Your door and lock matter.
Opening methods depend on the lock, door condition and permissions. We cannot promise damage-free entry before assessing the situation.
What to expect.
Expect questions about the door, an authority-to-enter check and an explanation of the intended work. Ask about the consequences before agreeing to any destructive method.
Avoid improvised tools or instructions that could damage the door or compromise security.
What influences the cost?
Lock security, engaged locking points, existing damage and replacement components affect the quote.

Can every door be opened without damage?
No. Some faults or lock types require a different approach. The options and possible damage should be explained before work.
Will I be able to lock it afterwards?
Discuss how the door will be made secure and whether parts are needed before authorising the job.
