Moving house? Got a lock that’s seen better days? Or just ready to level up your security game? At Lock & Key Doncaster, our speedy, reliable 24/7/365 local locksmiths are always on call to get the job done: fast, efficiently, and fool-proof!
Are Your Locks Causing You Problems?
Locks are like little unsung heroes standing guard, protecting your valuables, and keeping your loved ones safe. But even the best locks can get a little tired over time. Father Time, Mother Nature, and other factors can sink their teeth into any lock. That’s when lock replacement or repair comes in. After all, peace of mind is priceless!
Just like any gadget or gizmo, locks can get a little tired and start to act up. So, to help you out, we’ve put together a list of the most common lock issues that homeowners often run into.
Wear and Tear
All that turning, twisting, and locking up can wear down the inner mechanisms. Springs can get tired, doors and windows can get a little wonky (thanks, weather!), and keyholes might end up with a bit of a dirt party in there. When this happens, your lock might start feeling sluggish or just flat-out refuse to cooperate!
Lost or Stolen Keys
If someone else gets their hands on your keys, they’re basically holding the keys to your kingdom! Anyone could just waltz in! Time to replace those locks or rekey them stat! It’s the ultimate move to get your security back on track and keep the unwanted visitors out!
Damaged Locks
A broken or damaged lock is basically waving a welcome sign to intruders, whether it’s from years of hard work, a botched break-in attempt, or just a mechanical meltdown! Fixing those locks ASAP is your best move to keep your home or business safe and sound!
Outdated Locks
Your vintage locks might be a little too old-school to meet current British Standards, like the all-important BS3621. And here’s the kicker! Many insurers require your locks to meet this standard. If your locks don’t make the grade, you could be voiding your insurance and put your property at greater risk!
Misplaced Keys
One of the most common problems with locks is simply not having the keys to open the door anymore. When your keys cannot be found, you risk having someone access and being unable to get access yourself. If you cannot find the keys in short order, call our expert team of Locksmiths and we will replace the locks and provide new keys – it’s better to be safe than sorry!
Jammed Locks
Dust, rust, and even a little misalignment can turn your smooth-locking friend into a stubborn mess! If you try to force that key in, you might end up with a snapped key inside the lock. Trust us. You don’t want to open this can of worms!
Key Snapping
If your key’s made from one of those soft metals, it’s basically just waiting to snap when you need it most! Twist, snap, uh-oh! Yanking out that broken key is impossible without turning your lock into a hot mess. So, leave it to us!
Moving Home
When you move in, there’s no way to know how many mystery keys are out there! Previous tenants, estate agents, or contractors could still have a key (yikes!). Changing those locks when you move in means only you and your trusted crew get to call the shots on who’s coming and going!
