The right answer starts with the condition of the door
We avoid assuming every problem needs a new lock. Inspection helps separate a repairable fault from worn hardware or a genuine need for improved security.
Restore dependable operation
Replacement may be preferable when parts are worn, keys are missing or damage makes continued use unreliable.
- Lost or unaccounted keys
- Failed cylinders and locks
- Access changes after occupancy
Improve future protection
A planned upgrade considers compatible security-rated products and the construction of the existing door.
- British Standard options
- High-security cylinders
- Modern controlled access

Understanding the fault
A lock does not operate on its own
The key and cylinder are only the visible beginning. The internal mechanism, handle movement, latch position and frame alignment determine whether the complete door locks correctly.
Key or cylinder resistance
Wear, damage or pressure can make turning difficult and increase the risk of a snapped key.
Handle or gearbox failure
Loose, dropping or immovable handles can indicate an internal multipoint problem.
Door position and keeps
If the door must be lifted or pushed hard, alignment may be loading the lock unnecessarily.
