FAQs
I'm locked out - what should I do?
Don’t panic! First, check if any windows or back doors are unlocked, but never attempt anything unsafe. Have you left spare keys with anyone? If you’re truly locked out, call us and we will be with you in no time. You can wait with a neighbour so you’re not out in the cold and we will ring before we arrive.
Can you get my door open without damage?
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. Cranbrook’s modern properties generally feature contemporary lock systems that respond well to professional entry techniques, allowing us to gain access without drilling or damaging mechanisms.
My uPVC door won't lock properly - the handle won't lift or the key won't turn
This is a common problem with uPVC doors, often caused by door alignment issues or mechanism wear. Try gently pushing the door closed while lifting the handle. If this doesn’t work, don’t force it as you could cause more damage. We carry most uPVC parts and can usually fix this on the first visit.
Are you familiar with the lock types commonly used in Cranbrook's new properties?
Absolutely. We understand the modern security systems typically installed by major developers. This includes contemporary uPVC systems, smart lock technology, and the latest security standards required in new builds. In Cranbrook and the surrounding developments in Broadclyst, Rockbeare and Whimple, we regularly deal with multipoint locking systems in modern composite doors and uPVC doors and windows — including alignment issues, gearbox failures and handle replacements that are common in newer build properties.
I've moved into a new property in Cranbrook - should I change all the locks?
Yes, we recommend that you change the locks whenever you move into a new property anywhere. You never know how many copies of keys are in circulation from previous owners, tenants, contractors, or family members.
Are you available for same-day service in Cranbrook?
Yes. We often provide same-day service for planned work throughout Cranbrook and surrounding areas, including Broadcysy, Clyst Honiton, Rockbeare, Whimple, Aylesbeare and many other local towns and villages, subject to scheduling. Emergency work is available 7 days a week throughout Cranbrook, from Younghayes Road through to the outskirts and into the surrounding areas.
Can you provide a quote over the phone?
We can provide estimates over the phone, but we will sometimes ask you to send us a photo in order to give you a more accurate price. For uPVC doors, we will often give a guide price range because this type of system varies widely in both type and in things that could be wrong with it. We will always give a firm quote before starting any work.
What guarantee do you provide on work in Cranbrook?
We give a full 12-month guarantee on all new parts fitted.
We also work in several other local areas:
In addition to Cranbrook, we also offer a full locksmith service in Sidmouth, Exmouth, Exeter, Topsham and the surrounding villages and across East Devon. Please see our ‘Where we Work’ page for more information.
