Domestic lockouts
House & flat lockouts (uPVC, composite, timber)
Lost keys, keys snapped, door won’t open, multipoint mechanism jammed. We aim for non-destructive entry first, then fix what actually failed.
Common lockout problems we fix
- uPVC door won’t open (misalignment, failed gearbox, failed strip)
- Key turns but the door won’t unlock
- Snapped key in cylinder
- Nightlatch / deadlock failures
- Stuck patio doors & window locking issues (where accessible)
What you can do right now
- Tell us the door type and handle style.
- If safe, send a photo by message (helps us bring the right parts).
- Don’t force it: broken gearboxes and snapped keys get worse fast.
What happens when you call
- Tell us the door type (uPVC/composite/timber) and what it’s doing.
- We give an honest ETA and an upfront quote based on what you’ve described.
- Non-destructive entry first wherever possible.
- Fix the cause (alignment, mechanism, cylinder) so it doesn’t repeat.
