Repairs after a break-in

If you have been the victim of a break-in, you carry out the two tasks below before calling us for assistance.

• Call the police - they should be the first ones to arrive at the crime scene to collect evidence if necessary.
• Call your insurance company - they’ll be paying the bill.

The "slammed-shut door"

Sometimes this is possible to fix without calling a locksmith. Try using something like a credit card or old library card to push the latch bolt back into the lock, or try reaching through the letterbox, if it is big enough, to open the door from the other side – however this can be tricky.

If you are unable to open the door yourself, most of the time a locksmith will be able to get it open without having to damage the lock.

The key doesn't turn

If the key is simply not turning, there are several possible reasons why:

• It's the wrong key
• If it's a Yale style lock, the button on the inside may be in the wrong position
• If it's a uPVC door, there might be a key inside the lock on the other side of the door.
• The lock may have been broken due to misuse, bad luck or steady wear and tear
• The lock needs lubrication
• The door is binding, thus preventing the key from turning

Our locksmith will be able to solve any of these lock problems.

Missing, Stolen or Unavailable Keys

Call our locksmith with information on how the door was last locked (ie a deadbolt). The locksmith will be able to open to door, but may have to pick or drill the locks - if they are drilled open they will likely need to be replaced.

uPVC Doors Locks

As uPVC doors just have one lock, when they break there is no way to secure it and thus can be very disruptive. Common lock problems from uPVC doors include:

• The handle is working correctly on one side, but just spins on the other side.
• The handle spins on both sides of the door.
• Several bolts do not work correctly when you try to lock the door.

Whatever lock or security problem you are faced with, Morgan Security have the experience to deal with it quickly and effectively. Call us on 01344 86865 for a locksmith in Ascot, Wokingham, Bracknell or Reading, Berkshire areas.

What you should know before choosing a locksmith

• Compare the total cost, not just the call-out charge because the call-out charge is only a part of the total cost. Locksmiths with a low or no call-out charge could be expensive overall.
• Check whether prices are including or excluding VAT when discussing costs.
• Most companies will charge a cancellation fee if you cancel when the locksmith has already left, so be sure that you definitely need one.
• Try to establish the lock problems that need to be resolved before you calling us. The more knowledge we have, the easier it will be for the locksmith to give you a realistic quotation.
• Many National organisations will promise a locksmith within a given time frame and then try to find some-one for the job. If they are unsuccessful, you won't get a cancellation call, you will simply be left waiting.
• If the locksmith hasn't arrived at the booked in time, phone right away: a responsible locksmith will respect your time.
• You do not have to tip a locksmith.
