In NW London, many of us face lock issues that can disrupt our daily routines. It's important to be aware of common failures so we can address them quickly. Here are some issues we often encounter:
This is common in areas like NW4 Hendon and NW9 Kingsbury.
This is typical in older wood front doors across NW4 Hendon and HA8 Edgware.
Understanding these helps us maintain security and avoid inconvenience.
Deciding whether to repair or replace a lock involves several key considerations. Our primary goal is to save you money, so we always aim to repair first.
For instance, a UPVC multipoint hook misalignment can often be fixed by adjusting hinges and lubricating, taking about 20 minutes. However, if a UPVC gearbox seizes, we'll replace it from our van's inventory, which usually takes 30-45 minutes.
Sometimes, replacement is necessary for reliable, insurance-grade operation. A worn mortice deadlock lever might need swapping with a BS3621-rated lock, but we'll preserve the original brass keep and faceplate on historical doors for aesthetic continuity.
Similarly, a failing Yale night latch typically requires a new unit, completed in 15 minutes.
For early Colindale composite doors, a gearbox swap can save on costs versus a full hardware replacement.
Every decision prioritizes your satisfaction, backed by our guarantee.
