Lock Repair in Kingston & South-West London
Sticking, stiff or broken locks fixed on the spot — often cheaper than a full replacement.

Lock Repair FAQs
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my lock?+
It depends on the fault. Worn mechanisms and misaligned doors can often be repaired at a lower cost than a full replacement — we'll assess it on site and give you both options.
Can you remove a key that's snapped in the lock?+
Yes, key extraction is one of our most common repair call-outs, and in most cases the lock itself doesn't need to be replaced afterwards.
Why does my lock feel stiff even though the key is fine?+
This is usually down to a worn or dirty mechanism, or the door frame settling slightly out of alignment — both are straightforward to diagnose and fix on site.
