Hi all, I appear to be locked inside my own house! Handle is stuck on my UPVC front door! Does anyone know any reasonably priced locksmiths? Thanks in advance

I've used Curley Locks. 02920 814 184. Very efficient. Not cheap.
theres a member on here who is a locksmith i used him before... may have been called citylee...
Did you get it sorted? If it's a uPVC door you can quite easily crack the lock barrel. I got a pal who rents out properties and when tenants do runners he has to get in. A bolster chisel and a lump hammer do the job. New barrel less than £20 and no £150 call out fee.
If you want to know more, PM me.
Thanks for all the replies, ended up using a recommendation from a friend, a guy called Tony, top bloke and he sorted the problem pretty quickly. I'm now free to leave my house, turned out that part of the inner handle mechanism snapped and got stuck, which is why the handle wouldn't go down. After today's result, the weekend can only get better from this point on!
