Our Locked Out Process​

Over the years, we have dealt with just about any kind of emergency lockout experience you can think of. From people being locked out after a night out to someone coming home from a blissful holiday to locks that have been tampered with, we have seen it all. That experience makes us the perfect choice for getting the problem fixed and ensuring your locks can be relied upon once again.

While every lock problem we face has its causes, we have a tried and tested plan of action to fix your locks. First off, we will carry out a professional review of your locks, looking for any signs of wear and tear, damage, or misalignment. If you have lost your keys, we can re-key your locks so that they are only compatible with the new keys that we will create for you, as opposed to your old keys.

Whatever process is needed to fix your locks, we will adapt and adjust accordingly. From locks that only need some maintenance to full replacements of locks and keys, we make sure you get the help you need without delay. We always have the resources required to fix the damage done and make sure your locks work as good as new once again. You have nothing to worry about when you call us.

Our process ensures rapid arrivals, swift diagnosis, and a plan of action put in place that often means we can fix the problem on the same day you call us out. We are the ideal choice because we offer:

Contact friends or family as they may have a spare key

Review your day

Sometimes, a lockout can be resolved simply by working out where you might have left your keys. Think about where you have been today; could you have left them in the gym? In a café? In a shop? At work? In a family member’s house? Consider all the places you visited and call for confirmation.

Avoid trying to make any repairs yourself as this could cause more damage

Wait for the experts

While we understand the irritation and annoyance that comes from losing your keys, please be patient, help is en route. A specialist will be with you ASAP to carry out the lock repairs/replacements you need. With local teams available in the Selby area, we can be with you in just sixty minutes.

Ask your neighbours if they have a spare key

Wait in a safe location

Find somewhere near your property in Selby where you can wait. We recommend a dry, safe spot such as your car, your shed, or your garage. You might even wish to ask a neighbour if you can wait with them; you will not be waiting long for a Lock & Key team member to arrive!

Emergency Assistance for Lock Outs

A lockout can occur for all kinds of reasons, but the reasons are secondary to putting a solution in place. When you call Lock & Key Selby, we will have someone with you as quickly as we can. Our average timeframe for arrival is just one hour, so you can get a solution put in place on the same day you call.

It does not matter whether you phone us during the midnight bells at New Year or during a Sunday morning, we have staff on-call!

Why Place Your Trust in a Local Company

Unfortunately, we’ve seen first-hand customers who have contacted a national locksmith company that promised fast callouts from locksmiths in the area; only to be left waiting for hours out in the cold! This is because most national companies use sub-contractors and as such they priorities their own workload first, which means more often than not you get pushed down the queue! More importantly, many national companies do not vet their locksmiths to the extent we do, so you can never be quite sure who is turning up!

Instead, we strongly recommend using a truly local company that is based in Selby – like us! Due to the fact we’re based in the area, we can minimise travel time and get to you in the quickest possible time, usually within 60 minutes. Additionally, we are focussed on ensuring our customer care is of the highest standard, we can’t afford to let customers down, our reputation depends on you!

How to Avoid Being Locked Out of Your Home in Selby

Of course, we never truly know when our locks are going to break or we are going to come home to a break-in attempt. If you want to avoid getting locked out in the future, though, we recommend that you consider the following:

Police approved key safes

Invest in and Install One or More Accredited Police-Approved Key Safes

A key safe is an outdoor lockbox you can use to store spare keys in so that you can get back inside during a potential lockout. Only buy models which are police-approved, though; other models are usually less durable and could be opened with brute force. Police-approved key safes require tools to such as an angle grinder to open with force!

Regularly service existing locks

Regularly Service Existing locks Around Your Home and Business

We would also highly recommend that you carry out a lock maintenance review at least once per year. This involves cleaning out your locks using a PTFE lubricant or graphite powder lubricant, depending on the type of lock you have. For further advice or assistance with lock maintenance, simply give our team of professionals a call today.

I had to have my Key Fixed, it was actually locking and starting my truck on its own. He fixed it in 5 minutes. Everyone else wanted high dollar or wanted me to buy a new Fob. No, he fixed the issue. If you lock problems or key problems, come see him. Thanks A-1.

I recently had an issue after accidentally washing my key fob, and it completely stopped working. I called A1 Locksmith yesterday and explained the situation. The technician immediately told me exactly what steps to take over the next few hours to try to save the fob which is something he absolutely didn’t have to do.

This morning, I called back and met up with him. Not only was he able to save my key, but he also saved my wallet in the process. He was incredibly kind, genuine, and easy to talk to. What really stood out was his honesty- he didn’t try to charge us hundreds of dollars when he easily could have.

A1 Locksmith has truly earned my trust. Highly recommend!

Couldn't lock or unlock the front door from the outside due to a broken cylinder. Terry came out and replaced the part but also noticed that the door is warped, causing tension on the mechanism. It is only 2 years old and covered by warranty so that is now going back to the manufacturer. Good lad Terry, thank you.

My malibu key blade broke off and needed to be fixed. I had another blade from a housing swap but no one would cut it for me... until I called A-1.

They cut my key blade and the backup that I bought and even added it to my vehicle. All for a fraction the price of a single dealer key. I will be back

Frequently asked questions

At Lock & Key Selby, we offer customers based in Selby very affordable and high-quality locksmith services. The cost of hiring our locksmiths can be different based on the problem they’re hired to resolve and the solution they come up with! But we won’t hit you with any hidden fees. Instead, you will get free quotes over the phone with absolutely no obligations. This way, you’ll know what you’re paying for even before our professional arrives at your location.

The response time offered by our expert locksmiths is 30-60 minutes for clients in an emergency situation. Our locksmiths are Selby locals so they can arrive at your location in a jiffy.

You can rest assured that our locksmiths are highly experienced, fully qualified, insured, & certified to work in Selby. After all, we are the only City & Guilds accredited locksmith company operating in the Yorkshire area.

Yes! Selby Lock & Key products come with a comprehensive, 365-day guarantee from our first visit. We also believe in high-quality workmanship and use only top-notch locks and keys. However, if anything goes wrong, call us, and we’ll return to your property to address the issue – free of charge. Your satisfaction is our number 1 priority.

We realise that waiting for a locksmith to come to your location can be a tad bit boring. You may feel like attempting DIY fixtures before the locksmith’s arrival. But we strongly advise against that! You should patiently wait for the locksmith to arrive so they can take care of this issue by themselves.

Our locksmiths usualy need only a few minutes to help you regain access to your domicile if you’re using Yale rim-cylinder locks or Euro Cylinder locks. However, more complex locking mechanisms require more time, so you may have to wait a while longer.

Changing a common door lock takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes. But this timeline can be different based on your door type (garage, uPVC, conservatory, etc.), lock type (Yale or Euro or something else), and how many locks we’re required to repair/replace. Our locksmith can give you a more accurate time estimate once they arrive at your location.

Yes, we’ll be happy to give you a quote before taking on this job. We’ll hop on a phone call in which we’ll ask you relevant questions to better understand what’s bugging you. This way, our quote will be realistic and manageable.

We don’t charge a call-out fee. You only have to pay for the actual work upon completion and when you are 100% satisfied.

Payments can be easily made in cash or via all major debit and credit cards.
