How quickly can you get to me in an emergency?
We aim to be on-site within 30 to 60 minutes for all local property emergencies, including lockouts, broken glazing, and boarding-up. As a mobile-first service, our vans are fully stocked and GPS-tracked, ensuring the closest technician is dispatched immediately to secure your home or business.
Will you have to damage my door or window to get me in?
Our priority is always non-destructive entry wherever that is possible. Using specialist picks and bypass tools, we can open the vast majority of domestic and commercial locks without causing any damage to the door or frame. If a lock is faulty and must be drilled, we will always discuss this with you first and provide an immediate replacement to leave your property secure.
Are your emergency repairs and locks insurance-approved?
Yes. We install high-security hardware that meets or exceeds British Standard BS3621 and 3-Star Anti-Snap requirements. Whether we are performing an emergency lock change or a “make-safe” glazing repair, our work is designed to satisfy the “minimum security” clauses of major UK insurance providers, protecting your cover and your peace of mind.
Can you secure my property even if a replacement isn’t available immediately?
Absolutely. If a bespoke door, glass unit, or specialist commercial lock isn’t available on the spot, we provide emergency boarding-up or “make-safe” glazing film to ensure your property isn’t left vulnerable. We can also install heavy-duty temporary doors for longer-term security while your permanent solution is being prepared.
Do you charge a call-out fee for emergency visits?
We believe in transparent, honest pricing. We offer fixed-fee quotes for most common emergency jobs, meaning you’ll know the cost before we start work. Unlike many national “call centres,” we are local independent specialists, so you aren’t paying for hidden commissions or “premium” emergency surcharges—just expert service at a fair price.
Urgent Situation?
Residential Boarding
Our residential emergency boarding-up service provides an immediate, secure solution for homeowners facing the aftermath of a break-in, accidental damage, or severe weather. We prioritise rapid response to ensure your property is not left vulnerable, using high-quality, heavy-duty timber boarding that is securely fitted to the window or door frame without causing further structural damage. Beyond just ‘closing the gap’, we focus on restoring your peace of mind and protecting your home’s contents from both intruders and the elements until a permanent glass or door replacement can be arranged. This 24/7 emergency service is designed to meet insurance requirements, providing a robust, temporary deterrent that keeps your family safe during a stressful situation.
Commercial Shop Fronts
Our commercial shop front security service provides retail business owners with a specialised approach to high-traffic entrance points, where aesthetics must meet ironclad protection. We specialise in the repair and installation of heavy-duty pivot hinges, concealed overhead closers, and high-security deadlatches specifically designed for aluminium and glass retail doors. From fixing ‘drag’ on the shop floor to upgrading to insurance-approved hook bolts and reinforced strike plates, we ensure your premises remain secure after hours while functioning perfectly for customers during the day. By focusing on the unique hardware requirements of retail environments, we help prevent the most common forced-entry techniques used against high-street stores, providing a professional finish that protects both your stock and your brand’s image.
Emergency Glazing Make-Safe
Our emergency glazing make-safe service provides an immediate, professional response to shattered or compromised glass, ensuring your property is secured and hazard-free within the hour. We specialise in the rapid removal of dangerous shards and the installation of heavy-duty, weather-resistant security film or temporary glazing panels that provide a robust barrier without the bulky appearance of traditional boarding. This service is specifically designed for high-street shopfronts, office partitions, and domestic patio doors where maintaining a level of visibility or light is essential while awaiting a permanent glass replacement. By focusing on a clean, professional make-safe, we help businesses stay open and homeowners feel secure, providing a critical stop-gap that satisfies insurance requirements and protects against further entry or injury.
Insurance Compliant
Our insurance compliant security upgrades ensure your property meets the stringent ‘minimum security’ requirements dictated by major UK insurers, protecting your cover in the event of a claim. We specialise in the professional installation of British Standard BS3621 mortice locks, 3-star anti-snap cylinders, and high-security hardware that satisfies the ‘fine print’ of most domestic and commercial policies. Many homeowners and businesses are unaware that using non-certified locks can void their theft protection; our audit service identifies these vulnerabilities and provides documented certification of compliance. By aligning your physical security with the latest industry standards, we provide the dual benefit of a robust physical deterrent and the professional assurance that your insurance remains fully valid and enforceable..
