Locked Out of Your House?

Do not try to force or drill the lock yourself. In Wingate a customer who had lost the front door keys tried to drill the lock out before calling us; the lock was then changed to an anti-snap thumbturn. Getting in without damage is usually possible, and it leaves less to repair afterwards.

Please Do Not Drill the Lock

It is tempting to try to get in yourself. Drilling or forcing a cylinder may not open the door, can damage the door and the mechanism around the lock, and leaves a bigger repair. One Wingate lock had already been drilled at before we were called; the door was opened and the lock replaced with an anti-snap thumbturn. Call first, and the lock may only need opening.

Keys Lost, Snapped or Never Handed Over

With lost keys or a property that came without any, the door is opened and the cylinder changed, so only your keys work. A snapped key is extracted from the cylinder. A door that will not lock is treated as urgent if the property cannot be left; after a break-in, see burglary repairs in Wingate.
