Keys can get broken whether you’re locking up or trying to get in. The most frustrating part is that it often happens because you’re rushing. If you’re already running late the last thing you want is a broken key. You can often prevent this happening by making sure you take your time. Thankfully, if it does happen it’s easy to fix. We can get your broken key out of the lock and even save your lock most of the time without having to drill or fit a new lock.

You’re trying to lock up and head out for the day. You turn your key, but the door won’t lock. This is often because the lock isn’t aligned properly so doesn’t sit where it needs to.
If this happens because of wear and tear we can usually repair it with some adjustments to the lock. Sometimes it’s an issue with the door and we might need to reposition the door itself. Whatever the cause we can be with you quickly to let you know what repair is needed and how long it will take.

If your key won’t go into the lock it’s worth checking whether you’ve got the right key. Test new keys when you first get them cut to make sure they’re working properly.

However, it’s also possible that there’s a blockage in the lock itself. DIY remedies can often cause more problems than they solve so call a reputable locksmith to investigate. We have a range of tools and specialist sprays that will clear most blockages for you.
