We've all been there – you’re in a rush to go out, and in a
bid to quickly lock the house up, the key snaps in the lock, or it simply won’t
turn fully to engage the locking mechanism.
Whilst it’s tempting to just go out anyway so that you’re not late for
your appointment, you are putting your home at risk by leaving your home
unsecured.
24 hour emergency
lock repair
So, what’s the best course of action? If the broken lock means that your house is
not fully secure, then you are best advised to stay put, or at least ask a
friend or family member to wait in the house for you until the lock is
fixed. Most reputable locksmiths will
offer a 24 hour emergency lock repair service, so it’s best to find a local
locksmith who will be able to visit your home as soon as they can. Check to see if the locksmith is a member of
the Master Locksmiths Association, as this will ensure that only a fully
qualified, and trusted locksmith will be fixing your door lock.
UPVC lock repairs
In the past, most domestic door locking systems consisted of
either a mortice lock or a Yale lock.
However, as the vast majority of homes are now fitted with UPVC doors
and windows, you will need to ensure that your chosen locksmith is equipped to
deal with UPVC
lock repairs. UPVC doors can provide
greater security for a home than a traditional wooden door, due to its advanced
locking systems. Of course, this can
mean that it is a little trickier to fix any problems, which is why it’s best
to leave any repairs to the professionals.
Jammed door locks
Some door locks become jammed but can be released using
specialist equipment, meaning that the lock may not need to be replaced to
rectify the problem. However in more
serious cases where the lock has become jammed as a result of the door being
severely damaged, then it may be that the whole door will need to be replaced.
Broken keys
If a key becomes broken in the lock, very often the
locksmith will be able to carefully remove the key, freeing the lock so that it
is ready for normal use. They can then
cut a new key at your home - meaning that you do not need to visit a locksmith
store, to have a replacement key cut.
If you are faced with broken UPVC locks in your windows or
doors, get in touch with Advanced Locksmiths as soon as possible.
I didn't know that locksmiths could make keys on-site. That's pretty cool that this service has become so convenient. I always thought you had to go through the hassle of going to a locksmith to get the key. http://www.burnsidelocksmiths.com.au/who-we-are/

ReplyDeleteIt's truth that the locksmith industry has been expanded greatly. And in most cases we usually need help of several locksmiths, not just one. Also when choosing a locksmith or a locksmith company, pay attention to the list of their services and always consult them whether their technicians are competent enough to perform your job.
