Common questions

Useful to know before you call.

Can you replace the glass immediately?

Some replacement glass must be measured and ordered. Boarding can make the opening safe while the correct unit is prepared.

What should I do before you arrive?

Keep people and pets away from loose glass. Do not handle unstable fragments unless there is an immediate safety need.

Can you repair the lock at the same time?

Yes, the door, frame, lock and hardware can be assessed together so the whole opening is secure rather than only the visible damage.
