Door and Lock Problems We See Around Stockport
uPVC, composite and timber entrance doors are fitted to properties across Stockport. From modern houses in Cheadle, Hazel Grove and Bramhall through to older houses around Edgeley, Heaton Norris and Stockport Town Centre, our engineers regularly repair faulty doors and locks.
Door problems that we regularly attend include:
- A uPVC/composite door that’s difficult to close, possibly due to problems with the alignment or multipoint locking mechanism/gearbox
- A front door that won’t lock, due to alignment problems (the door has dropped) or a faulty locking mechanism
- A front door handle that’s difficult to operate/stiff or alternatively very loose, possibly indicating excessive wear or a faulty mechanism inside the door
- A key that won’t turn in the lock due to damage or wear to the lock cylinder or possibly misalignment of the door
- A door that is stuck shut, possibly due to a faulty lock/gearbox/mechanism
All jobs are assessed by one of our engineers before any repair/replacement work is carried out.
Lock Brands and British Security Standards
The type of lock you require will depend on the type of door, your requirements in terms of security and the locking mechanism already installed.
Some examples of locks we may recommend:
- Yale: night latches, rim locks, cylinders
- ERA: door locks, cylinders, multipoint mechanisms
- Ultion: Three-star anti-snap euro cylinders
- Avocet: ABS anti-snap cylinders
- GU (Gretsch-Unitas): multipoint locking systems (mainly used for uPVC doors)
- BS3621: British Standard for certain thief-resistant mortice locks
- TS007: this is a security standard rather than a particular lock/handle. TS007 covers the security rating of the euro cylinder and door hardware (e.g., handle) in combination. So for example, a one-star TS007 cylinder may be suitable with a two-star security handle to give an overall three-star TS007-compliant combination.
Our engineer can advise you on the different options available depending on your requirements, existing lock and type of door.

For a more accurate idea of how soon we can get to you, call us up and provide your Stockport postcode, and journey times will also vary depending on whether you’re closer to Stockport Town Centre, Marple, Hazel Grove or Bramhall.
Our locksmith services are available 24 hours a day in Stockport. We’re open seven days a week including weekends and bank holidays. If you need assistance with a faulty lock, lost keys or have been locked out of your home, get in touch with us, and we can talk through the situation and check on the availability of one of our engineers.
In many cases, yes, and there are a number of non-destructive methods that can be used to gain entry to a locked property. However, this will depend on the circumstances and the type of lock that has been fitted, so unfortunately we can’t always guarantee damage-free entry. Your locksmith will carry out an assessment and explain your options before commencing any work.
We’d recommend changing the lock in this situation, especially if there’s a chance that your lost keys can be traced back to your address. The type of lock that would be suitable for you will be dependent on the type of door and locking system that you have. One of our engineers can discuss this with you once they’ve taken a look at your lock.
It could be that the door is misaligned or the locking points have worn. Alternatively, there may be an issue with the multipoint locking mechanism. You may notice that the handle is difficult to lift or the key may be stiff or difficult to turn. One of our engineers can have a look at your uPVC door and locking system and advise you on whether it’s likely to be a simple adjustment, a repair or whether the lock would be better off replacing.
There are a number of factors that could indicate that your lock needs attention, for example, a stiff key, a damaged cylinder, a loose handle or a lock that struggles to engage. Once the problem has been correctly diagnosed, it should become clear whether the lock can be repaired or whether replacement is the best option. Get in touch with us if you need some help.
