Why Choose Us?

Put down the superglue.

Most homeowners we speak to have already tried a bit of 'DIY' before they call us. We've seen it all—people trying to fish bits out with tweezers or, worse, attempting to glue the key back together inside the lock. Please, don't try it! More often than not, this just pushes the metal fragment deeper or ruins the internal pins with glue, turning a simple extraction into a much more expensive lock replacement. Our team uses professional extraction hooks and spirals to gently pull that fragment out without causing any damage to your door or the lock itself. It's a non-destructive method that keeps your costs down and your door intact.

Why did my key snap?

Keys don't usually break without a warning sign. Often, especially with the uPVC doors we see around County Durham, the multi-point locking mechanism has become stiff or misaligned. You might find yourself having to 'heave' the handle up to lock it, which puts immense pressure on the key. Over time, the metal fatigues until it finally gives way at the shear line. When we come out to extract your key, we don't just pull the metal out; we'll also check your door's alignment. If the lock needs a service or the mechanism needs a little tweak, we can handle that right there and then to stop it from happening again.
