Home Lock Repair and Replacement
Our locksmiths repair residential locks wherever possible and will only replace them if they are properly damaged. Keys which have started to stick, doors that no longer unlock and handles that spin uselessly, before we spend your money, we’ll usually find a readily apparent reason for their behaviour. We always examine both the lock and the door, because locks commonly get blamed for faults with dropped doors.
We find dropped uPVC doors more often in the estates in places like Fitton Hill and Limeside and older, shifted doorframes in the stone-built cottages in places like Uppermill, Delph or Dobcross.
We’d recommend a lock change if you lost your keys somewhere public or they’ve been taken as part of a break-in. But if it’s only a spare and you mislaid it within your own property then it may not be necessary.
Have you just bought a new house? Then there are almost certainly keys out there belonging to ex-owners, possibly to estate agents or tradespeople. A new set of locks on moving day puts that to rights for good – whether your dream property’s an interwar semi in Royton or Shaw, a terrace by the Freehold tram stop on Block Lane, whatever. Landlords and tenants may sometimes choose to have locks re-keyed between tenants: existing keys are invalidated, but there’s no need to change locks altogether.
Home Lockout Help and Security Upgrades
Locked Out Of House? Call 0161 7110327 at any hour and our on-call locksmith will be with you within 15 to 40 minutes.
Our locksmith service is based on Ashton Road from which our locksmiths can get to Failsworth via Oldham Road, Chadderton via the A663 Broadway, Hollinwood via Jct 22 off the M60 and Lees and Saddleworth via the A62 Huddersfield Road.
If you are looking for a locksmith for security improvements to your door locks then our locksmiths are happy to advise you on any improvements. Sometimes insurers will recommend higher-rated locks on older doors; in this respect we fit BS3621 mortice locks and TS007 3 Star anti-snap euro cylinders that would achieve this higher insurance rating. For low-risk doors a standard rim cylinder lock will do just fine. Where applicable we will always attempt to gain non-destructive entry to front doors, patio doors, garage side doors, etc. Subject to locks fitted, we will explain before we start if drilling is necessary (always a last resort). We will always let you know if no improvement to your door locks is required.
What to Expect When You Call and What It Costs in Oldham
When you call, we’ll ask about the nature of the problem with your lock on the telephone. We’ll confirm your address, let you know who’s technician to attend and give you an estimated time of arrival. We’ll also confirm the exact price for the job over the phone before we dispatch a locksmith.
On arrival your local locksmith will be wearing a company uniform and have a company ID. They’ll inspect your lock and door and give you a firm and itemised quote for the job. We’ll only commence the repair or unlock the door once you’re happy with our quote. All jobs are guaranteed for 12 months.
