Cancellation policy
There is no call-out fee when we complete a job. The only exception: if you cancel after our technician has been dispatched from base, a £50 cancellation fee applies. This compensates for the technician's time and fuel costs, and is standard practice across UK locksmith services.
If you call and we agree it's not a job we can help with (e.g. wrong vehicle make for a car lockout), there is no charge.
How to pay
We accept:
- Card (chip and PIN, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay)
- Cash
- Bank transfer
Payment is only taken after the job is complete. We will never ask for a deposit, advance payment, or card details over the phone before attendance.
For insurance claims
If you need a written receipt for an insurance claim (especially after a break-in), we provide:
- Itemised invoice listing labour and parts
- Written incident report (for burglary repair claims)
- Photographs of damage on request
We're happy to email these directly to your insurance claims handler if it speeds up your claim.
