Office entrance or work room locked?
Get help with a locked main entrance, private office, meeting room or equipment room in Dubai. Tell us which door is affected and have an authorised manager available to confirm the request.
Send your Dubai location, the affected door and what has happened. We will confirm current availability, an estimated arrival time and the quote before work begins.
Which part of the office is inaccessible?
Main office entrance
Send the building, floor and unit number. Tell us whether staff are waiting outside and whether building security can provide access to the floor.
Private office or meeting room
Explain which room is locked, whether a working key is available and who can authorise entry. The main premises may be open while one room remains inaccessible.
Server or equipment room
Identify the room and the authorised facilities or IT contact. Make any building or company access requirements clear before arranging the visit.
Glass or access-controlled door
Tell us whether the problem is the lock, handle, reader or credential. See glass-door help or access-card lockout help.
Lock fault or access-card problem?
A key that will not turn, a loose handle or a door that has been sticking may indicate a mechanical fault. If a card reader behaves differently or several staff cards stop working, involve the access-system administrator or building management as well.
Describe what you observe. A turning key does not identify the fault by itself. If a key has broken in the cylinder, stop using it and send a photo. For a loose or spinning handle, see door handle lockout help.
What does door opening cost?
The quote depends on the door and lock, the fault, your location and any parts needed. Send a photo of the lock and handle if it is safe to do so. You do not need to know the lock model.
Ask what the opening quote includes. If the inspection shows that repair or replacement is needed, agree the additional work and price before it starts. A lockout does not automatically mean you need a new lock.
We use non-destructive entry where possible. A damaged lock or failed mechanism may need replacement. The technician will explain the options before you authorise the work.
Authorisation and building access
Arrange an owner, director or authorised manager who can confirm access and approve the work. Ask the team which evidence is needed for your premises, especially if documents are inside or the owner is abroad.
Access to a tower, floor, lift or shared entrance may be controlled by building management. Confirm those arrangements separately from opening your office unit or internal room.
What happens on site?
- The technician confirms authorisation and assesses the affected door and hardware.
- You agree the proposed approach, opening quote and any necessary replacement work.
- After access is restored, ask what caused the fault and whether further work is needed to keep the door usable and secure.
Questions before you arrange a visit
Can you attend before the working day starts?
Contact our 24/7 emergency service and confirm the current arrival estimate for your office. Mention the opening time when explaining the request.
Can an employee arrange the visit if the owner is abroad?
Contact us to explain the situation. An owner or authorised manager must be available to confirm access and approve the work. Ask what documentation is needed before the visit.
Will opening damage the office door?
The technician assesses whether non-destructive opening is appropriate. Some damaged locks need replacement, so the approach and any additional work are explained first.
What if only one internal room is locked?
Tell us the room type, door material and lock problem. Authorisation is still needed even if the rest of the office is open.
What if we are locked out of a shop or warehouse?
See commercial door opening for other business doors, or business lockout arrangements to prepare the authorised contact and access details.
Reduce repeat office lockouts
Keep track of key and card holders, retrieve access items when staff leave, and ask for an assessment when a lock starts sticking. Arrange more than one authorised contact for out-of-hours problems.
