Types of Locks and Doors We Work On
We handle a wide variety of locks and doors, making sure your home is well-secured. From traditional wooden doors to modern UPVC ones, how to keep them secure.
Many homes in Tottenham feature classic wooden doors, and we’re experienced in fitting and repairing locks for these. Our expertise extends to UPVC doors, commonly found in newer builds, where we work on multipoint locking systems.
We also handle smart locks, which are becoming more popular for their convenience. These can be a great addition to any modern home, offering control via your smartphone.
For more traditional security, mortice deadlocks are a reliable choice, and we often fit these in period properties. Whether it’s a Victorian terrace or a 1930s house, we’ve got the know-how.
Each type of lock and door requires a different approach, and we’re well-equipped to tackle them all.
Locked Out Right Now?
Typical arrival 30 minutes across N4–N22. Non-destructive entry whenever the lock allows it.
Euro Cylinder Locks
Euro cylinder locks are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their versatility and security. They’re commonly used in doors across North London, offering a reliable way to keep homes safe.
We often recommend them because they fit various types of doors, like UPVC and composite, making them quite adaptable.
These locks come in different security levels, which means you can choose one that suits your needs.
For instance, brands like Ultion Smart and Yale Superior are known for their high resistance to picking and snapping, common burglary techniques.
It’s important to have a lock that resists these methods.
Replacing a euro cylinder is straightforward, which makes maintenance easier.
If you’re considering upgrading, it’s something we can assist with to enhance your home’s security. A quick call to 020 4538 1813 usually saves a trip to the hardware shop.
Mortice Deadlocks
Mortice deadlocks are a solid choice for boosting home security. They’re sturdy and designed to be fitted into the door itself, making them difficult for burglars to tamper with.
We often recommend them for front doors, especially in older homes around Tottenham. The Union 2134 and Yale PM562 are popular options that meet British Standard BS3621, ensuring quality and reliability.
Installing a mortice deadlock involves cutting a pocket, or mortice, into the door edge, so it’s best done by a professional.
These locks work with a key from both sides, adding an extra layer of security. While they might seem simple, their robust design provides effective protection.
We find that combining a mortice deadlock with a night latch can enhance security. It’s always wise to make certain all entry points are secure, and mortice deadlocks play a critical role in this.
Secure doors mean.
UPVC Multipoint Mechanisms
UPVC multipoint mechanisms are a great way to boost the security of modern doors. These locks engage at multiple points along the door’s edge, making it much harder for burglars to force entry. We often see them in new-build apartments and homes, offering a solid layer of protection.
Installing one involves fitting a long strip with hooks, bolts, or rollers that lock into the frame. This setup distributes force if someone tries to break in, keeping your door secure. We can choose from various brands like Mila or Yale Lockmaster, each offering unique features.
Maintaining these mechanisms is straightforward. Regularly lubricating the moving parts ensures smooth operation, avoiding any jams. If you notice any stiffness or difficulty locking, addressing it promptly can prevent bigger issues down the line. By keeping the mechanisms in good condition, we maintain the security they provide, protecting our homes effectively. If you would rather talk it through first, dial 020 4538 1813.

When to Repair vs Replace
How do we decide whether to repair or replace a lock? It often depends on the damage. If a lock’s slightly scratched or sticky, a repair might do the trick. But if it’s completely broken or outdated, replacement could be the smarter choice. We need to weigh the cost, security level, and convenience.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Situation | Action Needed |
|---|---|
| Minor scratches | Repair |
| Key won’t turn | Repair |
| Lock feels loose | Repair |
| Rusty or corroded | Replace |
| Outdated model | Replace |
Repairing a lock can be quicker and cheaper if the damage is minor. However, replacing it ensures better security, especially if it’s an older model. Assessing the situation helps us make a balanced decision. We aim to keep our homes secure without unnecessary hassle. It’s all about finding the best option for our specific needs.
