WhatsApp Andy a picture of the lock, handles or edge of the door where practical. It can sometimes help identify the type of hardware involved and make the initial conversation more useful.
Different Doors Need Different Solutions
Sawbridgeworth has a varied mix of older homes, converted properties, newer developments and commercial premises. The locks fitted to those properties can be very different, from traditional mortice locks and night latches to Euro cylinders and modern multipoint mechanisms.
A door that is becoming difficult to lock does not automatically need a new cylinder. On a uPVC or composite door, the real problem may be alignment, worn handles or a failing gearbox inside the multipoint mechanism.
Older timber doors can present a different type of fault entirely, particularly where locks and door hardware have been fitted or replaced at different times over the years.
Repair What Needs Repairing
More than 20 years of hands-on locksmith work means Andy regularly deals with faults where the first obvious part is not necessarily the part causing the problem.
Preserve the Existing Lock Where Possible
Non-destructive techniques are considered wherever practical before destructive entry or unnecessary lock replacement.
Check the Complete Door
Handles, cylinders, hinges, keeps, alignment and internal mechanisms can all affect how a door locks and unlocks.
Explain the Options Clearly
Once the problem has been identified, Andy can explain the sensible repair or replacement options before additional work is carried out.
Call Andy Directly
Your call is not passed between a booking agent and an unknown contractor. You speak directly with Andy, who can discuss the problem and then attend the locksmith job.
Where useful, send a photograph on WhatsApp. A clear picture of the lock or door hardware can sometimes help identify what may be involved before attendance.
