What's Included
When Should You Repair or Replace a Lock?
A stiff or sticky lock can often be repaired or re-lubricated rather than replaced, and we will always recommend the most cost-effective fix first. After a break-in or attempted break-in, replacement is the safer choice, and we will fit a British Standard or anti-snap upgrade so the same weakness cannot be exploited again. We offer a free, no-obligation assessment of any lock.
We work with all major brands including Yale, Chubb, Union, Mul-T-Lock, Era, ASEC, Abus, Avocet, Brisant Ultion and Versa, and carry Euro cylinders, BS3621 5-lever mortice locks, sashlocks, deadlocks, rim cylinders, cabinet locks and multipoint gearboxes on the van.
Lock Repairs & Replacements FAQ
Honest answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, just call us.
- Most lock replacements take 20 to 45 minutes depending on the lock type. We carry a wide range of locks, so the work is usually completed in a single visit.
- Yes, we carry a comprehensive range of quality locks from leading brands. We can also source specific locks if you have a preference, though there may be a short lead time.
- We work with all major UK and European lock brands including Yale, Chubb, Union, Mul-T-Lock, Era, ASEC, Abus, Avocet, Brisant Ultion and Versa. Whatever brand is currently on your door, we can either service it or swap it for a like-for-like or upgraded replacement.
- Yes, we stock kitemarked five-lever British Standard BS3621 mortice locks which satisfy the requirements of every major UK home insurer. We can swap a non-standard mortice lock for a BS3621-compliant version in around 30 minutes.
- Often yes. A spinning key usually means a worn cam or a failing internal mechanism. We will assess whether a repair or re-lubrication will restore it, and only recommend a replacement if the lock is genuinely beyond economical repair.
- In many cases we can supply a replacement cylinder keyed to match an existing key, or key several new locks alike so one key opens them all. Bring this up when you call and we will advise on the best option for your doors.
- After a break-in or attempted break-in we strongly recommend replacement rather than repair, because the lock has already been targeted and weakened. We will fit a British Standard or anti-snap upgrade so the same weakness cannot be exploited again.
- Yes. We work on every common door type, including timber doors with mortice and rim locks, composite doors, and uPVC doors with Euro cylinders and multi-point mechanisms.
- No. We offer a free, no-obligation assessment and a clear price before any work begins, with no call-out charge. You only pay once you are happy to go ahead.
- Yes, where the lock is in good working order we can often rekey it so old keys no longer work. This is a cost-effective option after losing keys or when a tenant or contractor moves on.
- Yes. We fit quality locks from trusted brands and stand behind our workmanship. If anything is not right with a lock we have supplied and fitted, contact us and we will put it right.
