When to act
When Do You Need a Lock Changed or Repaired?
Lost keys or untrusted copies
You have lost your keys, or someone you do not trust has a copy.
Break-in or damage
There has been a break-in or an attempt, and the lock or door is damaged.
Moved house
You have moved house and do not know who holds keys.
Stiff or jammed lock
Your lock is stiff, jammed or loose, or the key sticks or will not turn.
uPVC door problems
Your uPVC door will not lock or lift properly, which is often a worn mechanism.
Door or frame damage
The door or frame is damaged and needs carpentry before the lock will work.
If a lock only needs adjusting or repairing, we tell you so, instead of replacing it.
If the door or frame needs work first, see our carpentry and door repair service.
