Fireworks night kept me busy with a late‑night callout. The key was completely jammed in the lock and wouldn’t move at all. After assessing the situation, it was clear the lock couldn’t be salvaged.

I removed it without causing any damage to the door and fitted a new BSI‑rated lock to keep the property secure.

Sunday fun day turned into a solid bit of problem‑solving.

A customer’s gearbox failed, leaving the door not closing securely and the latch completely non‑functional.

I attended the property and carried out a full investigation. After stripping down the gearbox, it became clear the retaining spring had failed. A repair was attempted, but the latch couldn’t be restored to reliable working order.

Replacement parts are now ordered and the follow‑up repair is booked at the customer’s convenience with the door left secure and ready for use until new part can be fitted.

Saturday morning call-out supporting a landlord after a tenant left and took the keys with them.
Door opened swiftly and a full lock change carried out.

The old lock was drilled out to save time and, as it was being replaced anyway, it ensured a fast and efficient turnaround for the customer.

A call‑out this evening to a customer locked out due to a failed gearbox, with dinner still cooking inside.

The door was locked shut, but access was gained by removing the lock and carefully manipulating the faulty gearbox to open the door.

Fresh parts fitted, everything rebuilt, and the door is now secure and working smoothly again.

Dropped door today caused a failed cylinder — a small alignment issue that turned into a bigger headache.

If your door is getting harder to close or the handle feels stiff, it’s often a sign things are out of line. A quick adjustment can prevent damage to the cylinder and save you money in the long run.

Give me a call and I’ll get it sorted before it becomes a costly problem 🔐

Call‑out today to an industrial unit after the portacabin office lock failed.

The faulty cylinder was swapped out and upgraded to a 1★ Yale, giving the team stronger everyday protection ideal for staff storing personal items in the changing room and for keeping office computers secure.

Quick call‑out into town this morning to help a shop that couldn’t open after their keys were lost.

If you can’t get in, you can’t trade simple as that. From the moment they rang me to the moment the shutters were up again was under 40 minutes, keeping disruption and lost business to an absolute minimum.
