What to know

Before you call

Confirm you are locked out of your own property and have ID. Ask for a price band before they travel — panic fees are common when you do not.

What a fair call-out includes

Travel, labour to open the door, and whether a new cylinder is quoted separately. MLA membership is one competence signal — still ask for ID and a clear price.

After entry

Ask about British Standard cylinders if they replace the lock — same-day stock is often available for common sizes.
