Professional Emergency Lockout Services
Here’s the thing about getting locked out: it never happens at a convenient time. We know, because we’ve attended 41 emergency lockouts across Islington in the past year — rim cylinders on Victorian conversions at 6am, euro cylinders on modern apartment blocks at 9pm, a union sash lock on a garden door at the weekend, even a deadlock entry on Christmas Eve. We’ve seen it all in N1.

Rim cylinders are the most common lockout lock in Islington by a wide margin — 22 of our 41 lockouts involved rim cylinder nightlatches on front entrance doors. That’s the classic flat-block configuration: a Yale-type nightlatch on a period conversion or a council block door that’s been there for decades. Euro cylinders account for another 7, multipoint systems on balcony doors for 4, and the rest are deadlocks, nightlatches, and the odd padlock. October is our busiest lockout month — 10 emergency calls in a single month, nearly all after the clocks went back.
We’re not some national call centre farming your job out to whoever’s vaguely nearby. Our office is in N1 — right here in Islington. When you call us, you get us. Non-destructive entry is the standard, not the exception. In the vast majority of our Islington lockouts, we gain entry without a single mark on your door, frame or lock. Whether it’s a rim cylinder on a Georgian townhouse conversion or a euro cylinder on a purpose-built apartment, we use techniques that keep your property intact. If destructive entry is ever the only option — and it rarely is — we’ll talk you through it first.
Once you’re back inside, we can sort the rest on the spot. About 1 in 5 of our lockout customers choose to have a new lock fitted there and then — a fresh euro cylinder, a replacement nightlatch, whatever’s needed. One customer in N1 5 was locked out of their balcony door on a Thursday evening — we gained entry to the multipoint system, then returned three days later to replace the entire mechanism. One visit or two, your call. We carry rim cylinders, euro cylinders, Yale nightlatches, ERA nightlatches, and Banham-compatible hardware on every van.
No second call-out fee, no waiting around for another appointment. We also handle Mul-T-Lock cylinders, Ingersoll high-security locks, multipoint locking systems and anything else Islington’s housing stock throws at us. One visit, job done.

London Borough of Islington

We’re regulars around Angel tube station, along Upper Street, through Canonbury and across to Exmouth Market.
The Victorian conversions around Barnsbury with their rim cylinders and Yale nightlatches, the modern apartment blocks off Highbury Corner with euro cylinders, the council blocks across De Beauvoir with doors that haven’t been touched in decades — we’ve opened them all.
Our N1 office puts us right in the heart of Islington.
When the clocks went back in October and evening lockouts spiked — 10 emergency calls that month alone, our busiest lockout month of the year — we were there within minutes, not scrambling from the other side of London.
