Common Lock Problems We Repair
Key Won’t Turn in the Lock
If your key is difficult to turn or won't operate the lock correctly, we can inspect the lock and identify the cause of the problem.
Stiff or Jammed Locks
A lock that has become stiff or jammed can eventually fail completely. We can assess the fault and repair the lock where possible..
Loose or Damaged Locks
Loose fittings, damaged components and worn locks can affect both security and everyday operation. We can repair or replace affected parts where required.
Door Won’t Lock Properly
If your door won't lock or the lock isn't engaging correctly, we can check the lock, alignment and locking mechanism to determine what's causing the problem.
Repair or Replace – What Does Your Lock Need?
Not every faulty lock needs replacing. Imperial Locks will assess the problem first and determine whether a repair is practical or whether replacing the lock would provide a more reliable solution.
Lock Adjustment
Sometimes the lock itself isn't broken. Door movement or misalignment can prevent the lock from engaging correctly. We can assess the door and locking points and make adjustments where appropriate.
Lock Mechanism Repair
Worn or faulty internal components can cause locks to become stiff, jammed or stop operating correctly. Where practical, we can repair or replace the affected components without replacing the entire locking system.
When Replacement Is Better
If a lock is badly damaged, excessively worn or cannot be repaired reliably, we'll explain the available replacement options before carrying out any work.
