What we fix.
If yours is not on the list, book anyway and say what has happened. The engineer who takes the job sees your answers first.
Locked out
The door opened without damage wherever the lock allows it.
Key snapped in the lock
The broken piece removed and the lock checked, so you are not left with one that fails again.
A door that will not lock
Cylinders, mortice locks and uPVC door mechanisms repaired or replaced.
Lock changes
Anti-snap and British Standard locks supplied and fitted, on a booked slot if it can wait.
While you wait.
- Have something with your name and this address on it ready
- Don't force the key
What happens first
The engineer will check you live here, then try to open the lock without damage.
If it needs more
You get a fixed quote on your phone, built from our price list. Nothing starts until you approve it. Say no and you only pay the visit fee.
How Mains works.
The same on every job. See the five steps.
The price is on the screen first
You see what the visit costs before you give us any details, and your card is only charged when the engineer arrives.
You know who is coming
Name, photo and van registration before they arrive, and a four-digit code at the door that matches the one on your phone.
Checked before they join
We check every engineer’s public liability insurance, and the Gas Safe register before anyone is offered gas work.
Guaranteed for 12 months
If the same fault comes back, tap “The problem has come back” on your receipt and the return visit is free.
People ask.
Will you damage my door getting in?
The engineer tries to open the lock without damage first. If the lock has to be replaced you see a fixed quote for the new one on your phone before it is fitted.
How do you know it is my home?
Your engineer asks for something with your name and this address on it before opening the door. Have a letter, a bill or ID ready if you can.
How do I know the locksmith is who they say?
You see their name, photo and van registration before they arrive, and at the door they show a four-digit code that matches the one on your phone.
I have just moved in. Can I get the locks changed?
Yes. Choose “I want a lock changed” and book a slot on a later day, which is the cheapest price.
Midlands first, then city by city.
Mains opens in the Midlands first, then one city at a time, so there is always an engineer close enough to reach you quickly. Put your postcode in and we tell you straight away, or text you the day we reach you.
