Lock Repair

A faulty lock can quickly turn into a lockout or a serious security risk. If your key is stiff, the handle won’t lift, the lock won’t turn, or the door won’t latch properly, our locksmiths can diagnose the issue and carry out a reliable repair.

We repair locks on wooden, uPVC, composite, and metal doors, including multipoint mechanisms, euro cylinders, night latches, and mortice locks. Where repair isn’t cost-effective, we’ll offer a like-for-like replacement or an upgrade — with clear pricing before any work begins.

Common lock problems we repair:

• 🛠️ Stiff key turning / lock sticking or jamming
• 🚪 Door won’t lock or unlock / key turns but nothing happens
• 🔩 Loose handles, worn spindles, or misaligned mechanisms
• ⚙️ Failed uPVC multipoint gearboxes and internal lock parts
• 🔑 Broken key damage inside the cylinder or lock body

Here’s how our lock repair process works:

1. 🔍 Diagnosis: We inspect the lock, handle, door alignment, and internal components to find the root cause (wear, misalignment, mechanism failure, or cylinder issues).
2. 🧰 Non-Destructive Approach: Where possible, we repair and adjust components rather than forcing entry or replacing parts unnecessarily.
3. 🛠️ Repair & Adjustment: We realign doors, adjust keeps/strikes, tighten fittings, and repair or replace worn internal components to restore smooth operation.
4. 🔐 Replace Only What’s Needed: If a part has failed (e.g. gearbox or cylinder), we replace just that component — with upgrade options available.
5. ✅ Testing & Advice: We test the lock repeatedly, confirm secure locking, and give tips on maintenance to help prevent repeat issues.
