Amazing locksmith. I told Anthony my issue and straight away he gave me a quote and also advice on how to do the job myself if the prices weren't affordable. Very understanding and kind. Anthony was so nice and helpful and had the best price that I asked if he could do the work. He came almost immediately to check out the job, was polite and asked if he needed to remove his shoes. Reviewed the job and told us he would get the part and be able to fit it there and then. Within the space of an half an hour he had the part (which was difficult to source as it was a complexed job) and started the work. He was great conversation, honest and lovely, walking my partner through the job as he went. He did an extra bit of work that wasn't part of the original plan, but just out of good nature. A fantastic experience and we couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Common Door Lock Problems I Fix
Over the years, I’ve seen just about every kind of door lock problem in Newcastle homes and businesses. Here are the most common issues I repair:
Stuck or Jammed Locks
If your lock feels stiff or won’t turn at all, the locking mechanism may be worn, misaligned with the frame or hinges, or clogged with debris. I can quickly free the lock, realign it, and ensure it works smoothly again.
Faulty uPVC Door Locks & Multi Point Lock Issues
uPVC door locks and multi point locks are a common source of problems when the door isn’t properly aligned. If your handle won’t lift or the lock won’t shut properly, I can adjust the door alignment and repair or replace the mechanism where needed.
Composite Door Lock Repair
Composite doors can use more advanced lock systems, but they can still be vulnerable to worn cylinders, broken gearboxes, or lock snapping attempts. I provide complete composite door lock repair, so you don't have to worry about replacing the whole door.
Mortice Locks & Rim Cylinder Locks
Older wooden doors often use mortice locks or rim cylinder locks, which can become loose, faulty, or challenging to operate. I can repair or replace worn parts so your locks stay secure and easy to use.
Broken Keys & Lock Snapping
If a key has snapped inside the lock, or your lock has been targeted by lock snapping, I can remove the broken pieces and install a stronger euro cylinder lock or even an anti-snap lock upgrade for better protection.
