Which Lock Symptoms Do We Fix?

At Mitchell's Locksmiths, we know how frustrating lock issues can be. Our team is ready to tackle a variety of common problems and restore your door to full working order.

Whether it's a stubborn lock or a door that just won't cooperate, we've got you covered. Here are some symptoms we frequently repair:

  • Stiff or sticking euro cylinder: A common issue that can lead to more serious problems if not addressed promptly.
  • Door not locking without lifting the handle: Often due to a worn multipoint gearbox, especially in retrofitted doors.
  • Dropped UPVC/composite door: Can cause misalignment, making your door difficult to secure.
  • Spinning thumbturn: Leaves your lock ineffective, requiring immediate attention.
  • Key turns but bolts don't throw: Frustrating and potentially insecure, this issue is common in older installations.

We're providing reliable solutions for all your lock concerns.

Repair or Replace — How Do We Decide?

When faced with lock issues, deciding whether to repair or replace can be vital. We know each situation carefully, ensuring we make the right call for your security and budget. If the mechanism is sound, we might just realign or re-gear it. This approach saves time and money while keeping everything running smoothly.

However, if we find the cylinder or gearbox worn or downgraded, we'll recommend a replacement. It's essential to restore locks to the BS3621 or TS007 3-Star insurance specifications. We appreciate the importance of maintaining high security standards.

Our promise is honest advice: we won't push for a full mechanism replacement if a simple cylinder or keep adjustment can do the job. You can rely on us to provide a transparent, fixed quote with no hidden fees—ensuring your locks are in top condition without unnecessary costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair a UPVC multipoint lock rather than replacing it?

In many cases yes — if the gearbox is the issue we stock common Mila and GU Ferco units for a same-visit swap. If the full mechanism is damaged, we'll advise on replacement and quote before starting.

How do I know if my lock needs a repair or full replacement?

If the door opens but the key feels stiff, or the handle doesn't fully engage the hooks, repair is usually possible. If the gearbox has sheared, a replacement is quicker and more reliable. We diagnose on arrival.

Do you charge a callout fee?

No callout fee, no diagnostic charge. Fixed quote before we start.

How long does a lock repair take?

A night-latch spring or cylinder swap is quick; a multipoint gearbox change takes a bit longer. We carry parts for most common North London fittings in the van.

Are your repairs guaranteed?

Yes — all repair work carries a workmanship guarantee. If the same fault recurs within the guarantee period, we return at no extra charge. Public liability cover; certificate on request.
