Specialising in All Lock Types

Our experienced locksmiths work with all different types of locks commonly used across the UK, guaranteeing a solution for your specific security hardware.

Cylinder Locks (Euro & Oval)

These are widely used in uPVC, composite, and aluminium doors. They are essential for multi-point locking systems. We provide expert repair for common faults such as sticky cylinders, key extraction, and failure of the gear mechanism inside the lock body.

Mortice Locks (Deadlocks & Sashlocks)

Often found on traditional wooden doors, we repair both lever-operated mortice deadlocks and sashlocks. We ensure these locks meet the highest security standards, repairing and replacing mechanisms to comply with British Standard BS3621, where required.

Multi-Point Locking Systems

Crucial for uPVC door repairs, these complex systems run vertically along the length of the door edge. We specialise in repairing or replacing gearboxes, hook bolts, and roller cams that have failed due to heavy use or misalignment.

Rim Cylinders and Night Latches

Commonly known as “Yale” type locks, we handle repairs for cylinders and the main latch body, fixing issues like sticking latches and faulty snibs.

Advanced Security: Protecting Your Home with Anti-Snap Locks

The rise in lock snapping burglary techniques, particularly targeting Euro cylinder locks on uPVC doors, makes security upgrades essential. We are experts in fitting and upgrading locks to resist this criminal method.

The Anti-Snap Lock Solution

If your current cylinder is not protected, a skilled burglar can snap it in seconds. We strongly recommend upgrading to anti-snap locks. These high-security cylinders are specifically designed with sacrificial cuts that break away when attacked, leaving the core mechanism intact and preventing the burglar from gaining entry.

We supply and install cylinders that are compliant with the highest industry standards, such as TS007 (3 Star) and Sold Secure Diamond accreditation, providing maximum resistance and giving you complete peace of mind.
