Frequently asked questions
How soon can someone get to me?
It depends on where you are, traffic and how many calls are already booked. When you call, we give you an honest arrival window rather than a promise we cannot keep.
Do you charge more at night or on holidays?
After-hours work may be priced differently from daytime work. Whatever the time, you get the quote on the phone before the technician sets off.
My home was broken into. Who should I call first?
Call the police first and wait until they say the scene can be touched. After that we can secure the door, repair or replace damaged locks and rekey if keys were taken.
Can you open a safe or file cabinet in an emergency?
Yes, many safes and cabinets can be opened. Proof that the contents belong to you will be required.
