ERA Centurion mortice sashlock fitted into the edge of a timber front door, with the kitemark and BS3621 stamped on the faceplate and the lever key alongside — BS3621 mortice lock on a timber door
An ERA Centurion sashlock fitted to a timber front door. The kitemark and the BS3621 number are stamped into the faceplate — that marking is the only reliable way to tell whether a lock meets the standard many insurers ask for.

Gloved hand holding a multipoint locking strip removed from a uPVC door, showing the hook bolts, the euro cylinder cut-out and the square spindle hole — A multipoint mechanism out of the door
The strip that runs the full height of a uPVC door, out and on the pavement. The hooks, the cylinder cut-out and the square spindle hole are all visible — and because the gearbox is not separately serviceable on most designs, the whole strip is replaced as a unit.
Multipoint lock repair

Mechanical push-button keypad lock being fitted to a green painted timber door in a commercial premises, with the engineer’s gloved hand on the handle — Push-button code lock on a commercial door
A mechanical code lock on a commercial door — no keys to issue, no keys to lose when staff leave, and the code changed in a couple of minutes. The old keep has been removed from the frame ready for the new one.
Commercial locksmith

Aluminium and glass commercial entrance door standing open at a business unit, showing the two euro cylinders at the top and bottom hook locks and a stainless pull handle — Commercial entrance door
An aluminium shopfront-style entrance on a business unit. Doors like this carry two separate locking points, top and bottom, so a cylinder change means two cylinders keyed alike rather than one.
Commercial locksmith

Chrome lever handle and euro cylinder fitted to a grey composite front door with a leaded glass panel, with the new keys left in the lock — Composite door handle and cylinder
A grey composite front door with a new chrome handle set and cylinder, keys left in the lock for the customer. The cylinder sits flush with the handle plate, which is the detail that matters: a cylinder standing proud is what lock snapping relies on.

Eurospec easi-T mortice sashlock installed in the edge of a timber door, latch and deadbolt visible on the faceplate, with lever handles on both sides and the key in the lock — Mortice sashlock fitted into a timber door
A Eurospec easi-T sashlock going into a timber door. The pale timber around the faceplate is where the mortice was cut and the keep repositioned — old doors are rarely square, and a bolt that only part-engages resists very little.
Mortice locks and deadlocks

Edge of a uPVC door showing the multipoint faceplate with a hook bolt and roller cam, a gold lever handle, and a euro cylinder with a thumbturn on the inside — Thumbturn cylinder on a uPVC door
A thumbturn cylinder: key on the outside, a turn knob on the inside, so nobody needs to find a key to get out. The right choice on most final-exit doors, and the wrong one next to a glazed panel someone could reach through.
Lock replacement

White uPVC front door with a gold handle set and a newly fitted euro cylinder, keys in the lock, with the multipoint keeps visible down the frame — uPVC door cylinder and keeps
A new cylinder on a white uPVC door, with the keeps down the frame in shot. Those keeps are where the hooks have to land; if the door has dropped even a few millimetres they catch instead, and that is an alignment job rather than a lock one.
Lock replacement

uPVC front door open at night showing the full multipoint strip down the door edge with its hook bolts, chrome lever handles and a thumbturn cylinder — Multipoint hooks on a uPVC door
The full locking strip on a uPVC front door, photographed on an evening call-out. Several hooks and bolts throw at once when the handle is lifted — which is why a single failed gearbox takes the whole door out of action.
Multipoint lock repair

Edge of a white uPVC communal entrance door showing the multipoint faceplate and roller cam, a gold handle and a newly fitted euro cylinder with its keys attached — New cylinder on a communal door
A new cylinder on a communal entrance. On a shared door the question before the work is whose door it is: the freeholder or the managing agent normally has to authorise a change, not one resident.
Lock replacement

Stainless escutcheon and euro cylinder fitted to a grey composite door seen from inside, with new keys in the lock and a stainless bar handle alongside — Euro cylinder on a composite door
Seen from the inside: a new cylinder and escutcheon on a composite door, keys handed over. The toolbag on the mat is the end of the job, not the start of a sales conversation about a new door.
Lock replacement

Grey back door with a gold lever handle and a newly fitted euro cylinder with keys, looking out onto a paved patio — Back door cylinder replacement
A back door cylinder changed. Back doors are the ones people forget: they are often the older lock on the property, and they are the ones that seize because they are opened least.
