Common lockout situations in Bristol
- The door has shut behind you with the keys inside
- Keys lost on a night out or stolen
- The key turns but the door won't open
- A uPVC door handle has failed and the door won't open
- A tenant or family member has changed the locks
How we help
Most front doors can be opened without damage. Nightlatches (Yale-type locks) can often be slipped or bypassed. uPVC and composite doors can be opened with specialist tools. Mortice deadlocks may need picking. If a lock can't be opened without damage, your locksmith will explain why and agree a replacement with you before drilling.
1. Tell us where you are
Give us your postcode and describe the door and lock if you can.
2. Locksmith arranged
We arrange a vetted local locksmith and give you an estimated arrival time.
3. Back inside
Non-destructive entry first. If a lock is damaged, it can be replaced the same visit.

Questions
Will I need to prove I live there?
Your locksmith may ask for ID or proof of address once inside. This protects you and stops people being let into homes that aren't theirs.
I rent. Can you still help?
Yes. Let your landlord know, as some tenancies require any lock change to be approved.
