Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we get asked most. Can't find yours? Just call.

How long will it take for you to get to me?

It depends where you're coming from - anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes. When you call we'll give you an honest arrival time based on where our locksmith is right now.

Are you really available 24 hours a day?

Yes. We answer the phone day and night, 365 days a year, including weekends and bank holidays. Night-time and bank holiday call-outs may carry a higher rate.

How much does a locksmith cost?

It depends on the job, the time of day and any parts needed. Call us and we'll talk you through it.

Will you damage my door to get in?

In most cases, no. We always try non-destructive entry first, so your door and lock stay intact. If a lock has failed and has to be drilled, we'll explain why before we start and fit a replacement straight away.

What should I do if I'm locked out?

Stay somewhere safe and warm, then call or WhatsApp us. We'll ask for your postcode and what kind of door and lock you have, then give you an arrival time. Please have photo ID or some proof that you live at the property ready - we ask everyone, for your protection.

Can you change the locks after lost or stolen keys?

Yes, and we treat it as a priority. We can replace or re-key locks the same day and provide an itemised invoice if you need one.

Do you work with landlords and letting agents?

Yes. Lock changes between tenancies, gaining entry, and repairs across multiple properties. Regular clients can have priority call-outs and monthly invoicing.

Which areas do you cover?

Nottingham, Derby and everywhere within a 25 mile radius, including Beeston, West Bridgford, Wollaton, Clifton, Arnold, Carlton, Long Eaton and Hucknall. If you're not sure, call - we'll tell you straight away whether we can help.

How can I pay?

Cash or bank transfer on completion. You'll always receive an itemised receipt.
