Emergency Door Opening: common questions
Can every door be opened without damage?
Most can, but not all. High-security anti-snap cylinders are designed to resist attack, so sometimes drilling is the only option. Your locksmith will explain before doing anything.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the lock, the work and the time of day. Your locksmith will tell you the price before starting, and nothing goes ahead until you agree.
