After a break-in

Police first. Get a report number, because the insurer will ask for it, and photograph the damage before anything is touched.

Then the door. A locksmith can replace a cracked cylinder, fit a strike plate with long screws that bite into the stud, re-hang a latch, and rekey any lock whose key was taken. Ask for an itemised receipt for the claim.

Emergency questions

How soon can someone get here?

That depends on where you are and who is free. The dispatcher gives an honest estimate on the call; this site does not promise arrival times.

Does a late call cost more?

Ask on the phone. The price is given before the job is booked, so it is never a surprise.

Can a broken key be pulled out?

Usually, with extraction tools, and the lock often works fine afterwards. A new key can be cut.

Keys locked in a running car?

Ring the number right away and mention the engine is on. Stay near the car if it is safe to.

Ask for a callback

Send your name, number and the problem. A dispatcher rings back, checks the address and the job, and quotes it before anything is booked.
