New lock and door handle on UPVC front door.
They did a good job and made suggestions for improvements to the door. We called them back for another time to rehang front and back doors.

Emergency call-outs to Olton arrive within twenty-five minutes from the Solihull base, five minutes up the Warwick Road. The B92 housing skews older than the town centre, with a high concentration of Edwardian villas and 1930s semis around St Bernards Road and Kineton Green Road, so the emergency mix often involves snapped keys in original rim locks and front doors that have stopped locking after years of settling.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Olton B92?+
Olton is five minutes from the Solihull base along the Warwick Road. Emergency call-outs in B92 typically arrive within twenty-five minutes.
I have snapped my key off in an original 1930s rim lock — what happens next?+
Snapped keys in older rim and mortice locks are a very common Olton call. The broken portion is extracted on site using extraction tools, and if the lock cylinder itself has worn to the point where re-snapping is likely, a replacement cylinder or full lock is fitted on the same visit. Original brass furniture is preserved wherever possible on the period houses.
My front door has stopped locking — is that an emergency or can it wait until morning?+
If the door will not lock at all and the property is therefore insecure, that is treated as an emergency and resolved overnight. If the door is awkward but does lock when worked at, it can usually be deferred to a same-week scheduled visit with no out-of-hours uplift. The realignment work is typical of Olton 1930s door frames that have settled over time.
What does an out-of-hours call-out in Olton cost?+
Pricing is quoted clearly before any work begins and is fixed for the job — no hourly creep. Out-of-hours work (evenings, nights, weekends) carries a modest uplift over the standard daytime rate but no separate "call-out fee" stacked on top. Most Olton emergency jobs are resolved in a single visit.
