Locked Out After Losing the Keys: a Job Near Peterlee

When the keys are lost rather than locked inside, getting in is only half the job: the lock is changed so the missing keys no longer open the door.

Keys lost, no way in — Horden. The customer had lost the keys and could not get into the property. The door was opened without damage and the lock was changed. See the job

Locked Out of Your House?

Do not force the door; getting in without damage comes first, and a lock is only replaced when it needs to be or when the keys are no longer under your control. In Easington there were no keys to the front door at all: a London auction house had just sold the property, so we got in without damage, fitted a new anti-snap lock and installed a key safe.

When the Keys Are Gone

If the keys are lost or were never handed over, getting in is only half the job: the cylinder is changed straight afterwards so any key still out there stops working. In Easington, a property bought at auction came with no keys at all; entry was gained without damage, a new anti-snap lock fitted and a key safe added.

Snapped Keys and Failed Locks

A snapped key is drawn out before the lock is assessed; prising at it pushes it further in. If the key is fine but the lock has failed and the door will not open or will not lock, the door is opened first and the failed cylinder or gearbox replaced.
