More Information
When Do You Need a New Lock
A lock that sticks, feels loose, or needs a wiggle of the key to turn is usually telling you it needs replacing rather than repairing again. Locks also wear out faster on doors that get used a lot, such as a busy family front door. If your current lock is several years old, does not meet British Standard, or was fitted by the previous owner of your Carlisle property, replacing it is often the safer and more cost effective option in the long run.
British Standard Locks for Peace of Mind
Many home insurance policies require a British Standard lock on external doors, and an outdated lock can cause problems if you ever need to make a claim. We fit British Standard locks that give you genuine peace of mind, not just a lock that turns smoothly. Our team can talk you through the difference between lock ratings in plain English, so you understand exactly what you are getting fitted to your Carlisle home or business.
Matching Your Existing Door
Not every lock replacement needs a brand new door. In most cases we can fit a new lock into your existing door, saving you the cost and disruption of a full door replacement. We carry a wide range of lock cases and cylinders to match different door thicknesses and styles found across Carlisle properties, from older timber doors to modern composite and uPVC doors.
ABOUT US
One of our recent lock replacement jobs was for a family in Harraby, whose front door lock had become so worn that the key barely turned without a struggle. We fitted a new British Standard lock that matched their existing door hardware, finishing the job in under an hour so they were not left waiting around. It is the kind of straightforward, no fuss job that keeps Carlisle families calling us back.
