Common questions
How quickly can a locksmith get to me in Andover?
Most Andover jobs we reach in under 60 minutes from our Waterside base. SP10 and SP11 are regular runs for us, so no waiting list and no sub-contracting to someone you’ve never spoken to. Bugsy answers the phone himself, day or night. If you’re locked out, ring and we’ll tell you straight how long we’ll be. No drama, no call centre, and no call-out fee tacked on when we arrive.
How much does it cost to get locked out in Andover?
We quote you up front before any work starts, so there are no nasty surprises at the end. No call-out fee, no VAT shocks. For most lockouts the first move is to pick the door open without breaking it, which saves your cylinder and a fair bit of money. If you want a rough idea before we set off, just ask on the phone and we’ll tell you straight.
What locks do I need for home insurance in Andover?
Most UK home insurers want British Standard 3621 mortice deadlocks on wooden doors and 3-star anti-snap cylinders on UPVc. We fit both and they meet the usual requirements. If you’re not sure what your policy says, ring and we’ll talk it through in plain English. Bugsy also does a free home security check, walking round with you and pointing out the weak spots before anything gets fitted.
Can you repair a UPVc door that won’t lock in Andover?
Yes. UPVc doors that stick, drop, or won’t lock are usually a failed multipoint gearbox, worn hinges, or alignment that’s drifted. We carry every common UK gearbox on the van, so most repairs are sorted in one visit. Plenty of newer Augusta Park and Picket Twenty homes have these doors, so we see them often. Ring us and we’ll get it working again, no need to replace the whole door.
