Recent Work in the Chester-le-Street Area

Genuine jobs we have completed in the Chester-le-Street area, of any kind (not necessarily garage door lock work):

• Faulty Window Mechanism in Chester-le-Street (Window Mechanisms): A bathroom window was hard to lock because of a faulty mechanism; the gearbox mechanism was replaced.
• Door realignment Durham in Sacriston (Door Realignment): The front door was hard to lock because the bottom keep did not line up with the deadbolt; the keep was moved so the door locked smoothly.

Symptoms and Causes

• The key goes in but will not turn: a worn cylinder, or the door binding because it has dropped.
• The handle spins: the cam or linkage behind it has failed.
• The door locks but a corner stays loose: a bar or latch is bent or missing its keep.
• A snapped key: extracted, and the cylinder checked.

Lost Keys and Upgrades

Lost garage keys do not mean a new door: in High Shincliffe, near Durham, new handles with keys made both doors of a double garage lockable again (the job). A lock that works but is basic can be swapped for an anti-snap one, as on a garage in Seaham (the job).
