Thanks to our extensive locksmith knowledge and experience, there isn’t a lock we can’t fix! Discover the types of locks we repair across Wakefield below.

uPVC Door Lock Repair

One of the most common types of locks we’re called out to repair are uPVC door locks. They’re a popular choice thanks to their aesthetic and the level of security they provide; unfortunately, the mechanisms within the centre of the gearbox have a tendency of crumbling apart over time. Regular use of the door handle and general wear and tear can affect the spindle inside, causing the whole lock to break. This can also occur when we experience severe temperatures or purely down to the age of the lock itself.

Our locksmiths will attend your Wakefield property swiftly, and get straight to work on diagnosing the issue at hand. We keep our vans stocked with common parts and replacement locks to help us repair your uPVC door locks as quickly as possible. 

Repairing your broken uPVC door lock is a cheaper option than replacing the full door, so we’ll always do our best to repair the lock first. As well as repairing or replacing your uPVC look, we’ll also fit an anti-snap cylinder to help increase the security of your Wakefield property!

Lock Repairs for Composite Doors

Composite doors are an incredibly popular choice in homes across Wakefield, and yet despite their security benefits, they will still fall victim to broken or damaged locks from time to time. The locks inside of composite doors are incredibly similar to those found in uPVC doors and so they often suffer from the same issues, including general wear and tear of parts, damaged handles, and more.

If you’ve discovered that the lock on your composite door is damaged, get in touch with us today by calling 01924 378444, and we could have a locksmith out to you in under an hour! We’ll use our expertise to diagnose the issue at hand and repair or replace the faulty parts, where possible, getting your composite door back in working order in no time.

Wooden Door Lock Repairs

Wooden door locks, also referred to as Mortice locks, are less common today – but don’t worry, we can still repair them for you! We’re often called to homes across Wakefield to repair wooden door locks damaged by the weather resulting in warping, general wear and tear, and even keys broken off in the lock due to excessive force combined with the weight of wooden doors.

Our Wakefield locksmiths are highly experienced in repairing mortice locks on wooden doors, so you can rest assured knowing that you’re in capable hands. Plus, we stock a wide range of wooden door locks and components in our vans, so you won’t have to wait around for spare parts!

Yale Lock and Nightlatch Repair Services

Yale locks and nightlatches tend to be pretty robust, so it’s uncommon that we’re called out to repair a damaged one. Typically the Yale or nightlatch jobs we attend in Wakefield are due to people accidentally shutting their doors behind them and locking themselves out! Saying this, a damaged Yale lock isn’t impossible.

If you’re having issues with your Yale lock or nightlatch, we recommend getting it fixed as soon as possible. Leaving issues like your key sticking just places you at risk of being locked out sooner rather than later when the lock eventually breaks.

We’ll attend your Wakefield property as quickly as possible and have your Yale lock repaired or replaced in no time.

Repairs for Patio Door Locks

Damaged locks on your patio doors seriously decreases the security of your home, leaving your property extremely vulnerable to burglaries. Unfortunately, due to the number of different parts present in bi-fold doors, standard double doors, french doors, and stable doors, there is an increased risk of a problem arising.

If your patio door lock is damaged, we’ll do everything we can to repair the lock as quickly as possible. If the damage caused has left your patio door lock beyond repair, then we’ll replace the entire lock in the same visit, leaving you safe and sound. Our vans are fully equipped with common patio door locks and spare parts, allowing us to complete your patio door lock repair as quickly as possible.

Whatever the circumstances, if you need a window or door lock repair service in Wakefield then call us on 01924 378444. Available 24/7 across Wakefield and the surrounding areas of West Yorkshire, we’ll have your broken door locks repaired in no time!
