Just after midnight on Friday, I received a call from a customer who was locked out because the key wouldn't turn in the mortise lock. 😱
Being locked out of your own home is stressful enough, but standing on your doorstep in the middle of the night makes it even worse. 💯
Thankfully, I was able to get him safely back inside and recommended replacing the lock, not only because it had failed but because it also didn't meet current fire regulations. 🚫🔥
He called me back this week, and I returned to replace everything properly. ✅
It did get me thinking though... emergencies don't just happen between 9 and 5.
Whether it's midnight, early morning or a bank holiday, if someone is locked out or unable to secure their home, I can't just leave them waiting until the next day. That's why I'm available 24 hours a day. 🤗
So here's one favour I'd ask... save my number now, before you ever need it. Hopefully you'll never have to use it, but if you do, there'll be no panic searching online while you're standing outside your front door.
Sometimes I joke that locksmiths are the fourth emergency service... but when you're locked out in the middle of the night, it really can feel that way. 🫶
