Specialist Locksmith Services
Most modern doors use a multi-point locking system (the long metal strip that bolts into the frame). These are complex pieces of hardware that require a specialist locksmith to service correctly.
When to Call a Locksmith:
- The handle is stiff: This often means the door is misaligned and putting pressure on the lock.
- The key won’t turn: The internal “gearbox” may be failing.
- The door is jammed shut: Chris provides a non-destructive entry service to open the door and replace the faulty mechanism.
- Floppy handles: A sign that the spring in the lock case could be broken.
Window Locksmith & Mechanism Repairs
Window locks (often called espagnolettes) are prone to snapping after years of use. If your window handle turns but the window stays shut, or if it won’t lock at all, you need a locksmith who understands window hardware.
We stock a wide range of:
- Shootbolts and Espags: The internal sliding parts that secure the window.
- Friction Stays (Hinges): If your window has gaps or doesn’t close tightly, we can replace the hinges to restore a secure seal.
- Replacement Keys: Not impossible but difficult to get hold off. If you’ve lost your window keys, it is recommended to install new handles or replacement cylinders.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need a new door if the lock is broken?
No. As a specialist locksmith, Chris Triggs can usually replace just the faulty locking mechanism or the central gearbox. This restores the door to perfect working order for a fraction of the cost of a new door.
