Emergency Lockout in Colchester
Locked out of your home or flat. Non-destructive entry wherever the lock allows it.
Slipped out to the bins, snapped the key, lost the lot on a night out — it happens. I pick, bypass or manipulate the lock open where I can, and only drill as a last resort with your say-so. If a cylinder does have to come out, a like-for-like replacement goes back in the same visit so you're not sat behind a broken door.
Local note — Colchester
Home patch. Huge spread of housing age here — Victorian terraces off North Hill on five-lever mortices, and New Town builds on euro cylinders that came in at builder's-basic spec. The job's rarely the same twice.
