How we help
Many faults come from misalignment, wear or a lack of lubrication, not a broken lock. Your locksmith will diagnose the cause, adjust strike plates or keeps, extract broken keys and replace worn parts. If repair isn't worth it, they'll tell you honestly.
1. Diagnose
The lock, door and frame are checked to find the real cause.
2. Repair or advise
It's repaired where practical, or you're given replacement options and prices.
3. Test
The lock is tested with the door open and closed.
