Call us and explain what has happened, including whether your keys are lost, locked inside or the lock has failed. We'll discuss the situation and arrange appropriate assistance.

Can you unlock a door without damaging it?

Are emergency lockouts available at night?

Yes. Our emergency locksmith service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across our service areas.

Why won't my uPVC door lock?

There are several possible causes, including a faulty gearbox, damaged locking mechanism, worn components or door alignment problems. We inspect the door to identify the cause.

Can a uPVC door lock be repaired instead of replaced?

Often, yes. If a particular component has failed and a suitable replacement is available, it may be possible to repair the existing locking system rather than replace the complete mechanism.

Why is my uPVC door difficult to close?

Difficulty closing can be caused by alignment problems, worn components or issues with the locking mechanism. An inspection can help identify the cause.

Can you replace a uPVC gearbox?

Yes, where a suitable replacement gearbox is available for the locking mechanism. We'll assess the existing mechanism before recommending the appropriate repair.

Can you remove a broken key without replacing the lock?

Often, yes. If the broken key can be extracted and the lock itself remains in good working order, there may be no need to replace it.

What should I do if my key snaps inside the lock?

Avoid forcing another key into the lock or using objects that could push the broken section further inside. Contact a locksmith so the lock can be assessed and the key removed appropriately.

Can you remove a broken key from a uPVC door?

Yes. Broken keys can occur in uPVC door cylinders, and we can assess the cylinder and attempt suitable extraction.

Will the lock need replacing after a broken key?

Not necessarily. If the lock is undamaged and continues to operate correctly after extraction, it may not need replacing.

Can you repair a lock after a burglary?

Yes. We can assess damaged locks and locking mechanisms and determine whether they can be repaired or need to be replaced.

Can you replace a damaged door lock after a break-in?

Yes. If the existing lock has been damaged or compromised, we can discuss and fit a suitable replacement.

Should I change my locks after a burglary?

It may be advisable, particularly if the lock has been damaged or compromised during the break-in. We can inspect the existing lock and explain the available options.

Can you install a key safe for a rental property or Airbnb?
