Common questions
Do you open locked-out shop doors?
We can attend when a door will not open, but we will ask for proof that you are entitled to access the premises before any entry work is carried out.
Can you change the locks after staff leave?
Yes. Swapping the euro cylinders is usually enough and is quick to do. Restricted-key cylinders stop copies being cut without authorisation.
How is shopfront lock & shootbolt repairs priced in Lothian?
Pricing is the same across Scotland: a guide range up front and a fixed written price once the job has been measured. There is no extra charge for being outside a city centre.
What should I do before the engineer arrives?
Keep people clear of broken glass, do not force a jammed door or shutter, and take photos if it is safe to do so. If you can, note any make or model shown on the door, closer or shutter motor.
