What We Do When We Arrive

When your door's acting up or a key's snapped in the lock, it's time for us to step in. Once we arrive, we greet you and quickly determine the situation. We're all about understanding what's wrong as fast as possible. This means checking out the lock, the door alignment, and any other potential issues. We always bring along our trusty toolkit, filled with everything we might require.

Next, we explain what we've found and how we plan to fix it. We believe you should know exactly what's happening. If it's a simple fix, like extracting a broken key, we'll get right to it.

For more complex problems, like a faulty mechanism, we might need a few extra steps. But don't worry, we work efficiently to minimize any inconvenience. Our goal is to ensure your door is back to working smoothly before we leave.

Types of Locks and Doors We Work On

We work on a wide variety of locks and doors, ensuring your home stays secure and functional. From traditional homes to modern flats, we've got the know-how to handle different types of lock systems and door materials.

Whether you're dealing with wooden doors in Victorian terraces or sturdy UPVC in new-builds, we tackle each with the same level of care.

Our expertise spans a range of locks, including mortice deadlocks like Union 2134 and Yale PM562. We also handle UPVC multipoint gearboxes from brands such as Mila and Fuhr.

For those interested in technology, we install smart locks like the Yale Conexis L2, making your home not just secure, but also convenient.

We understand that every home is unique, so we approach each door and lock with a tailored solution, ensuring everything fits perfectly and works smoothly.

Your home's security is always in good hands with us.

Euro Cylinder Locks

One of their standout features is the ability to upgrade security without changing the entire lock system. For instance, if you feel the need for more robust protection, you can easily swap the cylinder. Many brands like Ultion Smart and Yale Superior offer high-security options that resist picking and drilling.

Another advantage is their compatibility with smart lock technology. You can enhance convenience by integrating smart features, giving us better control over who enters our homes. Euro cylinders cater to various security needs while providing flexibility. Whether it's for a new build or a period property, they offer a reliable solution.

Mortice Deadlocks

Mortice deadlocks are a solid choice for boosting home security. They're fitted into the door itself, making them sturdy and difficult for intruders to tamper with. We often recommend options like the Union 2134, Yale PM562, and ERA Fortress BS3621, which are popular in Dalston homes.

These locks require a key to open from both sides, adding an extra layer of security. It's vital to make certain they're installed correctly, as improper fitting can compromise their effectiveness.

Mortice deadlocks are versatile and can be used on various door types, whether you live in a Victorian terrace or a modern flat.

Choosing the right mortice deadlock will depend on your specific needs, including the level of security you want and the type of door you have. If you're uncertain about the best option, consulting with a professional locksmith can guide you toward the most suitable choice.

UPVC Multipoint Mechanisms

Multipoint locks engage when you lift the handle and turn the key, activating hooks, bolts, and rollers. This design distributes force, enhancing security and stability. They're particularly effective for UPVC doors, providing a snug fit that resists drafts and noise.

Choosing the right multipoint mechanism is important. Brands like Mila, GU Ferco, and Yale Lockmaster offer reliable options. Each has unique features, so it's worth considering your door type and security needs.

Regular maintenance keeps them functioning smoothly, ensuring they continue to protect your home effectively.

For any concerns, we're always ready to assist.

When to Repair vs Replace

Deciding whether to repair or replace a lock can be a bit tricky, but it's something we all face sooner or later. We often wonder if a repair will do the trick or if it's time to invest in a new lock. Let's break down some key considerations.

If the lock is sticking or jamming, a simple repair might be enough. But if the key won't turn at all, replacement could be the safer bet. Consider the lock's age and security features as well. An older lock might lack modern security benefits.
