The real causes behind locksmith jobs in St James
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.
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.
