Symptoms We Fix
When your lock starts acting up, it can be a real hassle. We understand how frustrating it is when a lock doesn't function as it should.
In our area, we frequently encounter a range of issues that need expert attention. Whether it's a stiff or sticking euro cylinder or a door that refuses to lock without lifting the handle, these problems are common in our community.
Here are some symptoms we often fix:
- Stiff or sticking euro cylinder: A common issue that can make locking and releasing a chore.
- Worn multipoint gearbox: This often requires you to lift the handle to lock the door, a sign of wear.
- Dropped UPVC/composite doors: Causes alignment issues, making the door hard to close.
- Spinning thumbturn: If the key turns but the bolts don't throw, it's time for a fix.
Repair or Replace — How We Decide
How do we decide whether to repair or replace a lock? Our approach is straightforward and always in your best interest. We start by evaluating whether the lock mechanism is fundamentally sound. If it is, we might realign or re-gear it, ensuring it functions smoothly without unnecessary replacement.
If the cylinder or gearbox shows signs of wear or doesn't meet safety standards, we'll replace them. Our goal is to restore every lock to the BS3621 or TS007 3-Star insurance specification, providing you with the security you need.
We're honest in all our interactions. You won't find us upselling a full door mechanism if a simple cylinder or keep adjustment will do the trick.
We believe in transparent, fixed quotes with no hidden fees. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we aim to deliver efficient, reliable service every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a UPVC multipoint lock rather than replacing it?
In many cases yes — if the gearbox is the issue we stock common Mila, GU Ferco and Fuhr units for a same-visit swap. If the full mechanism is damaged, we'll advise on replacement and quote before starting.
How do I know if my lock needs a repair or full replacement?
If the door locks only when you lift the handle hard, or the key feels stiff, repair is usually possible. If the gearbox has sheared, a replacement is quicker and more reliable. We diagnose on arrival.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee, no hidden fees. Fixed quote before we start.
How long does a lock repair take?
A Yale-style night latch spring or cylinder swap takes 20-30 minutes. A multipoint gearbox change runs 30-60 minutes. We carry parts for most common SW London fittings in the van.
Are your repairs guaranteed?
Yes — all repair work carries a workmanship guarantee. If the same fault recurs within the guarantee period, we return at no extra charge. Public liability cover — certificate available on request.
UPVC and Composite Multipoint Realignment on Riverside Doors
Although often overlooked, the realignment of UPVC and composite multipoint doors is essential for maintaining security in riverside properties.
These doors can shift over time due to environmental factors like humidity and temperature changes, especially by the river. When alignment is off, it jeopardises not only the door's functionality but also your home's safety.
We make these doors close and lock smoothly again. Misalignment can cause the locking points to miss their marks, leaving your property vulnerable.
Our team uses precise tools to adjust and realign your door, restoring its ideal performance.
