Common Lock Faults We Repair in Wigan

From worn night latches on older timber front doors in areas such as Whelley and Scholes to multipoint lock and gearbox problems on uPVC doors in newer estates such as Worsley Mesnes and Platt Bridge, our locksmith in Wigan can diagnose the fault and repair or replace your lock, saving you money wherever possible.

Some of the most common faults reported by our customers in Wigan are:

• If your key is sticking or not turning in the lock then you may have a worn Euro cylinder, or alternatively the problem could be a build-up of dirt in the locking mechanism. Misalignment between the door and frame can also cause the lock to stick.
• If your key turns but the lock isn’t engaging then the latch may be worn, or alternatively there could be a problem with the keep.
• If your key turns but the door won’t open then it could indicate a seized lock or mechanism. This sometimes occurs where a key has snapped in the lock.
• A spinning door handle could indicate a problem with the spindle or alternatively there may be a broken part within the locking mechanism.
• If your door isn’t closing properly it could be down to a dropped door or a worn latch.
• Multipoint locks fitted to uPVC doors often suffer from gearbox failure. When this happens the handle turns freely but no longer operates the multipoint locking system.

Lock Types We Repair or Replace

We can repair or replace a wide range of locks including:

• Night latches
• Mortice sash and passage locks
• Euro profile cylinder/barrels
• uPVC multipoint locking systems
• Patio / French door locking systems
• Window handles and locking systems

Door Alignment and Lock Adjustment in Wigan

It’s not always the case that a lock fault is actually a problem with the lock itself. For instance, if your key turns but the lock isn’t engaging it could be that the door has dropped slightly which means that the latch or bolt no longer lines up with the keep. If we just replaced the lock without checking the alignment of the door first there’s a chance that the new lock may suffer the same fate as the old one.

Lock Replacement and Security Upgrades

If your lock is beyond repair, worn or you’d simply like to upgrade your security we can supply and fit a whole host of locks including:

• BS3621 security-rated ERA 5 lever mortice locks and Yale night latches for timber doors
• TS007 3-star security-rated anti-snap cylinders such as the Ultion for uPVC/composite doors

We can also supply and fit Euro cylinders/barrels separately where the rest of the locking system is still in good working order.
