Droylsden Lock Repair and Upgrade

Do you need a Droylsden lock repair, lock replacement or upgrade? As the saying goes, "Nothing lasts forever" especially with locks as they see a lot of action throughout their lifetime depending on the amount of traffic a household has.

Where possible as a professional Locksmith we will always try to repair the lock however if it has broken or if you simply want it upgrading to an Anti snap cylinder for example we can provide different levels of security such as;
•    Standard Ant Snap Cylinders
•    1* British Standard Anti Snap Cylinders

Other reasons that you may want to replace the locks are that you may have moved into a new home or are renting a new house or flat. At Lockforce Locksmiths Droylsden we always recommend changing the locks in these circumstances as you don't know who may have kept a key from a previous tenancy and its better for piece of mind. We’re also fully trained to fit window locks, door locks, childproof locks, and countless others.

Common Lock Problems

As a Local Locksmith in Droylsden and Manchester we get a lot of similar issues and questions when customers contact us so we find by listing some of the common lock issues we get on a day to day basis it may help the customer identify or answer the problem.

My Key is Turning But Nothing Happens? This can happen with both Euro Cylinders and Mortise Deadbolts. When customers have this issue with Euro Cylinders it is usually because the cam is faulty or has become loose so is not engaging with the multi point locking mechanism. This is usually fixed by replacing the Euro cylinder and at Lockforce Locksmiths Droylsden we advise to use Anti snap cylinders as a standard. If its a sash lock or Mortise Deadbolt and the key is just turning it is usually because the mechanism has come loose and its not engaging with the levers inside. Again this could possibly be repaired but on most occasions Id advise to replace the lock.

Do Lockforce Locksmiths Droylsden Charge a Call Out Fee? No, Lockforce Locksmiths Droylsden never charge a call out fee and only charge customers for work completed. We also always provide a full quote before commencing any work and never add extra charges on such as labour. If a locksmith tries to charge you a call out fee or labour charges your best avoiding these companies.

My door is Hard to Lock can a Droylsden Locksmith help? This is a common issue I get however most people leave it to late until they force the handle one to many times and it breaks the gearbox (Multi point locking mechanism).

The symptoms are the upvc door is usually hard to lift up the handle (Sometimes having to hold the handle to lock the door) or difficult when opening and you need to use force to push the handle down. The cause is usually the Multi point locking mechanism is out of alignment with the frame and reeds realigning. Lockforce Locksmiths Droylsden usually do alignments when fitting new Anti snap locks

The handle is loose and the door wont open on My UPVC Door? This usually follows on from the above issue. The customer has usually forced the handle up or down and heard a cracking sound and the handle has now gone limp/loose. This is usually because the gearbox has broken and depending on the mechanism either the gearbox or the full MPL will need replacing.

Lockforce Locksmiths Droylsden have emergency overnight locks on the van and also carry gearboxes as were a mobile Locksmith so any issues or advise give us a ring

Door Lock Identification in Droylsden

Lockforce Locksmiths Droylsden speak daily with customer in Droylsden, Tameside and Manchester and as this is our full time job sometimes we forget that not everyone knows the names of common locks or sometimes gets them confused so below we though we would add some photos and common lock descriptions to help customers identify their lock;

Euro Cylinders In Droylsden
As a local Droylsden Locksmith I find euro cylinders as on of the most common cylinders in Manchester, Tameside and Greater Manchester. The Euro cylinder is usually a key and key or a key and Thumb turn (which are fitted to flats). They are typically fitted into UPVC and composite doors and the majority of cylinders are prone to a technique burglars use called Lock-snapping. This can be avoided by using Anti snap locks.

 
Mortise Locks In Droylsden
Mortise/Mortice Locks are found mostly in wooden doors and on some mettle doors and containers. They typically consist of a single bolt that extends from the middle of the door into the door frame. This is an old style of lock as its effective and what makes it easy to identify is that the mortise is fitted internally to the wooden door and the keyhole is hidden unlike the euro cylinder which is visible. Mortise Locks can come in 2, 3 and 5 Lever variations and if you have one fitted to your Front and Back doors they should be British Standard for insurance purposes. 

 
Night Latch - Yale Lock In Droylsden
Another common Lock I see around Droylsden, and almost always fitted to wooden doors is the Night latch. This lock is commonly refereed to as a "Yale Lock" however that is the brand and not the actual locks name. On the inside of the door will be the casing which usually has a quick release handle and snib to hold the latch back or lock it into place. On the outside of the door is a round faceplate like a clock where you insert the key. The front section of the Night-latch can also come in a British Standard High Security Version of the Night Latch.
The most common types of Night-latches;
* Double Locking Night Latch
* Auto Deadlocking Night Latch
* Deadlocking Night latch
* standard Night latch (none-deadlocking)

How Safe Are pvc Doors?

