Manchester Door Lock Identification
At Lockforce Manchester, we specialise in identifying and installing the three main types of locks commonly fitted to domestic and business properties across the UK.
Understanding the type of lock on your door is crucial for ensuring proper security.
We can usually identify your lock with a few simple questions over the phone, but you can also refer to the descriptions below to help identify your lock type.
Types of Locks
Euro Cylinders
Euro Cylinders are one of the most prevalent locks in the UK, especially on UPVC and composite doors, sliding patio doors, and some wooden doors with mortice locks. These locks are easily recognisable by their shape, commonly found on modern UPVC doors. Typically, you need to lift the door handle and turn the key to lock the door. There are various types of Euro Cylinders, including:
- Standard Euro Cylinders
- Anti-Snap Cylinders (also known as Anti-Lockout Cylinders)
- British Standard Locks with security levels TS007 1 Star, 2 Star, and 3 Star
At Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester, we prioritise fitting Anti-Snap locks to prevent burglaries, as Euro Cylinders are often targeted using the "lock snapping" technique.
Mortice Locks
Mortice locks, or sash locks, are commonly found on wooden and sometimes metal doors. These locks are fitted internally with only the keyhole visible, used to retract or extend the bolt. Mortice locks come in different lever types:
- 2, 3, and 5 Lever Locks: Exterior doors should always be fitted with 5 Lever British Standard locks for enhanced security (BS3621/2007).
A sash lock operates like a mortice deadbolt but includes a latch, allowing the door to be opened and closed without locking it. Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester always fits 5 Lever British Standard locks on external doors to meet insurance requirements. Look for the Kite mark on the faceplate to identify a British Standard lock.
Night Latch & Yale Lock
Night latches, often referred to as Yale locks, are typically fitted to wooden doors. They feature:
- Rim Cylinder: A round faceplate on the exterior where the key is inserted.
- Internal Casing: Contains a catch that fits into the keep on the door frame.
Types of Night Latches include:
- Standard Night Latch (non-deadlocking)
- Deadlocking Night Latch
- Auto Deadlocking Night Latch
- Double Locking Night Latch
For enhanced security and to meet insurance standards, Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester recommends British Standard Night Latches (BS3621). These locks are more secure and identifiable by the Kite mark on the internal casing. Fitting these locks is crucial for home insurance compliance, particularly in student accommodations, older homes, and Manchester Airbnbs.

Manchester UPVC Door and Window Repairs
At Lockforce Manchester, we offer comprehensive lock repair services and minor adjustments for UPVC windows and doors.
Our expert locksmiths ensure your UPVC doors and windows function smoothly and securely.
UPVC Door and Window Handle Repairs
Broken Window or Door Handles Lockforce Manchester can supply and fit new UPVC door handles and window handles.
If your current handles are worn, snapped, or if you simply want a new style, we have a range of options to choose from.
Common UPVC Door Issues: Is Your UPVC Door Hard to Lock?
You don't necessarily need a new door. Changes in weather, such as the transition from winter to summer, can affect the plastic in UPVC doors, causing them to shrink or expand. This can lead to lock issues and misalignment:
- Summer: UPVC doors expand, while wooden doors shrink.
- Winter: UPVC doors shrink, while wooden doors expand.
As a locksmith in Manchester, we receive many calls about UPVC doors becoming difficult to lock. Forcing the door handle can eventually cause the gearbox to fail, resulting in the door becoming stuck in the locked position.
Replacing a gearbox and opening a failed MPL is more expensive than a simple door readjustment. It’s always better to address the issue at the first sign of difficulty when locking the door.
If you are having problems with your uPVC door or windows or need a lock repair contact Lockforce locksmiths 24 hours a day on 0161 4100 651

