Services
Our professional uPVC door lock repair service helps restore faulty doors without the expense of full replacement. We source secure replacement mechanisms for older systems and fit them accurately to improve reliability. During every repair, we inspect and adjust the door alignment to prevent repeated faults. We also provide advice on maintaining locks and handles to keep them operating correctly. Lock Upgrades
Report
We help homeowners strengthen their property security by replacing locks that no longer meet modern standards. Many older locks are now susceptible to newer forms of attack and may not comply with insurance policy requirements. We supply and fit approved BS3621 and SS312 locks to support continued insurance validity. If needed, we can carry out a professional assessment and offer practical guidance without obligation. Anti Snap Locks
Report
We provide professional anti snap lock upgrades designed to protect properties against the growing issue of lock snapping. Our high-quality 3 star SS312 diamond standard locks are tested against all recognised euro cylinder attacks. These locks are particularly effective for uPVC and composite doors. We also install additional security products, including reinforced door handles and sash jammers, to improve overall door protection.
Finding yourself unable to access your property can be extremely inconvenient, and we aim to respond as swiftly as possible to every lockout situation. Our extensive locksmith experience of more than 30 years allows us to carry out non-destructive lock opening with precision. We use up-to-date specialist equipment to complete the work efficiently. If keys are lost, damaged, or the lock becomes faulty, we will identify the best entry method for the circumstances. People

Steve came round the other day to open up our *chamber of secrets* (a little workshop which we didn't had the key to when we bought this house). He's a very friendly lad, had a good chat too. I hope we don't run into any issues needing a locksmith any time soon, but if we do, I won't call anyone but him.

Brilliant service. I needed a new lock and handle for a back door and stable door window and Steve was so helpful and gave great advice. He popped round the same day, Steve ordered multiple handles to make sure I got the finish that I wanted. Made the process very easy. I didnt realise he will also cut extra keys for your new locks at half the price Timpsons do so order from him if you want extra spares!

I had an issue with my external door, rang Steve for some advice he was so helpful and professional gave me all the information I needed. I was stressing because the door wasnt secure he came the same day to secure the door and changed the locks for me so I could use it and the came back the next day once the steel plates had been delivered to fit them to fix the door. I could not have asked for anyone better to come along that day and sort my door out! 100% would recommend Stes services I am and will be forever grateful!
