Vehicle entry →Older Properties and Modern Doors Need Different Approaches
Ongar and the surrounding villages include traditional homes, newer developments, converted properties and commercial premises, so the locks fitted can vary considerably.
Older timber doors may use mortice locks or night latches, while newer uPVC and composite doors often use Euro cylinders and multipoint locking mechanisms.
A difficult key or stiff handle does not always mean the cylinder itself has failed. Door alignment and internal mechanism wear can produce very similar symptoms.
Assess Before Replacing
Andy checks the lock and door fault first before deciding what parts actually need attention.
Non-Destructive Where Practical
Entry methods that avoid unnecessary drilling are preferred wherever the type of lock makes that practical.
20+ Years’ Experience
