Professional Lock Repairs for Homes & Businesses

A faulty lock isn’t just frustrating — it can leave your home or business vulnerable. Whether you’ve got a stiff key, a jammed lock, or a mechanism that just won’t budge, 247 Door Locksmiths has the tools and expertise to fix it fast.


Common Lock Repairs Situations We Solve :

We’ve helped thousands of customers with their urgent locksmith needs, including:

Stuck Door Locks Stuck Door Locks

Locks jammed in either the locked or unlocked position due to debris, rust, or internal damage. If your key turns but the door won’t budge — or worse, your lock won’t move at all — you’re likely dealing with a jammed or stuck lock. This can be caused by rust, internal debris, worn pins, or misalignment in the door frame. Our locksmiths arrive ready to tackle all of these issues with precision tools and deep technical know-how. We’ve repaired thousands of stuck locks across homes and businesses, from old mortice systems in Victorian homes to modern anti-snap Euro cylinders on uPVC doors. If needed, we’ll clean, lubricate, and realign components — and if the issue is more severe, we can replace internal parts or the entire lock on the spot. Don’t force it — let us free it.

Faulty Mechanisms Faulty Mechanisms

Malfunctioning locking systems, including multipoint or mortice locks, causing doors not to lock properly. Mechanisms fail for a number of reasons — worn springs, faulty levers, damaged gearboxes in multipoint locking systems. If your door doesn’t lock smoothly or needs multiple attempts to engage, it’s more than an annoyance — it’s a sign something’s not right. We specialise in diagnosing internal faults without unnecessary replacements. Whether you’re dealing with a mortice sashlock, a uPVC multi-point strip, or even a digital lock with battery failure, our team will open it up and sort it out. With branded replacement parts from Yale, ERA, Chubb, Union, and more, we’ll restore function and security quickly.

Broken Locks Broken Locks

Damaged locks from wear and tear, attempted break-ins, or excessive force. Wear and tear, forced entry, weather damage — over time, any lock can break down. We’ve seen everything from sheared latches to seized cylinders to locks completely destroyed during break-in attempts. If your lock is visibly damaged or simply not working at all, we’ll assess whether it can be repaired or needs replacement. Our goal is always to repair first — saving you money wherever possible — but we won’t compromise on safety. We use industry-grade components, ensure proper fitting, and test everything thoroughly before we leave. From front door mortices to shed padlocks, we’ve got you covered.

UPVC Door Lock Issues UPVC Door Lock Issues

Misaligned or dropped UPVC doors that cause the locking mechanism to fail. uPVC doors are fantastic for insulation and durability — but when they go out of alignment, locks can fail in frustrating ways. A dropped door can strain the multi-point mechanism, leaving you unable to fully close or lock the door. Our team is trained in realigning uPVC doors, adjusting hinges, re-setting lock strips, and replacing failed gearboxes or barrels. Many homeowners think they need an entirely new door when really, it’s a minor fix — and we’re here to deliver it quickly and affordably. If your handle’s gone floppy or the key won’t engage, give us a call.

Digital & Smart Lock Repairs Digital & Smart Lock Repairs

Digital and smart locks offer cutting-edge convenience, but when they fail, the results can be just as frustrating — or even leave you locked out. Whether it’s a keypad that’s stopped responding, a drained battery pack, or a glitch in the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi system, our locksmiths are trained in diagnosing and repairing modern access systems. We work with leading smart lock brands including Yale Smart Living, Ultion Smart, Nuki, and August. If the issue can’t be repaired on-site, we’ll install a secure manual override or replacement system — keeping you protected without compromising tech functionality.

Frozen Locks in Winter Frozen Locks in Winter

Extreme cold can cause metal components inside your lock to seize or even freeze solid. This is particularly common with external garage doors, gates, and older mortice locks in exposed entryways. We provide seasonal lock repair services to safely defrost and restore frozen locks — without using excessive force or harmful chemicals. We’ll also apply specialist lubricants and weatherproofing to prevent reoccurrence and extend the life of the lock through the colder months.

Internal Lock Malfunctions Internal Lock Malfunctions

Sometimes the issue isn’t visible from the outside. Springs snap, levers break, or internal tumblers get worn out — leaving the lock unreliable or completely non-functional. These faults are particularly common in older locks or budget models that haven’t been serviced in years. Our locksmiths dismantle and inspect internal components on-site, often replacing just what’s needed to get the mechanism working like new. We carry internal repair kits for major lock types and brands, meaning we can usually repair even complex internal faults in a single visit.

Huge credit to Door Locksmiths. I locked myself out and called them for help. A very friendly and professional guy called Peter turned up promptly. He explained everything to me in advance, advised of the cost and replaced my lock accordingly. The whole service was much more reasonable than quoted with some other locksmith companies. I strongly recommend Peter and The Door Locksmiths.
