A lock that sticks, needs jiggling or only works “if you lift the door a bit” is a lock that’s about to fail — often at the worst possible time. We repair whatever can be repaired and only recommend replacement when it is genuinely the better option.
Locks we repair and fit
- Euro cylinders — standard and anti-snap (TS007 3★ / SS312 Diamond)
- Mortice deadlocks & sashlocks — including BS3621 5-lever locks for insurance
- Night latches — standard and British Standard deadlocking latches
- Window & patio locks
- Padlocks, shed, gate and outbuilding locks
Does my lock meet insurance standards?
Most UK home insurers expect final exit doors on timber doors to have a BS3621 5-lever mortice lock — look for the Kitemark and “BS3621” on the faceplate. uPVC and composite doors should have an anti-snap cylinder. If you’re not sure, Mark can check during any visit at no extra cost.
