Locksmith Cover in Neville’s Cross
Both Neville’s Cross jobs were inside the door rather than in the lock: a hook casing that had fallen apart, and a gearbox that stopped the key turning.
Our Work in Neville’s Cross
A top hook that would not retract
The front door would not open because the top hook would not pull back. Once the door was opened without damage, the hook casing turned out to have fallen apart. A new hook case was fitted and the door realigned. Read the job.
A key that would not turn to lock
The key would not turn to lock the door properly because the gearbox was faulty. The gearbox was replaced. Read the job.

Both Neville’s Cross faults were inside the door. A hook casing holds one of the locking points along the edge; when it breaks, that hook can stay thrown even with the handle down. A faulty gearbox, the part the key and handle drive, shows itself as a key that will not turn to lock.
