Why locksmith problems happen in Semilong
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.
Swollen timber doors
Wooden doors swell in damp weather, putting strain on mortice locks and latches until the bolt won't throw.
