Answers to common questions about our Emergency Lockout & Locksmith
Why Choose Fortify Locksmiths?
Choosing someone to handle your home security is a big decision. We’ve built our business on being honest, skilled, and local. We hold the NCFE Level 4 qualification, which is the highest standard in the industry, and we are fully DBS checked for your peace of mind. We aren't a big national franchise; we are independent locals who care about our reputation. With over 150 five-star reviews and £5 million in public liability insurance, you can trust that your property is in safe hands.

How quickly can you get to me in Newcastle or Gateshead?
Since we are based locally, we can usually get to most jobs in Newcastle, Gateshead, and the surrounding areas within 30 to 60 minutes. If it’s an emergency, we always make you a priority. When you call, we’ll give you an honest arrival time so you aren't left waiting.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No, we don't believe in charging people just for turning up. You only pay for the work we do and the parts we use. We give you a clear, fixed price before we start any job so there are no nasty surprises when it comes time to pay.
What are anti-snap locks and do I need them?
Lock snapping is a very common method burglars use to get past standard cylinders on uPVC and composite doors. Anti-snap locks are designed with a "sacrificial" section that breaks off if someone tries to force it, leaving the internal mechanism safe and the door locked. We highly recommend these for all external doors to provide the best protection for your home.
My uPVC door handle is floppy or hard to lift, can it be fixed?
Yes, this is a very common issue. It usually means the internal mechanism or the gearbox is starting to fail, or the door has moved out of alignment. We can usually repair or replace the specific part that’s broken without you needing to buy a whole new door. It’s best to get this looked at early before the door gets completely stuck in the locked position.
What areas of the North East do you cover?
We cover a wide area within about 15 miles of Newcastle. This includes Gateshead, Blaydon, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Cramlington, Durham, North and South Shields, Ponteland, Prudhoe, Sunderland, Wallsend, Washington, Whitley Bay, and everywhere in between. If you’re not sure if we cover your area, just give us a quick ring.
How do I know I can trust a local locksmith?
It’s always best to check for qualifications and reviews. We hold an NCFE Level 4 qualification and are fully DBS checked. We encourage all our customers to check our 150+ five-star reviews from local people who have used our services. We are also fully insured, which gives you an extra layer of protection while we work on your property.