As a Locksmith in Droylsden Tameside I often conduct free security assessments of people's homes, looking at easy access points for would be thieves and Burglars.

A lot of the people I speak with often believe having a composite or PVC door provides a good level of protection. The reality is that the doors have Multi point locking mechanism which are very secure however the locks (Euro Cylinders) are the weak spot on the door, and if you have a standard lock fitted, they can be removed from the door using a technique called Lock-Snapping. Once the lock has been snapped from your door the thieves can open the door and gain entry within 20 seconds, and its usually not that loud. As a local Locksmith in Droylsden and Tameside I've visited many homes after the locks have been snapped and usually the cars have been stollen.

There is an easy way to prevent this, by having Anti-Snap locks fitted to all the external doors on your home or business by a professional Locksmith. The Anti-snap locks strengthen the weak spot on the PVC and composite doors making gaining entry incredibly hard and meaning in the majority of times the Burglars will try an easier target.

Moving Home In Droylsden Or Renting a New Property

At Lockforce Locksmith Droylsden we often are asked to change the locks of new homeowners, usually on the day they move into the new home. New Homeowners want to have piece of mind that they are the only people with access to their home.

Lockforce Locksmith Droylsden not only advise New homeowners to change the locks but also when renting a new flat or moving into a new business. The main issue is that due to possible traffic through rented properties its impossible to keep track of who may still have keys, even after new tenants move in.

When buying your new home or renting your new flat, apart from changing the locks, its also advisable to make sure your locks meet the home insurance requirements such as being British standard or having window handles that Lock. 

You can often find the full list of requirements to meet home content insurance in your policy booklets. Lockforce Locksmith Droylsden can provide a free security assessment of your property and also a free quote for upgrading or changing your locks to meet the insurance requirements.

Broken Gearbox Or Multi Point Locking Mechanism in Droylsden

In winter, multi-point locking mechanisms may face challenges due to extreme temperatures and environmental factors. Cold weather can cause metal components to contract, leading to increased friction and stress within the locking system.

This heightened resistance can result in wear and tear, making the mechanism more prone to breakage. Moisture and ice accumulation further contribute to operational issues. 

To prevent these problems, it is crucial to implement regular maintenance and proper care, including lubrication and weatherproofing. Another major issue in both the summer and winter is the mechanism being out of alignment with the keeps on the door frame. This is usually identified by difficulty pushing the handle up, the resistance against the mechanism makes locking difficult and pressure may be needed to force the handle up. A quick realignment is only needed at this point!

By addressing these concerns above, one can enhance the resilience of multi-point locking mechanisms during winter, ensuring optimal functionality and minimizing the risk of breakage or failure in cold weather conditions.

To realign your Multi Point locking mechanism and avoid broken gearboxes call Damon at Lockforce Locksmith Droylsden

I explained the different types of security lock and ratings such as Diamond secured, TS007 and Standard Anti Snap locks. The Fairfield resident eventually requested a 3*** high security Ultion fitting to both the front and back door. I noticed the back door was also very stiff to locks you needed to really lift the handle to make it close properly, which the homeowner advised has been like that for about 2 years. I then realigned the back door so it was easier to lock and unlock and advised her that the door had just dropped a few millimetres however sometimes that's enough to cause UPVC doors to become out of alignment between the locks and keeps in the door frame. Lockforce Locksmiths Droylsden didn't charge any additional fees for this service and the customer was happy with the added bonus of an easy door to open and lock for her little Furry friend.

New Gearbox Fitted in Droylsden, M43 - 21/05/2022

Lockforce Locksmiths Droylsden had a call after the customers front door failed to open on Sunnyside Road (Droylsden, Manchester). They wanted a local Tameside Locksmith and as we are based in the area so we got the call and were at the property within 20 minutes. The door gearbox had failed which had the typical signs such as the door handle was loose and when lifting it up or pushing it down there was no resistance. The key would turn in the euro cylinder and you can hear the lock locking and unlocking but the multi point locking mechanism is still engaged so the door won't open. We then used none destructive techniques which any decent locksmith should use to get entry without causing issues to the door or damage. Once the composite door was opened on the Droylsden home the MPL unit was removed and inspected. The gearbox had broken however this was a full unit so the full Multi Point Locking mechanism had to be replaced. This was done on site and a new Anti-snap lock was also fitted for the Droylsden home. The Composite door was also realigned to make the locking and opening smoother and to reduce the risk of pressure on the new gearbox and to give it a longer life.
