Lost Keys FAQ
What should I do if I’ve lost my keys outside my home?
Check your pockets, bag and the places you’ve recently been, and ask anyone who has a spare key. If you still can’t get in, call us — we’ll aim to open the door without damage and can change the lock on the same visit if your keys may have been stolen.
Will you need to change my locks?
Not always. If your keys are simply lost and there’s no address on them, you may choose to keep the lock. If they were stolen or could be linked to your address, we recommend changing the lock for security.

In most of East London we arrive within around 30 minutes, and often faster in the evenings. When you call we’ll give you a realistic arrival time based on where you are and current traffic.
