What Should You Do If You're Locked Out of Your Home?

Being locked out is stressful, but a few sensible steps can save you time and money. Here’s what I recommend:

Call 999 first in an emergency. If a child or vulnerable person is alone inside, or something is left cooking, contact the emergency services straight away.
Check other doors and windows safely. A back door or patio door may be unlocked. Don’t climb up to a window or try to force one open, as it’s an easy way to get hurt or damage the frame.
Think about who has a spare key. A partner, family member, neighbour, landlord or letting agent may be the quickest fix.
Don’t try to force the lock yourself. Bank cards and screwdrivers rarely work on modern locks and often turn a simple lockout into an expensive repair.
Call a local locksmith. Ring 07786 373033, tell me your address and the type of door, and I’ll give you a price and arrival time.
Have proof of address ready. A driving licence, utility bill or bank statement on your phone is fine. I’ll ask to see it before opening the door.

Changing Your Locks After Moving Home

When you move into a new house, you can’t know how many keys the previous owners, tenants, builders or estate agents still have. Changing the locks is one of the first things I recommend to any new homeowner in Leeds. It’s quick, it’s affordable, and it means the only keys to your home are the ones in your pocket. If your existing locks are old or low security, it’s also the ideal time to look at lock replacements and upgrades.

Locks That Meet Insurance Standards

Many UK home insurance policies require specific locks on external doors, and a claim can be refused if yours don’t meet the terms. On wooden doors, insurers usually ask for five-lever mortice deadlocks made to BS3621. On uPVC and composite doors, I fit euro cylinders rated TS007 3-star or Sold Secure SS312 Diamond, which are tested against lock snapping, one of the most common ways burglars get through uPVC doors.

Not sure what you have? I’ll check your current locks and tell you whether they’re up to standard. It’s also worth reading your own policy wording, as requirements vary between insurers.

What Happens When You Call Me

When you ring 07786 373033, you’ll speak to me directly, not a booking agent. I’ll ask a few quick questions, give you a price and an arrival time, and get on the road. When I arrive, I’ll show identification, complete the work and test everything with you before I leave.
