Lock Repairs

This is one of the biggest services a professional locksmith can provide. Knowing locks inside and out means that on some occasions when a lock stops working or feels like it is jamming in some way, a simple repair can be carried out rather than replacing the entire locking system.

Equipped and ready to tackle any problem lock. We can also help to adjust frames slightly, as a common problem of locks becoming harder to use, can be because the frame in which they sit has been knocked out of sync ever so slightly. This is especially true for UPVC where the plastic can expand and contract as well as twist and warp over time.

The best advice we can provide is not to panic.

Don’t try to force the key and turn it more than it wants to; your key will snap. Also, don’t try lifting the door slightly to align the locks to be able to turn the key, this will lead to faults with the cylinders and even bigger problems when you come to open the door again.

Using our knowledge and tricks of the trade we have picked up over the years, we can repair most locks on the spot and in no time! Causing minimal damage and minimising the disruption to you.

At Wallsend Locksmiths our engineers can help with all broken and faulty locks, problems with the locks cylinder and overall mechanism, or if the key has completely snapped in the lock and is now just sitting there patiently waiting to be removed!

Problems with locks do occur. Unfortunately, like everything locks are not designed to last forever. How can they?! We use them all the time, throughout the day, week, month, and year!

Locks soon become worn, keys can also become worn as a result, and for some locks and depending on how well maintained they have been, they can suffer from rust or corrosion too – making them very hard to manoeuvre and use.

The good news is, we’re always on hand to help!

Installing new locks

In some cases, you may find that the lock is beyond repair and a new replacement lock needs to be installed. In these instances, we can offer you a like for like replacement, or we can provide you with alternative locking solutions.

Maybe there is a new lock on the market which is more suitable to you and the style of door you have?

Would you like to look at increasing the levels of security in your home, so would like stronger more robust locks to be fitted?

Or, if you’re happy with the lock style you currently have, simply replace for new and get a new set of keys to accompany it!

Whatever, your decision, we help install new locks to perfection.
We work quickly and effectively, and we also clear away any mess and debris from the surrounding area.

Specialists in UPVC

UPVC has grown in popularity over the years as it is viewed as providing a more modern look for homes, as well as having a higher level of security.
There is also a range of different styles when it comes to UPVC windows and doors, so customers now have much more of a choice when it comes to renovating their home.

Patio door locks
Sash locks
Bi-folding door locks
Lockable window handles
Anti-snap cylinders
Deadbolts
And much more!

Due to this movement and continuous exertion on the handle, UPVC locks do suffer from more wear and tear over time.

Keys can snap in locks, just turn completely not doing anything, frames can twist and warp causing the locking mechanisms do not line up, dirt can build up inside frames causing doors to jam and stick, cylinders can become worn and break completely….not to scare anyone but the list can go on and on!

However, don’t panic!

UPVC locks are still today one of the strongest locking mechanisms around, and if you do find a problem with your lock, the key is to call Wallsend Locksmiths asap.

Our engineers are specialists in working with UPVC, and we work with manufacturers and suppliers of the doors and windows to identify faults and rectify the problem as quickly and effectively as we can.

From worn handles, misaligned frames, and broken cylinders, we deal and work with it all.

We use the latest equipment and tools to get the job done and have your door operating like new in no time.

If you’re unsure if your lock is just starting to stick or jam, contact us to take a look, don’t let the situation get worse where the lock fails you completely.

Safes

We love safes at Wallsend Locksmiths. Not just because they’re handy and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. But because they help provide homeowners as well as commercial properties additional security to protect their most valuable possessions.

Storing and keeping safe things such as passports and insurance documents, petty cash, valuable IT equipment or jewellery, all of which can be safely stored in safes and tucked away so no one can access them.

However, for safes to be effective, they must be installed, moved, removed, and disposed of appropriately.

It’s also important that you have the right safe for you and one that fully meets your requirements.

This is where Wallsend Locksmiths can help.

Trusted and completely DBS checked and vetted, we work with several safe manufacturers, learning not only about the locking mechanisms which each safe operates but also improving our knowledge about the safe removal and disposal of safes.

Locks on safes come in many different forms, from keys to keypads, to more digitally advanced locks, our qualified engineers can help with them all.
From finding yourself locked out of your safe, a key snapping in the lock, locks becoming damaged or faulty, and even the removal of safes from your premises, contact our team to help you!

You don’t want just any locksmith coming into your home or business and working on your safe! You need an engineer you can rely on, someone who is trusted, trained, and an expert in the area.

Master Key Systems

Master key systems provide a great deal of flexibility to business owners and landlords alike. Offering you a quick and effective way to gain access to all areas when you need to, while restricting or limiting access to others.

For businesses, this allows you a greater element of control, and not because you’re a control freak. But because you can manage who has access to secure and more high-profile areas. Heightening your levels of security and putting your mind at rest that you have taken the right precautions to protect your business.

For property owners and mainly landlords of flats and apartments, operating a master key system is a must. Instead of carrying a huge bunch of keys around with you and trying out each and every one until you find the right one, you can simply have one key that opens all. However, your tenants will only have one key that will only open their property, not everyone else’s.

Master key systems work great in emergencies when police or local authorities might need access to the building or flat for whatever reason. And at Wallsend Locksmiths, we can help to install master key systems appropriate to your situation. Working on the different levels, you require and the different styles and types you would like.

We will also carry out full security checks of your premises, offering the best solutions to help make yours and everyone’s else lives easier.

We also work with landlords and businesses to change locks regularly, so please contact us to find out more about how we can be your contract locksmith.

From Great Grandmaster key systems to Grandmaster and more, we can help install the perfect master key system for you.
