Twenty-four hours means twenty-four hours, including the awkward ones.

Front doors, back doors, screen doors and sliders. Opened by pick or bypass in almost every case, which means the lock still works afterwards and you are not paying for replacement hardware you never asked for. If a lock genuinely cannot open without damage, you hear that before we start, along with what replacing it costs.

Air wedges open a gap at the top of the door frame and a long reach tool does the rest. Nothing touches the glass, the seal or the paint. If the key is lost rather than sitting on the seat, we cut and program a replacement beside the car for most makes on the road.

A new key cut to the lock on site, or the whole barrel rekeyed so the missing key stops working anywhere. If the keys disappeared somewhere public with anything identifying attached, rekeying is the only sensible answer and we will say so.

A forced door cannot wait until business hours. We make the opening secure the same night, photograph the damage before we touch anything so your insurer has the evidence, and come back to repair it properly afterwards.

Rekeying between tenants takes a few minutes per cylinder and costs a fraction of new hardware. Every key the previous tenant had copied stops working the moment we finish, which collecting keys back never achieves.

Deadbolts and deadlatches fitted to AS 4145 where the door can take them, keyed alike so a single key runs the house and the shed, and restricted key profiles where copies should not be possible at a hardware counter.
