Lock Repairs Catford

A broken or failing lock rarely fixes itself, and it usually gets worse. Catford & SE Locksmiths repair stiff, jammed, loose and broken locks on homes, flats, shops and commercial premises across Catford, SE6 and South East London - often restoring the lock for far less than the cost of a full replacement.

The most common repairs we carry out are on euro cylinders, five-lever mortice locks, night latches, door handles and the keeps the bolts locate into. A key that sticks or spins, a handle that has dropped, or a door you have to lift or shoulder to lock are all early warning signs that a part is wearing out.

Front door lock repair is our bread and butter. Front doors take the most use and the most weather, so over time the cylinder wears, the latch stops catching, or the door drops slightly on its hinges and pulls the lock out of alignment. We find the real cause rather than just treating the symptom, so the door locks smoothly and securely again.

A key that will not turn is one of the most common calls we get. It can be caused by a worn cylinder, a damaged or badly copied key, dry internal parts, a dropped door, or a mechanism that is starting to fail. Catching it early matters - a key that is hard to turn today is often a full lockout next week.

UPVC and composite doors use a multipoint mechanism that locks at several points along the frame. When the gearbox or multipoint strip fails, the door will only lock when lifted, the handle goes floppy, or the bolts will not throw at all. We carry common UPVC mechanisms and can usually repair the door the same day without replacing it.

We also repair commercial and shop door locks - shopfront cylinders, deadlocks, panic hardware and door closers - so businesses can stay secure and open. Whether it is a domestic front door or a busy retail entrance, we explain whether a repair or a replacement is the better value option before we start, and there is no call-out fee.
