If we have made a mistake, then we’ll do everything that we can to put things right. That may include sending a replacement order and collecting the original order. To do that, we will need to create an invoice on your account.
If you have a credit facility with us and your statement is produced before your credit has been raised, then this replacement invoice will appear on your statement. You should only pay for the replacement invoice as the other will be cleared by the credit note, once processed. We will only ask you to pay the original invoice if you do not return the goods to us within a reasonable time.
If you do not have a credit facility and you pay for your orders by credit or debit card, you may see an invoice on your account called “Cash replacement”. We will not ask you to pay for this order at the time of processing and, if you see it on your statement, you should not be alarmed. We will only ask you to pay this invoice if you do not return the original order to us within a reasonable time. Otherwise, this invoice does not need to be paid.
Our delivery charges are set out in the delivery charges section of the website. We also offer a free add on service that means that you never pay for delivery twice in the same day.
Once you place an order for next day delivery, any subsequent orders that are dispatched on the same day, to the same address and using the same delivery method will not have a delivery charge.
Please note that premium deliveries are excluded from the add on service and each order will attract a delivery charge.
Where multiple orders have been placed during the day, the initial delivery charge (if the order did not already qualify for free delivery) will not be refunded if the total of all orders exceeds our free delivery threshold.
We aim to process returns within 7-10 working days. Once your credit note has been processed, you will be emailed a copy and your refund will be applied to your account. Please contact our accounts team with your card details to refund the credit amount.
All of our locksmith orders are made specifically to each customer’s requirements. Once the work has been carried out to the products, the keys have been cut, pins have been changed and other work has been carried out, we cannot undo the work.
That means we cannot accept any returns on any products to which locksmith work has been carried out. These products are outside of our normal returns policy and manufacturer guarantee.
We do also understand that sometimes things can go wrong and that we can make mistakes. If that happens then we’ll do everything that we can to make things right but we first need to assess the products. Therefore, if you have a keyed alike, masterkey system or cut keys that do not operate as you expect, please contact us as soon as possible.
We can then:
- Arrange to collect the product (or, if you’d prefer, you can send them back to us)
- Once received, conduct an assessment of the products by our locksmiths
- If the fault was caused by the manufacturing process then we will repair the product and return it to you.
- If the fault was caused by usage then we’ll contact you to discuss if we can repair the product. There may be a cost for doing so.
If you urgently need replacement products, before we have assessed the faulty ones, then we can prepare a replacement order. We’ll do this as quickly as we can (we’ll advise a delivery at the time). We will still arrange to collect the faulty products and our locksmith team will assess them. If the reason for the fault is a result of use, rather than manufacture, then we will not be able to issue a credit. The product will be returned to you at your expense. For this reason, we will ask that any customers who do not have a credit facility pay for such a replacement order before it is dispatched.
Once an order for these items has been placed it cannot be amended and we cannot accept any returns.
Masterkey, keyed alike, additional keys or any other products where we have carried out work, special orders and items sent directly from manufacturers cannot be returned unless they are faulty. Any fault items will need to be inspected by our locksmith team or the manufacturer.
Certain products such as access control products may only be repaired by the manufacturer and not replaced. Please enquire at the time of ordering if you need further information in this regard.
Other products, including Uncian, Codelock and Borg cannot be returned for any reason if the security seal on the box has been broken. Please check that these products are correct before opening any packaging.
On some rare occasions, we may send your order out with an alternative courier. It is usually due to an operational issue with your chosen courier. We only do this if we have to and to ensure your order is still dispatched that same day for next day delivery.
We do not supply packaging for returns. We would recommend using the original external packaging and ensuring its well-sealed for transit in the network.
