If you’re suffering from a stiff door lock or a tight lock mechanism, there are some common signs that you’ll notice:

If you don’t know what is causing the issue, call a trained locksmith to provide a quick fix and clear out any debris buildup that is preventing the internal parts from working.

It can be frustrating when a door won’t open because of a stiff lock in West London, and it could be any one of the following problems:

• Internal component failure from springs and levers

• Excessive use of the lock has caused wear and tear

• The key barrel has become loose and is not aligned

• There is too much friction, and the lock has seized

• The bolt and latch are misaligned with the strike plate

• Hot or cold weather has caused problems with the door frame or lock

• You are trying to lock and unlock the door with a poorly cut key

• There’s debris or dust inside the cylinder, preventing it from turning.

Whatever your issue is, we’ll conduct a full inspection of your locking mechanism and install a new lock on your door if needed.

Getting a stiff lock repaired is essential, as if it cannot stay in the locked position or open position, the security of your home is compromised.

You could shut the door one day to go to work, and it won’t open again, leaving you locked out. If the lock is worn, then you could end up getting the key stuck inside, or even worse, snapping inside your uPVC door.

When a stiff lock isn’t addressed properly in time, the whole lock can fail or seize, and you’ll need to install a new lock and lock cylinder to replace it. Most likely, that’s too late for a lock repair.

If you need a quick and safe fix for a stiff door lock, W Locksmith London can take care of any lock problems with our 24/7 service.

We provide same-day services to get your lock back in good working order and offer a safe, reliable solution to a sticky lock rather than a costly DIY fix you attempt yourself.
