Why holidays bring more lock problems
- More guests means more keys handed around and more doors left unlocked
- Travel means bags, keys and car fobs are packed and unpacked in a rush
- Late nights and tiredness lead to keys left inside
- Empty homes during trips can attract burglars
What to expect from a holiday call
The process is the same as any other day: describe the problem, get an arrival estimate and a price, confirm your identity, and have the lock opened, repaired or rekeyed. Ask about any holiday pricing when you call, so there are no surprises.
Prevent problems before you travel
- Check that every exterior lock works smoothly and the deadbolts throw fully
- Leave a spare key with a trusted neighbor, not under the mat
- Use timers on lights so the house looks occupied
- Photograph your car key and fob details in case they're lost
