Not every lock problem needs a new lock. Sometimes a repair or adjustment is enough; other times a damaged component needs replacing. Here's what's involved in some of the jobs we deal with.
Locked out of your home? The work depends on the type of lock and whether the mechanism is working normally. A door that has simply closed behind you is different from one with a broken key or failed lock.

A standard euro cylinder is different from a mortice lock or multipoint locking system. The parts and fitting requirements vary depending on the hardware.
A straightforward lockout, a broken key and a door that won't lock are different jobs. Identifying the fault helps determine the best way to put it right.
Some jobs only need an adjustment, while others require new parts. Urgent or out-of-hours work can also differ from a planned visit.
It depends on what's wrong. A stiff lock might need an adjustment, while a damaged internal mechanism may need replacing.
There's little benefit in fitting a completely new locking system when only one component is faulty. Equally, repairing badly worn hardware isn't always the best long-term choice.
Some faults are caused by loose fittings, misalignment or components that can be adjusted or repaired. The condition of the lock determines whether this is practical.
Replacement may be appropriate when the lock is damaged beyond practical repair, the hardware is unsuitable or you need new keys after moving home or losing your existing keys.
When fitting a replacement, consider the door type, existing hardware and any security requirements. For certain timber-door locks, see our guide to British Standard BS3621 locks .
