Lock Repair in Bishop Auckland

Lock Repair in Bishop Auckland

A stiff lock in Bishop Auckland can be the key as much as the lock. This page explains how to tell, why a new cylinder with new keys is the fix for both, and when a lock should be changed even though it works.

Our Coundon job, a lock change for a landlord, is one of those cases.

We cover the whole Bishop Auckland area for this service, including Auckland Park, Binchester, Cockton Hill, Coundon Grange, Escomb, Etherley, Etherley Dene, Henknowle, Leeholme, Middlestone, Newfield, South Church, St Helen Auckland, Tindale, Toronto, West Auckland, Westerton, Witton Park and Woodhouse Close.

Worn Keys and Worn Cylinders

Keys wear along with the lock. A key that has to be wiggled or pulled out slightly before it turns, or works only one way up, is often worn itself. Because we do not cut keys, the answer is a new cylinder, which comes with its own new keys, and that cures both at once.

Changing a Working Lock

A lock that works should still be changed when you cannot account for every key: between tenants, after moving in, or when keys are lost. The cylinder is swapped and the rest of the lock stays. For a fault in the handle mechanism rather than the lock, see uPVC door lock repairs in Bishop Auckland.

Frequently Asked Questions

My key is worn. Can you cut a new one?

No, we do not cut keys. A new cylinder comes with new keys and solves a worn key and a worn lock together.

Do you cut keys or do car keys?

No. We do not offer auto locksmith services and we do not cut keys.
