Stay safe
Wait somewhere well lit — in your car, or with a neighbour.
Check every door
Back doors, patio doors and garage doors are sometimes left unlocked. Don’t climb through windows.
Think of spare keys
A family member, neighbour or landlord may have a spare.
Renting? Call your landlord
Many landlords and letting agents have an emergency number.
Call a 24/7 locksmith
Ask for the total price before they set off. Ours is from £120 at night, with no call-out fee.
What not to do when you are locked out
Don’t force the door
Breaking a window or forcing a door costs far more to repair than a locksmith.
Don’t use a national call centre
They often add hidden fees and send someone from miles away. Use a local Birmingham locksmith.
Don’t agree to work without a price
Never let anyone start until you have agreed the total cost.

How quickly can you get to me at night?
We work 24/7 and aim to arrive within 20–30 minutes in most areas.
Do you cover my area?
Birmingham, Dudley, Solihull, West Bromwich and Sutton Coldfield, plus surrounding areas.
What if I have lost my keys rather than locked them inside?
We will change the lock so the lost keys can never be used. A euro cylinder change is from £90.
I rent my home — should I call my landlord first?
Check your tenancy agreement, as many landlords and letting agents have an emergency line. If you cannot reach them, we can let you in and give you an invoice for your landlord.
