Lock Repair
A lock that sticks, jams or won't turn is a security risk waiting to happen. Our locksmiths find the fault and repair it where possible, replacing only the parts that need it.
Lock faults we fix
- The key is stiff or won't turn
- The key turns but the bolt doesn't move
- A snapped key is stuck in the lock
- The lock only works when the door is pushed or lifted
- Handles are loose or springs have broken
How we solve it
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.
How your locksmith helps
- Step 1
Diagnose
The lock, door and frame are checked to find the real cause.
- Step 2
Repair or advise
It's repaired where practical, or you're given replacement options and prices.
- Step 3
Test
The lock is tested with the door open and closed.
