Lock Repairs & Replacements

Sometimes. A sticking lock may need an adjustment, while worn or damaged internal parts can make replacement the more sensible option. We’ll check the lock and how the door closes before recommending the work. If keys are missing, a repair alone will not stop someone using an old key.

It is a sensible way to take control of who has access. You may receive the main set of keys without knowing how many spare copies still exist. We can assess the external door locks and discuss suitable replacements. For rented or managed properties, arrange authorisation and access with the landlord or agent before booking.

Usually not. Depending on the door and lock, we may be able to replace the cylinder or another compatible component while keeping the door and handles. We still need to check their condition. If the door catches or is hard to close, a door alignment or locking-mechanism repair may also be needed.

An anti-snap cylinder is designed to resist a common attack on euro-cylinder locks, which are often fitted to uPVC and composite doors. If you are replacing one, it is worth discussing a tested security upgrade. Police guidance recommends a 3-star TS007 euro cylinder. The right size, fitting and suitability for your door matter too; no lock makes a property burglar-proof.

Show us the exact wording from your insurer when you enquire. Requirements can differ between policies and door types, so “insurance approved” is not a useful promise on its own. We can discuss suitable locks against the information you provide. Check any uncertainty with your insurer before choosing the replacement.

The type of lock, the replacement you choose, the number of doors and any extra repair work affect the price. There is no call-out charge. Before booking, confirm what is included and the total for labour, parts and VAT. We accept cash, card and bank transfer, with payment on completion unless other terms were agreed beforehand.

Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords and businesses. Tell us which doors need attention, who can authorise the work and how we can access the premises. If the job involves controlling access for several staff members or doors, mention that when you call so we can discuss the wider requirements.

We provide a minimum 12-month guarantee on parts we supply and our labour, in addition to your statutory rights. If there is a problem after a visit, contact us with the job details so we can look into it. You can also read our terms and conditions before booking.
