Signs You Need This Service

If your lock's becoming stiff or difficult to turn, it might be time for a new one. We've all faced those moments when the key just won't slide in smoothly or the lock feels like it's fighting back. These are signs a replacement is due. Ignoring them can lead to bigger issues. It's a good idea to stay proactive.

Consider these signs:

  • Visible Damage: If you notice cracks or rust, that's a clear indication the lock's past its prime.
  • Loose Parts: A lock that jiggles or feels loose may not be secure enough to keep your home safe.
  • Key Troubles: If your key's consistently getting stuck or you need to wiggle it to work, it's not just annoying—it's a warning.

What We Do When We Arrive

When we arrive, the first thing we do is greet you with a friendly smile and introduce ourselves. We want you to feel comfortable and know who's working on your lock. Next, we'll ask you to show us the door that needs our attention. It helps us understand the situation better.

Once we see the door, we'll examine it closely. We check the current lock, the door's condition, and any specific challenges it might present. We use this time to discuss your needs and any concerns you might have. It's important for us to make sure everything's clear before we start.

After our inspection, we'll outline the steps we'll take to install your lock. We aim to make the process smooth and simple. We'll also answer any questions you have, so you're fully aware of what's going on. Our goal is to ensure you're informed and comfortable throughout the process.

Types of Locks and Doors We Work On

We work on a variety of locks and doors, adapting to the different needs of each home. Our experience covers everything from traditional wooden doors to modern UPVC ones.

We handle mortice deadlocks, often found in older homes, as well as advanced smart locks that add convenience to your life. For those with UPVC doors, we're familiar with multipoint gearboxes, which offer added security.

Our service isn't limited to just one type of door or lock. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace, a converted flat, or a new-build, we're prepared for any situation.

We comprehend that each door type has its own challenges and quirks. For instance, period properties might've unique fittings requiring special care, while new builds may have the latest locking systems.

One of the best things about euro cylinder locks is the security options they offer. Some models have anti-snap, anti-drill, and anti-pick features, which help protect our homes from intruders.

We often recommend brands like Ultion Smart and Yale Superior for their reliability and strong security ratings.

Installation is usually quick, so we can have your door secured in no time.

Mortice Deadlocks

Euro cylinder locks offer great security, but sometimes you need something more robust. That's where mortice deadlocks come in. These locks fit into a pocket cut into the door, making them incredibly strong.

We often install models like the Union 2134 and Yale PM562, which meet the BS3621 British Standard. This means they're recognized by insurance companies, adding an extra layer of security.

Mortice deadlocks are ideal for wooden doors, commonly found in Victorian terraces across Dalston and Hackney. They're operated with a key from both sides, making them a solid choice against forced entry.

Unlike surface-mounted locks, mortice deadlocks are hidden, providing a neat appearance.

It's essential to ensure your door is thick enough to accommodate the lock. If you're unsure, we can help assess your needs.

Mortice deadlocks are a great choice for those wanting more security in their homes.

UPVC Multipoint Mechanisms

The mechanism works by turning a key or lifting a handle, which engages several hooks or bolts into the door frame. This design ensures a snug seal, helping with both security and insulation.

UPVC doors often come with these built-in, but if you're considering an upgrade, it's worth noting their advantages.

We install various brands, including Mila, GU Ferco, and Yale Lockmaster, each offering unique features.

They're ideal for modern homes and can fit Victorian terraces or new builds alike, providing a versatile security solution.
