How our locksmith service works

2. Gain entry or diagnose
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, or find exactly which part of the lock has failed.
3. Repair or replace
Faulty cylinders, mortice locks, nightlatches or gearboxes are replaced with quality parts and tested before we leave.

What causes the problem — common faults we see in Duston
Failed gearbox
On uPVC doors the gearbox behind the handle can break, leaving the door locked shut or unable to lock at all.
Worn cylinder pins
Years of use wear the pins inside a cylinder, so keys start to stick, turn only part-way or snap off in the lock.
Forced entry damage
Attempted break-ins often snap cheap cylinders or bend locks, which then need replacing with a stronger standard.
