Diagnose first. Repair second.
Hardware failures can look similar from the outside while requiring completely different parts. For example, a door handle that moves without operating the lock may point to a gearbox issue, whereas a handle that is simply difficult to lift can be caused by alignment or resistance elsewhere in the locking system.
Survey detail that helps get the repair right.
Our survey workflow can record measurements such as backset, PZ centres, stack height and cylinder dimensions where relevant, as well as manufacturer markings and close-up photographs. That information stays linked to the exact surveyed unit.
One repair or a whole property.
Where adjustment is enough, we will not specify replacement hardware unnecessarily. The aim is to return the opening to reliable operation with the proportionate repair.
Frequently asked questions
Can you identify an old window or door lock?
We record visible markings and relevant measurements and use those details to identify suitable replacement hardware where it remains available.
Do stiff handles always need replacing?
No. A stiff handle may be reacting to a worn or misaligned mechanism. The opening should be diagnosed before deciding whether the handle itself is the problem.
Can window hinges be replaced?
Yes. Worn friction stays and other common window hinges can often be replaced if the frame and sash remain suitable.
Do you repair multipoint door locks?
Yes. We assess the gearbox, locking strip, keeps and door alignment so the repair addresses the actual fault.