Lockforce Manchester - Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my key stuck in the lock when I tried to lock/unlock the door? Picadilly, Manchester M1 - 1st March 2023
If the door is out of alignment meaning that if you need to hold the handle up or force it up when trying to lock or unlock your PVC Door, it means the locking mechanism is out of alignment. The Manchester City Centre customer was trying to force the handle up to lock the door and as the multi point locking mechanism was fully engaged the lock was forced causing the cam on the euro cylinder to become jammed inside the gearbox. This is a fairly common issue and can be avoided by having your door locking mechanism and keeps realigned as soon as they start to become difficult to lock and unlock. Once the issue has happened the only solution is to remove the old lock, reset and realign the mechanism and fit a new lock. As a Local, trusted and professional Locksmith company, Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester (City Centre) provide a free quote and assessment on any work you may want carried out.
Does Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester cover Trafford? Stretford, Trafford M16 - 25th February 2023
Yes, Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester works and covers Trafford. We provide Locksmith services to places like Old Trafford, Stretford, Whaley Range, Trafford Park and the Trafford Centre. Were a local Trafford Locksmith Service and can prove Emergency Locksmith services such as; Lock fitting, Lock repairing and other Locksmith related services to Trafford residents and commercial businesses.
Does Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester fit Hinge Bolts? Didsbury, Manchester M20 - 20th February 2023
Yes, Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester does provide Hinge Bolts to both wood and UPVC Doors. Hinge bolts are "Bolts" which are fitted to the inside of the door frame providing security against attempted forced entry by kicking the hinge side of the door. In my experience as a local Manchester Locksmith, I genuinely feel these are more relevant to wooden doors due to them being fixed by Sash locks, Deadbolts and Night latches which can be secure but does leave a weaker spot on the hinge side. But... just to make people the people of Manchester feel safe, even without hinge bolts, a lot of force, strength and noise would be needed to accomplish this. Hinge Bolts are more of an added bonus rather than a necessity to the homes and businesses in Manchester.
Does Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester repair Door Hinges and windows? Didsbury, Manchester M20 - 15th January 2023
Yes, Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester will do minor door hinge repairs and also fix Upvc window handles and mechanisms. In regards to the hinges on doors, we can usually use the hinges themselves to realign the door to stop it hitting the frame at the top or bottom or just to make the door more flush with the frame or other French door. Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester can provide a lock, door or window repair quote free of charge as we have no call out fees however we don't completely remove or fit new hinges. In regards to Window repairs again Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester will provide new pvc handles, and repair the multi point locking mechanism in the window if its broken. If your window itself is very difficult to lock or close we can also provide a realignment of the window mechanism to make it smoother to prevent it becoming damaged or broken which often happens if you need to strain to lock or open. This applies to Doors too.
Does Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester fit Mechanical Digital Locks? Ancoates, Manchester M4 - 2nd January 2023
Yes Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester fit both mechanical and Digital Locks such as the Yale Keyless entry and Ultion Smart Lock. We find many offices and places with high traffic benefit from Mechanical Digital Locks as they provide some security to prevent unwanted visitors but allowing staff easy exit and entry. The mechanical digital locks can be reprogrammed with different codes and we usually advise all out customers in Manchester to change the pin code as a minimum once every 3 months.

