FAQ
Questions people ask us
Can you make all my doors use one key?+
Yes. Keyed-alike cylinders mean one key for the front, back and side doors. We do it on the spot during a lock change.
Are your locks insurance approved?+
Yes. We fit BS3621 mortice locks and TS007 anti-snap cylinders, which is what most home insurers ask for, and give you a dated receipt showing the grade.
Do you do car keys?+
No. We're a home and business locksmith and don't cut or programme vehicle keys. For a car lockout you'll want an auto locksmith.
Will you damage my door getting in?+
Almost never. Our engineers are trained in non-destructive entry and open the vast majority of locks with no damage. If a lock does have to be drilled, we tell you first and fit a new one on the spot.
Do you charge a call-out fee in York?+
No. You pay for the work, not for us turning up. The engineer confirms a fixed price on the phone before he sets off, and that's the price you pay.
