Which areas do you cover?

What happens if my key breaks in the lock?

If that happens, you should call us immediately. We strongly discourage our clients from removing the broken keys on their own because they may cause further damage, thus raising the cost of repair. Depending on where the key has broken, our technicians can remove and repair the lock. However, if it is badly damaged, for example, the cylinder is gone, the only option left will be to replace the entire lock. Our team will first examine the lock then recommend the best possible solution.

Yes, we offer emergency locksmith services 24/7, from Sunday to Saturday. We know that a locksmith emergency can occur at any time. This means that our expert team responds even on weekends and Bank holidays. In emergencies, we usually try to respond as quickly as possible. However, we do limit our emergency locksmith service regarding the weather conditions or other force majeure.

Can I postpone the requested service?

Yes, you have such an option. You can always call us and reschedule the appointment. Our locksmith can come at any convenient time for you.

I cannot afford the complete lock replacement, can I get a repair instead?

Of course. We always strive to give our clients what they want. If you are on a tight budget and cannot afford the lock replacement, we will do our best to repair it to ensure that we lower your cost. In case, if the lock is damaged beyond repair or if we feel that the repair will not be effective, we shall warn you before starting. Your safety and wellbeing is our first priority.

I have heard that British standard locks are the best quality, it is true?

There are many types of locks in circulation in the Manchester market. Our professionals recommend British standard locks in order to stay in line with the current legislation and also to ensure that you comply with your insurance policy.
