Faulty cylinders, mortice locks, nightlatches or gearboxes are replaced with quality parts and tested before we leave.
One local firm for lockouts, uPVC door mechanisms and timber door locks — no need to call a separate locksmith and double glazing engineer.
Why locksmith problems happen in Houghton
Forced entry damage
Attempted break-ins often snap cheap cylinders or bend locks, which then need replacing with a stronger standard.
Failed gearbox
On uPVC doors the gearbox behind the handle can break, leaving the door locked shut or unable to lock at all.
Lost or stolen keys
When keys go missing you can't know who has them — changing the lock is the only way to be sure.
