Slammed shut or locked?
A slammed door is held shut by its latch. A locked door also has its bolt engaged. The difference affects the method and price. If you are unsure, describe how you closed the door and whether you turned the key.
A careful approach suited to the lock
We choose the method according to the door, fittings and cylinder condition. Damage-free opening cannot be guaranteed for every door. If work on the cylinder or a replacement is needed, the technician explains the reason and cost first.
Checking the door after opening
Tell us if the door is difficult to close or the key sticks. Opening alone may not fix the cause. Depending on the condition, we can recommend adjustment, maintenance or a suitable replacement.
Do not insert improvised tools into the lock or force it. This can make opening more difficult.
