Door Lock Faults and Repairs in Stockport
Problems with locking are not always down to the lock itself. If the key turns but the door will not lock, or the handle is difficult to operate, the cause may be the door or handle rather than the cylinder. Rather than changing the lock straight away, our engineers check the door and handle first, so the repair targets the real fault.
Lock Repair Comes First
Repair is the right option if your mortice lock is worn and doesn’t slide smoothly into the keep, you have problems with the gearbox/multipoint mechanism or when your door isn’t lining up correctly.
One problem can often cause another, and it is important to assess the door, lock and handle together which our engineers will advise you on before commencing any work. We endeavour wherever possible to undertake non-destructive entry methods, gaining access to your property without damaging the door. We cover Great Moor and Heaviley off Buxton Road (A6) and Offerton off Marple Road, Hall Street and Offerton Lane.
How We Diagnose a Fault
- What happens when you use the key/handle? Does the key turn? Does the handle move?
- We look at the door to see if it’s hanging correctly; we check the hinges, the alignment and all locking points.
- We take a good look at the lock itself (gearbox/multipoint etc).
- We explain your options, whether repair or replace, and give you a price.
- Once you’re happy with the price, we get stuck in! Once the job’s done, we’ll give the lock a good test before we leave.
When Lock Replacement Is the Right Choice
If your lock has been damaged beyond repair, for instance after a break-in, or if you have lost or had your keys stolen, we can replace your lock. Our engineers are happy to fit Yale, Winkhaus and Mul-T-Lock locks, and can supply and fit BS3621 conforming locks and 3 Star TS007 anti snap security cylinders from all of the aforementioned ranges.
We will of course discuss the situation with you, and we will only ever replace a lock with your permission. Some home insurance companies require locks that meet certain standards, so always check the small print.
