Locksmith FAQs
Will entry damage my door?
Our locksmiths are trained in non-destructive entry techniques and will always try the least invasive method first. If drilling is unavoidable (e.g., severe lock damage), they'll explain this before proceeding.
How quickly can you get to me for a lockout?
We offer ASAP booking for lockouts. Job matching starts immediately and you'll see your tradesperson's estimated arrival time in the Fixie app.
Do I need proof of residency?
For lockouts our locksmiths may ask for proof of address (a utility bill or driving licence showing the property address) for your own security — they'll never enter a property without this.
What locks do you recommend?
We recommend British Standard BS3621 or TS007 3-star euro cylinders for front doors — these meet most home insurance requirements. Your locksmith can advise on the best option for your door type.