"Does Anybody know a cheap Manchester Locksmith Near Me?"
I see this question often on social media and the buy and sell groups and I feel a need to address this! I think the real question should always be "does anybody know a good Manchester Locksmith". Ok let's be honest, nobody wants to pay through the nose for a tradesman (me included). The problem is yes.. you will find a cheap Locksmith but you have to ask, why are they cheap? I was always told growing up in Droylsden "you get what you pay for" which in the majority of times with Tradesmen is true. Just make sure you thoroughly research the company/person first. Check they have the following credentials if they are a professional manchester locksmith:
- * Do they have a Manchester or greater manchester Locksmith website or are they a national company
- * Are the technicians DBS/police checked
- * Do they carry ID
- * Have they got good honest reviews from real manchester residents
- * Are they open and honest about costs upfront
- * Do they really know what they are doing
- * Manchester Locksmith shouldn't charge a call out fee.
Manchester and Greater Manchester Residents be careful with who you let in your door and who you trust with your family's safety and security! Here at Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester, we are happy to show you our ID or DBS on arrival. We wear uniforms and provide a professional service from start to finish! We are upfront with prices and never add hidden costs such as call out fees and Labour after a price has already been discussed. We offer a free no obligation security check at your home and for your locks (we don't sell substandard Locks). Keep safe and for further information give us a call.
"Do Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester charge a call out fee?"
Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester Do NOT CHARGE A CALL OUT FEE as we believe customers in Manchester should only pay a locksmith for work carried out and we will never add extra hidden costs as we like to be up front with all our Domestic and Commercial customers.
"Why do some Manchester Locksmiths advertise £50 For Full Lock Change? Do all Locks cost the Same?"
The first answer in regards to do all locks cost the same is obviously no they do not. If you have a multi point locking mechanism fail in the door its not going to cost the same as replacing 1 Euro cylinder. That's why we provide a free call out service to identify the issue and provide an accurate quote, If a Locksmith company is using prices to advertise their Manchester Locksmith Services without looking at the job or knowing what the problem may be I would personally advise people to be cautious.
"Why are Locksmiths in Manchester so expensive?"
Unfortunately their are many Cowboy Locksmiths, both Locally and nationally who continue to take advantage of the public (and deserve to be on Rogue Traders in my opinion). These cowboy Locksmiths may advertise as "Manchester Locksmiths" who will replace ANY lock for £50 which again, seems to good to be true! Often these companies are not even local but National Locksmith companies and you will get put through to a call centre where you will be told a technician will be with you shortly. The job will then be phoned through to an independent handyman who may be unqualified and may not even speak English. When the so called "local Manchester Locksmith" arrives, they then advise you that they will also be adding on labour cost, call out fee and costs for parts plus the originally quoted price. They will reassure you that this is normal and all Locksmiths would charge the same. As you can imagine the original £50 any lock change quickly turns into anywhere between £250 to possible £800. My advise is to always use a Locksmiths who is Checka-trade vetted, wears uniforms, carry Public liability insurance and have genuine reviews by the public such as Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester. We provide a full quote with no hidden charges and always provide a quality service.
"Do Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester Carry Parts/can the Job be completed quickly?"
Lockforce Locksmiths in Manchester carry a variety of stock including, Sash Locks, Night Latches, Anti snap cylinders, and Door and Window handles of different sizes and colours to repair most Locksmith issues. Most repairs are completed on the first visit and if it is an obsolete lock or unusual type or size we may need to order a specialised replacement which may take 24 hours however we will secure the home or business in the meantime.
"The key just spins but the door wont lock or open"
I get this a lot as it is quite common issue. The key just keeps rotating but the door will not open or lock and it doesn't appear anythings happening. If you have a UPVC or composite door, the probable answer is that the cam on the euro lock is broken but sometimes there are other issues. The solution will be that you will need a new Euro Lock which Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester will provide including 12 months warranty.
"The handle is floppy/loose and the door wont open/lock"
If the handle is just spinning around and you cant lock or open the door, many times my manchester customers advise me that the handle has gone floppy. The possible issue is that the internal Gearbox in the door has broken (not the handles). As a local Locksmith in Manchester I see this problem a lot and is very common. At Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester we see this a lot with UPVC doors especially when they are not aligned properly. A lot of our Manchester customers advise us that before it happened they had resistance when locking (which has weakened the the Gearbox) and they heard a crack. Or alternatively sometimes it's just wear and tear after years of operation. The solution is to strip the Multi Point Locking System out of the door and replace it with the correct model. Their are 100s of types so my advise would be to contact a professional for this such as Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester should you need us or advise 01614100651.
"I want one key to open all my UPVC doors or I want a Manchester Suited System?"
This isn't a lock issue but more and more domestic and commercial manchester homes and businesses want this option. Having your locks keyed alike in your home can make life easier and makes it possible to cut down on the amount of keys you need to carry around for you or your family. A lot of customers in Manchester usually like there back door and side door keyed alike and the front door on a separate key. If your Manchester Business also needs a Master Suited System putting into thier business we also provide this service.
"I cant remove the key from the lock?"
This is another common issue for Locksmiths around Manchester. The problem is usually caused when a key is left in the lock (usually on the inside of the door) and then a partner or kid attempts to use their keys on the other side of the lock. This causes the cam on the lock to becomes twisted. The solution will be to change the door cylinder with the correct sized lock and preferably an anti snap cylinder. For a change and upgrade to your Euro cylinder call Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester on 01614100651.
Is Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester a Local Locksmith?
The answer to this question is very easy... Yes! I am a local Manchester Locksmith as I grew up in Droylsden and I've lived in Manchester all my life apart from the time I served in the Army and I was stationed in Germany. My slogan has always been Keeping Manchester safe and to treat all my customers like friends or family.
Lost my Key, Can I get a mobile Manchester Locksmith to cut me a new one?
If you've lost your key for your Upvc door (Euro Cylinder) or its stopped working, do you have a spare key (which works)? If you do, we can cut a new one for you. If you don't have any key Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester can supply and fit a range of new Anti snap locks depending on what level of security you want. If your door is wooden and you have a sash-lock or Mortise Deadbolt, it is possible to make an impression of your lock and make up a new key but this is only available with new locks BS3621/2007 Insurance Approved Locks.
My window handle just spins but the Window wont Lock or Open, can Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester Help?
This is a common problem with households around Manchester and is mainly with UPVC windows. The issue is sometimes that the spindle becomes detached from the Window mechanism or snaps. A simple remedy is to reattach the spindle or have a new handle fitted. A more serious issue is that the window Mechanism itself and not just the handle has become broken and will need replacing. Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester will supply and fit a new window Mechanism providing 12 months guarantee.

The door had dropped and needed some minor door alignment which I completed and the door was easy to lock and open after I was finished. Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester then dropped some leaflets around Clayton to advise residents to upgrade their locks to Anti-Snap.
Lock Change And Upgrade - Moston, M40 - 10/07/2022

The customers asked about upgrading the lock or having a visual deterrent to stop them even trying to snap the lock. I discussed some high security 2** handles and also some Paltocks which all provide a visual deterrent but, in the end, the Moston customers wanted a new 3*** Ultion fitting as its branded and thieves know to avoid these locks. I then fitted the 3*** Diamond approved high security Euro cylinder.

