your door or a neighbour's. Don't attempt to force entry — this causes expensive damage and won't work on modern locks.
Check All Entry Points
Before we arrive, check if any windows or back doors are unlocked. Sometimes there's a simpler solution — we'd rather you know. It could save you money.
Have ID Ready (Rented Properties)
For flats or rented homes we may need proof of residence — a bank letter, utility bill or driving licence with the address. This protects you and your property.
Beware rogue locksmiths: Be cautious of very low advertised prices (£49 "call-out" bait tactics). A legitimate locksmith gives a clear, fixed total price before attending — not a "from" price that triples on arrival. We always quote honestly over the phone before we set off.
