Lockouts and urgent work
Lost or stolen business keys
When a business key goes missing, the worry is who might have it. Once you are back in, we can rekey the locks so the missing key stops working.
If the building runs on a master key system, tell us when you call. Changing one lock can affect which keys open which doors, so we check the system before we change anything.

Keeping control of keys
If keys keep going missing or staff change often, a restricted key system controls how replacement keys are ordered and who can authorise them. We can talk you through whether one suits your building.

Honest pricing
Lockouts are priced from a set starting figure, and after-hours work costs more. Tell us the address and what has happened, and we will explain the expected cost before a locksmith comes out.

Rekeying the locks makes that key stop working. If the building has a master key system, we check the system first so everyone else's keys keep working.
