A Door That Locked Itself Behind You

Doors with a night latch, and some front doors, lock as soon as they close. Step out with the keys inside, let the door swing shut, and you are locked out even though nobody turned a key. The door is opened without damage and nothing needs replacing. If it happens often, a different lock or a thumbturn arrangement can be discussed.

Lost Keys, Snapped Keys and Failed Locks

Lost or stolen keys: the door is opened and the cylinder changed so they no longer work. A snapped key: drawn out of the cylinder first. A lock or gearbox that has failed and keeps the door shut: the door is opened and the part replaced. After a break-in, see burglary repairs in South Shields.
