Locksmith Cover in Pallion
Pallion has the widest spread of jobs on our Sunderland records: a lockout, a key stuck in a jammed lock, two stiff doors that turned out to be the gearbox, and a thumbturn fitted because keys kept going missing.
Our Work in Pallion
Locked out after losing the keys
The front door keys were lost. The door was opened without damage and a new anti-snap lock fitted, so the lost keys no longer work. Read the job.
A new lock that did not cure a stiff door
The door had become very stiff to lock. The customer had bought and fitted a new lock, which did not help and was too small. The real cause was a faulty gearbox and a door well out of alignment: a new gearbox and anti-snap euro cylinder were fitted and the door realigned. Read the job.
Damaged gearbox
Damaged parts inside the gearbox made the door hard to lock and unlock. The gearbox was replaced and the door realigned. Read the job.
Key stuck in a jammed lock
After the police had gained entry and changed the lock, the key stuck in it. The lock was so jammed that the handles had to be drilled off before the cylinder and handle could be replaced. Read the job.
Thumbturn for keys that kept going missing
Keys kept getting lost, so the lock was changed to a thumbturn. Read the job.
The Pallion jobs show why we look before replacing: a customer had already fitted a new lock to a stiff door and it made no difference, because the stiffness came from the gearbox and the door’s alignment. A lock that is genuinely jammed is different again, and can need the handles removing before the cylinder comes out.
