LOCK REPLACEMENT SERVICES

Our locksmith company has built a great reputation for providing an affordable lock changing service to Edinburgh and the local areas. This is why most of our work comes through word of mouth and repeat custom.

If you have moved into a new home or taken over business premises, we recommend changing the locks at that property. Over the years we have been to many burglaries where there is no visible sign of forced entry. Therefore, someone must have kept a key for those premises.

A lock changing service does not just apply to newly acquired premises. Locks can be changed to existing properties to upgrade security, and to meet the British standard requirements.

Our Edinburgh locksmith service uses the highest quality lock suppliers, and brands. Therefore, a customer will always get the best level of quality and security installed to their premises. Some of the brands we use include: Yale Union Era.

We can install locks from scratch onto almost any door, at almost no extra cost to a normal lock changing job. Our van is fully stocked to deal with all lock changing scenarios. some of these locks include:

Anti snap locks, Access Control locks, Aluminium Doors locks, British Standard Locks, Cabinet Locks, Code Locks, Digital Locks, Euro Cylinders, Garage Door Locks, Mortice Locks, Multi point gearboxes, Nightlatch locks, Oval Cylinders, Padlocks, Restricted Cylinders, Screw In Cylinders, Shed Locks, Master Key Systems, Shutter locks, Timber Door locks, UPVC repair locks, and Window Locks.

UPVC DOOR AND WINDOW REPAIRS

The main causes of faulty UPVC door and window locks are wear and tear and lack of proper maintenance.  Certain lock components can suffer due to problems relating to poor alignment and lack off lubrication. This can cause broken metal fragments to jam the lock and ultimately lock the householder in or out of their property. Once doors require additional effort to lock correctly, an urgent repair should be a priority.

Many people are content to live with a problem until an essential repair is needed.  However, these essential repairs are often more costly and the damage worsens unpredictably.  Would you want to leave your home or business unexpectedly vulnerable because you did not want to schedule maintenance?  Avoid this headache.

It is much cheaper to merely service your UPVC lock rather than be forced to replace it.  This is why it is important to contact a skilled locksmith to maintain your locks and get your door readjusted properly.

Call to set up an appointment with us today.  We’re happy to give you advice about your UPVC locks.
