Whether a lock is sticking, a key has gone missing or you want to improve control over who has access, let's find the right solution.
Help with stiff, faulty or damaged locks, plus advice on suitable replacement hardware for your door.
Discuss a repair →Locked out? Get in touch to explain the situation. We'll discuss the available options and likely costs before work begins.
Ask about an opening →Replacement keys for compatible locks. Ask about your key type first so we can confirm whether we can help.
Ask about a key →Where the lock allows it, rekeying changes the key that operates it without necessarily replacing the whole lock.
Discuss rekeying →Friendly communication from first contact to job completion.
Lock problems can be stressful. The aim is to make the next step clear, with practical advice and no unnecessary jargon.
We'll start by understanding the issue, then agree a sensible way forward.
Tell us where you are, what the lock or key is doing, and whether the job is urgent.
We'll ask a few questions and explain the likely approach, availability and costs where possible.
We'll confirm the plan before proceeding, subject to checking the lock and circumstances in person.
Based around Wellingborough, with enquiries welcome from surrounding Northamptonshire towns and villages. Travel and appointment availability will depend on the job.
If you're not sure what service you need, just explain what's happening.
Contact us with your location and a brief description of the door and lock. We'll confirm whether we can attend and discuss options and costs. Availability is not guaranteed until confirmed.
Where practical, repair may be an option. It depends on the fault, lock type and condition; we'll explain whether repair or replacement looks more suitable.
Rekeying changes the internal configuration of a compatible lock so an existing key no longer operates it and a new key does. Not every lock can be rekeyed, so the lock type needs to be checked.
Key cutting depends on the key type, blank availability and whether the key is restricted or protected. Send a description or photo when enquiring, but don't share a key code publicly.
Please ask about current availability. This website does not promise a 24-hour service; attendance depends on the time, location and workload.
Tell us about the lock, door or key and we'll discuss the next step.
