You don’t need to know the name of the lock. Start with what happens when you turn the key or move the handle, and we’ll talk through the next step.
Locked out or facing a door that will not open? Tell us whether the key is lost, snapped or still turning in the lock. We assess the entry options and explain any need for drilling or replacement before proceeding.
Once you have the keys to a new home, it is worth checking who else may have a working set. We can discuss changing suitable locks or cylinders, the number of spare keys you need and whether compatible locks can be keyed alike.
A key that catches can be a lock fault, but it can also be the door pressing against the frame. Tell us whether the problem happens with the door open as well as closed, if you can check safely. We look for the cause before proposing parts.
A handle that becomes hard to lift needs checking rather than forcing. We assess the cylinder, gearbox, mechanism and alignment, and discuss repair or replacement. Mention whether the door is open, closed or unable to lock.
For a rental property, tell us who can authorise the work, who will provide access and when the keys need handing over. We can discuss suitable lock changes and invoice details before arranging the visit.
For a shop, office or managed entrance, explain how the door is used and who needs access. Our commercial work includes lock fitting and repairs, master key systems and suitable access control arrangements.

Before moving day
When you take possession of a property, changing suitable locks or cylinders can give you control of the working keys. You may be able to keep the existing handles and other fittings; we check what is suitable for each door.
For a rental, confirm the arrangements with the landlord or managing agent before booking alterations. Tell us when access becomes available, especially if you have not collected the keys yet.
Arrange a planned visitWe offer British Standard locks where appropriate and other suitable options agreed with you. Share any specific requirements before choosing a replacement. Read about lock fitting options.