New Home, Lock Change - Audenshaw, M34 - 09/03/2022
Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester were in Audenshaw in Tameside completing a lock change for a lovely couple after they moved into a new home. I had previously visited and completed a free security assessment of their locks and windows and found that they had standard cylinders on the front and back door and also the cylinder on the back door was the incorrect size and far to large making it easy to a technique called lock snapping for Burglars. I also advised the Audenshaw residents that its always advisable to change the locks when moving into a new home.

The Locks themselves are also patented meaning you have a unique code for your keys and the locks themselves come with a 2k guarantee against Burglary.
New Euro Mortise Deadlock fitted - Audenshaw, M34 - 05/03/2022
Lockforce Locksmiths were in Audenshaw fitting a new Deadlock to a wooden door on a flat as the customer already had a night latch but wanted some added security when they were not home or on holiday. I agreed as the Night latch unless its a British standard is not very secure against attempted burglary and is mainly used to hold the door closed and provide basic protection. A euro Mortise Deadbolt was fitted about waist height to reinforce the door with an anti-snap cylinder Thumb turn. This means the customer can lock and unlock the door without a key from inside but would use a key normally from the outside. Having a quick keyless exit is advised for fire safety and also convenience. Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester always try to treat customers in and around Manchester and Greater Manchester with the same care they would family and friends.
Car Stolen, Burglary - Droylsden, M43 - 25/02/2022
Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester were in Droylsden again following another car theft after gaining entry via lock snapping the euro cylinder in the back patio doors. Why are Cars stolen so much in Manchester? The simple reason is that they make a great getaway vehicle and can be stripped for parts or stuck on a container and shipped overseas and its big money. This customer had an Audi A5 stolen which was his pride and joy and he was understandably devastated. Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester then fitted some high security 1* UPVC Handles which are designed against being gripped and have a protective lid around the euro cylinder. As a local locksmith in Manchester, I continue to encourage all the residents in my local area and when im out to get Anti snap locks as a standard. They could provide such a difference against car theft and Burglary around Manchester and Greater Manchester.
Free Security Assessment Of Home And Locks - Fallowfield, M14 - 24/02/2022
Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester, 0161, attended a home in Fallowfield after the tenants required a local locksmith to provide a security assessment of their home and locks after moving into a new property. I firstly advised weather it's with me or another locksmith they should change the locks as you never know who previously lived here and who still has a key. On finishing the assessment, I advised they needed a British Standard Mortise Deadbolt to be fitted on the wooden front door to accompany the Night latch. The current Deadlock was a 3 Lever which are not British Standard BS3621 and are usually fitted to internal doors. I also advised the back door and kitchen door needed Anti snap locks as the current ones were fitted incorrectly and too long which means they are easily snapped out of the doors. Against my advice the tenants decided to keep the current locks and i left the written report with them. Lockforce Locksmiths in Manchester always try to advise customers in the same way they would give advice to family and friends and I feel this is the most professional and effective way to work with customers around the safety of their homes. Unfortunately, with some people, it's like the old saying, "you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink"
High security Handle Fitted - Crumpsall, Manchester, M8 - 22/02/2022

On arrival which was only 15 inutes away from my house, I checked the current euro cylinders and advised they were 1 Star British Standard UAP locks which are of a good standard. After Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester fitted the new security handles both the front door and back door are now rated 3*** with both the locks and handles.
New Lock Installation In City Centre - Manchester, M4 - 21/02/2022
Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester City Centre were asked by a central Lettings agency to fit a new lock to a flat door as the landlord wanted it more securing. I visited the City Centre flat and as it already had a Night latch fitted I added a Euro Mortise Deadlock with an Anti snap Thumbturn as this meets fire safety advise on Flats or homes with one exit and entry. The idea is that if there was a fire you need to be able to open the door from inside without having to use a key (Keyless exit). The customer was very happy with the new lock and said she felt a lot more safe. I did agree its much safer than just having a simple Night latch on the door as they are basically to secure the door but dont provide much defence against an intruder unless its a High security British Standard Night latch such as the Era Bs3621 Nightlatch.

Ive mentioned this before but as a local Locksmith in MAnchester I see this issue a lot, its usually when keys are left in the door and someone elsein the family tries to enter forcing the lock which twists the cam. I often advise customers if they have many family members coming and going its a good idea to fit a Thumb turn cylinder which prevents this from happening. Lockforce Locksmiths Manchester advise to use Anti snap Thumbturns as a standard but High security is better such as Ultions which provide a 2k guarantee against Burglary
