Faulty cylinders, mortice locks, nightlatches or gearboxes are replaced with quality parts and tested before we leave.

Why it breaks: what our engineers find in Kingsthorpe
Swollen timber doors
Wooden doors swell in damp weather, putting strain on mortice locks and latches until the bolt won't throw.
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.
Keys left inside
Doors that lock on the latch or a key left in the inside of the lock are the most common reason people get locked out.
