Every burglar in Lancashire knows when schools break up. Chorley streets go quiet. Families head to the airport. And break-ins rise 27% in the first two weeks of summer holidays.

Last summer, we handled 34 post-holiday break-in calls across Chorley, Buckshaw Village, and Euxton. Don't come home to a smashed back door.
✅ Your Pre-Holiday Security Checklist:
🔐 Locks

⚠️ Test every door and window lock — not the night before, do it now

⚠️ Back doors account for 41% of Chorley break-ins — always check yours

💡 Lights

⚠️ Set timer lights in 2–3 rooms using random, non-round times

⚠️ Switch on outdoor motion lighting on all sides
📬 Post and Garden

⚠️ Arrange Royal Mail hold or ask a neighbour to collect

⚠️ Mow the lawn and lock away ladders and tools

⚠️ Padlock side gates — they lead to your back door
📱 Social Media

⚠️ Talk to your kids about this too

If your door handle lifts freely with no resistance — or your door simply will not lock — your multipoint lock gearbox has most likely failed. It is one of the most common call-outs we receive across Chorley and Lancashire, and in most cases, we diagnose and fix it in a single visit.

🔍 Common Causes of Multipoint Lock Failure:
⚠️ Broken gearbox — handle moves freely but nothing engages
⚠️ Worn or cracked spindle — movement does not reach the mechanism
⚠️ Misaligned keeps — door has dropped and bolt points will not line up
⚠️ Seized bolt points — caused by rust or damp conditions over time

🔑 What We Repair:
✅ Gearbox replacement — the most common and quickest fix
✅ Spindle and handle mechanism repair
✅ Keep and door frame realignment
✅ Full mechanism replacement where needed

We carry parts for major brands — Winkhaus, Yale, ERA, Fullex, Mila and Avocet — on every van. No waiting around for parts. No second appointments needed.

💬 With 407 five-star Google reviews, Safe Trader approved and DBS-checked, Chorley residents trust First Pick Locksmiths to get it right first time. No call-out fee. Clear, fixed price always confirmed before we start any work.

📞 Call now us, we are available 24/7, 365 days a year!

It’s easy to turn a blind eye to a temperamental window lock—right up until the moment it refuses to close on a freezing night, or you suddenly realise your home hasn't actually been secure for weeks. 🪟

At First Pick Locksmiths, fixing and replacing faulty window locks is all in a week's work for our team across Chorley and the wider Lancashire region. While it might seem like a minor hassle, getting it sorted makes a world of difference to your peace of mind and home security.

The Most Common Window Lock Faults We Fix:
Slipped or Stripped Espagnolette Handles: This is the most frequent culprit on modern uPVC windows. The handle spins or turns, but fails to engage the mechanism—usually because the internal spindle or gearbox has worn away.

Snapped or Loose Cockspur Handles: Typically found on older uPVC double glazing. If the nose of a cockspur handle snaps off, the window offers virtually zero resistance to an intruder.

Tilt-and-Turn Windows Stuck on 'Tilt': A jammed mechanism can leave your window permanently venting at the top, refusing to close properly or transition back to the 'turn' position.

Seized or Corroded Key Barrels: Years of battling the British weather without regular maintenance can cause the lock cylinder to seize up entirely or snap your key.

Fast, Local, and Reliable Service
Our Promise: We aim to complete the vast majority of window lock repairs on our very first visit. Our vans are fully stocked with a wide range of premium, British Standard replacement parts to get your home secure without delay. ✅

Areas We Cover:
We proudly serve homeowners and businesses throughout Chorley, Leyland, Preston, Bamber Bridge, Standish, Wigan, Coppull, and the surrounding North West communities.
