When the People With Keys Change

A lock change is worth considering whenever you cannot be sure who holds a key: after moving into a property, when a tenant or lodger leaves, when a relationship ends, or after keys have been lost. Changing the cylinder is usually enough; the door, handles and mechanism stay, and only the new keys work.

When the Lock Has a Fault

• Stiff only when the door is shut: the door or a keep has moved; adjusted, not replaced.
• Stiff all the time, or the key will not go in: the cylinder is worn or failing; replaced.
• Handle lifts but does not lock: the gearbox; see uPVC door lock repairs in Ferryhill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a whole new lock to change who has keys?

Usually not. On most doors the cylinder is changed and the rest of the lock stays.

Do you cut keys or do car keys?

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