Why Choose Us?

Why keys snap in Wolsingham doors

Most of the time, it’s not just a case of bad luck or a weak key. As our local weather does its thing, uPVC doors can drop slightly, or the multi-point locking system can become stiff and dry. When this happens, you find yourself putting more and more pressure on the key just to get the door to lock. Eventually, the metal gives way at its weakest point—right at the shear line. Whether it's a modern Euro cylinder or a traditional mortice lock on a cottage, we don't just pull the fragment out; we’ll investigate why it happened. If your door is 'binding' or the handle feels heavy, we can realign things to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Who We Are

Please avoid the superglue trick

It’s incredibly tempting to try and fish the bit of key out yourself with a pair of tweezers or, as some internet forums suggest, a dab of superglue on the end of the broken half. Most homeowners we speak to tell us they thought about it, but honestly? It almost always makes things worse. Poking at the fragment usually pushes it further into the mechanism, making it much harder for a professional to reach. If you get glue inside the barrel, you’ve almost certainly ruined the lock. Just leave it exactly as it is and give us a ring on 0191 743 2410. We use specialist extraction hooks and spirals that 'grab' the fragment without causing any damage.
