Don't Force It!
Professional Lock Diagnostics
Forcing a stiff lock usually leads to a snapped key or a completely broken mechanism. If your lock feels "gritty", loose, or hard to turn, call us. A simple service now can prevent a lockout later.
Snapped Key Extraction
Key broken off inside? Don't use glue! We have specialist extractors to pull the fragment out without damaging the lock.
Stiff / Gritty Locks
We strip down the lock, clean out old grease and debris, lubricate with graphite powder, and reassemble.
Door Realignment
If your latch isn't lining up with the strike plate, you don't need a new lock—you need your hinges adjusted.
Mortice Lock Springs
Handle drooping on your wooden door? We can replace the internal springs inside old Chubb/Union locks.
Loose Handles
Wobbly handles are annoying and can snap. We tighten internal bolts or replace worn spindles.
Garage Locks
Repairing seized T-handles and rusty padlock clasps on garages and sheds.
Honest Advice

We believe in honesty. Here is a quick guide to what we can fix vs. what needs replacing:
- REPAIRABLE: Stiff key operation (needs cleaning/lubrication).

- REPAIRABLE: Broken key fragment inside (extraction).
- REPLACE: Snapped internal cam or bolt.
- REPLACE: Severe rust/corrosion on internal levers.
Lock Repair FAQs
My key is hard to turn. Should I force it?
No! Forcing it will snap the key or break the internal cam. This turns a cheap repair into an expensive replacement. Call us to service the lock instead.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace?
Repairing is almost always cheaper. For example, adjusting a door alignment costs significantly less than buying a new lock mechanism or a new door.
Do you use WD40 on locks?
We advise against standard WD40 as it attracts dust and eventually gums up the lock. We use specialist Graphite Powder or PTFE dry lubricant designed for lock mechanisms.
