Can a bailiff enter a locked garage, or lockup?


No

Even if the garage is in a block (garage en-bloc) and it is locked, the bailiff may not break open the lockup garage, because it forms part of the domestic dwellinghouse.

There are some exceptions.[1]

If the garage is commercial premises, the bailiff may enter using reasonable force.[2][3]
