Repair, Rekey or Replace: How We Decide

When faced with a lock issue, whether it's a snapped key or a stiff cylinder, we carefully assess the situation right at your doorstep. Our goal is to determine whether a simple repair or a rekeying will suffice, or if a full lock replacement is the safer option.

For instance, if you're moving into a Tonsleys terrace near Wandsworth Town station and old keys are unaccounted for, we might recommend a full change.

We specialize in working with various door types—uPVC, composite, timber, and aluminium—ensuring that our solution fits your specific needs. We check for worn levers or a malfunctioning mechanism and decide on the spot if a rekey or a repair is adequate.

Trust our expertise with brands like Ultion and Yale to secure your home effectively. Whether it's a quick fix or a complete upgrade, your security is our priority.

Surveying the Door Before Ordering Parts

Before diving into a lock repair or replacement, we make certain to thoroughly survey your door. This careful examination is vital for guaranteeing a perfect fit, and it starts with measuring the cylinder, case, and backset.

We know that every detail counts, so we check the door alignment and look for common issues like hinge drop, especially in older doors around Garratt Lane.

Identifying the mechanism type is another important step. By comprehending the specific needs of your door, we prevent the frustration of ordering incorrect parts. A wrong measurement can lead to a poor fit, compromising security and functionality.

Our meticulous approach guarantees that each component is precisely sized to your door. This attention to detail is part of what sets us apart, helping us secure Victorian terraces, Edwardian grids, and modern flats with precision.

We're getting it right the first time, every time.

The Right Cylinder or Case for Each Door

Choosing the right cylinder or case for each door is essential to maintaining security and functionality. We've got several options tailored to different door types. For uPVC and composite doors, euro cylinders are our go-to due to their versatility and security features. For the attractive Victorian terrace timber doors, mortice and rim setups provide the perfect blend of tradition and safety. Aluminium doors, often found in modern flats, benefit from hookbolt cases that offer robust security.

Consider the following options:

| Door Type | Recommended Lock |

|---------------------|-----------------------------|

| uPVC/Composite | Euro Cylinder |

| Timber (Victorian) | Mortice/Rim |

| Aluminium | Hookbolt Case |

For exposed front doors, an anti-snap cylinder like Ultion adds extra protection. However, sometimes a plain kitemarked cylinder is enough, especially in less vulnerable areas. Let's make certain each door is secure and efficient.

Standards Insurers Look For on Renewal

Understanding the standards insurers look for on renewal is essential to keeping your coverage intact. We know how important it's to guarantee that your locks meet these standards without over-buying.

Insurers typically check for BS3621 certification on mortice and nightlatch deadlocks, especially for timber doors. This provides robust protection against common break-in methods.

For euro cylinders, insurers look for TS007 3-star ratings or Sold Secure Diamond standards. These ratings indicate high resistance to drilling, picking, and snapping, which are critical for maintaining your policy.

Additionally, the Secured by Design endorsement for the whole doorset can provide extra reassurance, as it's recognized for meeting stringent security criteria.

We fit locks to these standards across Wandsworth and surrounding areas, making sure your home remains secure and your insurance valid.

How We Fit the Replacement and Check Every Key

When we tackle a lock replacement, we start by expertly removing the old mechanism without a trace of damage. This precision guarantees your door remains in perfect condition.

Next, we seat the new cylinder or case snugly, making necessary adjustments to the keeps and multipoint strip. It's vital that everything fits perfectly to assure smooth operation.

Once installed, we cycle the lock from both sides using every key. This step confirms that each key works smoothly, providing security that your security is uncompromised.

We pride ourselves on tidy work, making sure to remove all old hardware from your property.

Before we leave, we give you clear guidance on using your new keys. We want to make sure you feel confident and secure with your upgraded lock.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Your satisfaction and safety are our top priorities. Call us anytime at 020 7078 6347.
