About this service

A sticking key, a slipping cylinder or a misaligned mechanism rarely means you need a brand-new lock. Our engineers diagnose the actual fault — worn pins, dried lubricant, a failed cam, a dropped door — and repair it on the spot wherever possible. We carry spare springs, pins, cams and follower kits for every major UK lock brand so 8 out of 10 repairs are completed in under 45 minutes without parts on order. Lock repair is almost always 40–60% cheaper than a like-for-like replacement, and we'll tell you honestly when a repair isn't the right call.

What's included

  • Diagnosis on arrival — fixed price quoted before any work
  • Repair-first policy: replace only when genuinely needed
  • Spare parts on the van for Yale, ERA, ABS, Avocet, Mul-T-Lock and more
  • Sticky, stiff, spinning and misaligned locks all covered
  • 12-month guarantee on parts and labour
