LOCK REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
If you have lost the keys to your house or to your vehicle, you can rely on us. Our expert locksmiths can replace the locks of your home, garage, shed, cabinet, locker and vehicle.
Whatever your reason for needing to change your locks we are able to take the challenge. You may wish to change a communal door lock to a thumb turner to allow for a quicker escape in the event of a fire. Or you might be an estate agent looking to do a lock rotation between the flat. Perhaps you just bought a new home and looking to change all exterior doors with brand new locks. This is highly recommended as you don’t want previous tenants or estate agents to have a copy for your house keys.
KEY CUTTING
Precision key cutting when you need it most! Using the latest state-of-the-art key cutting machines, our professional key cutters and locksmith team can cut from a vast range of high quality key blanks while you wait.
We cut keys for front and back doors, windows, garages, sheds, padlocks, safes and vehicles.
We also carry a wide variety of Key Labels, Key Rings and Fobs to help you quickly identify specific keys.
Duplicating keys and cutting keys to number can be carried out immediately in most cases.
Our expert locksmiths can also cut keys to locks where all keys are lost.
Front Door Lock Repair for Common Door Issues
A faulty front door lock doesn’t always mean you need a new lock. A worn cylinder, stiff mechanism, loose door handle or poorly aligned door can all make a lock difficult to use. Our front door lock repair service can help with:
- keys that stick, turn badly or will not operate the lock;
- loose or stiff door handles;
- worn euro cylinder locks, rim locks and night latches;
- failed locking mechanisms on uPVC doors and composite doors;
- damage following a break-in or attempted entry;
- lost keys, broken keys or old locks that no longer feel secure.
If your key suddenly becomes stiff, avoid forcing it. A key snapping inside the cylinder is often harder to fix than a simple stuck key or chamber.
Should I Repair or Replace a Faulty Lock?
When it comes to choosing between repair and replacement, the right option depends on what has failed.
A stiff key, loose handle or minor alignment problem may only need adjustment or repair. Replacing a badly damaged cylinder, worn locking mechanism or outdated lock may prevent issues from re-occuring and provide better value for money in the long term. Replacement may also make sense if:
- old keys are missing or unaccounted for;
- the lock has been damaged during a break-in;
- your existing hardware no longer provides suitable protection;
- you want to improve security;
- the lock does not meet relevant insurance requirements.
Appleyard Locksmiths can inspect the lock and explain the options before work goes ahead.
What Locks and Door Fittings Can We Repair in Middlesbrough?
We work with a wide range of locks and door fittings in Middlesbrough, including hardware fitted to timber, uPVC and composite doors.
Depending on the fault, we can repair or replace euro cylinders, multipoint locking mechanisms, rim locks, night latches, door handles and suitable smart locks. We can also help with locks fitted to windows, garages, sheds, lockers and filing cabinets.
If a lock replacement means you need a new key or additional copies, our key cutting service in Middlesbrough can provide spares for many common lock types.
When Is Locksmith Rekeying the Right Choice?
Locksmith rekeying changes which key operates an existing lock, allowing old keys to stop working without necessarily replacing all of the hardware.
It can be useful if you have recently moved house, changed tenants or need tighter control over who can access a property. Depending on the type of lock, it may also be possible to arrange selected locks to work with the same key.
Not every lock is suited to rekeying. In some cases, replacing the cylinder is the simpler or more cost-effective option. We can check the existing hardware and advise whether rekeying, repair or replacement makes most sense.
Need an Emergency Locksmith for a Broken Lock?
A failed lock can quickly become urgent if you cannot get into your house or cannot secure the door behind you.
Our 24-hour emergency locksmith service can help with emergency lockouts, lost keys, break-in damage and locks that have suddenly stopped working. We aim to provide a fast response and use non-destructive entry where possible.
Appleyard Locksmiths does not charge a call-out fee, helping you avoid unnecessary hidden costs. Locksmith prices depend on the fault, the hardware required and whether the job involves repair, rekeying or replacement. We can assess the problem and explain the likely cost before carrying out the work.
