Help! How do I Replace My Damaged Locks?
Do you need to repair or replace your locks for better security or moving into a new home? Our expert local locksmiths in Leeds can be with you in under an hour to repair or install high-security locks.
Are Your Locks Causing You a Headache?
There is nothing more important in our lives than the sense that our homes are safe places. Nobody should ever be able to take away your sense of safety when you are at home, but as we all know, this can happen. Locks can fail over time, while older lock types can be damaged by criminals looking to break into your property in Leeds.
Whether your locks have been damaged or no longer work as they once did, we can repair or replace your locks. What are the main reasons for needing this service?
Wear and Tear
It is important to remember that mechanical locks are like any other device; they have working parts that are continually working in partnership with one another. All it takes is one part to fail, to break or to be misaligned, and you could find that your locks simply stop working as they should.
Lost or Stolen Keys
Keys can regularly get lost, too, which necessitates the need for locks to be re-keyed. There is always the fear that your old keys could be used to open your doors without permission, so replacing lost keys with new locks and keys is recommended.
Damaged Locks
Locks might also be part of the collateral damage during a vandalism spree or a break-in attempt on your home in Leeds. Most criminals will try to pick a lock or, if needed, physically damage it using various methods.
Aged Locks
Time moves quickly, and it does not take long for a set of locks to become outdated. We make sure that any locks you have are British Standards 3621 (BS3621) accredited, making sure they offer genuine protection against acts like lock snapping and bumping.
Misplaced Keys
One of the most common problems with locks is simply not having the keys to open the door anymore. When your keys cannot be found, you risk having someone access and being unable to get access yourself. If you cannot find the keys in short order, call our expert team of Locksmiths and we will replace the locks and provide new keys – it’s better to be safe than sorry!
Lock Jamming
Your locks could also simply be jammed up with dirt, debris, or something that has gotten lodged in the gap – even a small coin could do this in the right circumstance. Sometimes, all your locks need is a quick clean-out by our team!
Key Snapping
In a more extreme situation, your keys could literally snap within the lock as you go to turn your key. That happens more often than you would think, leaving with a lock that is now blocked up by the remnants of your old key. We can remove this broken key for you.
Post Moving House
If you are moving into a property for the first time, it would be wise to have your locks replaced ASAP. You never know who has a spare key for that property, even if the seller swears you have every key copy provided during the handover. Replacing your locks removes any fears about this.

How to Solve Your Lock Problems
In our experience, locks can be quickly repaired by simply providing maintenance to get rid of debris or by changing or two of the modules within the locks. Sometimes, though, we might need to replace the entire lock mechanism. Over the years, we have delivered a host of locksmithing services including:
Lock Maintenance
We can maintain your locks for you, cleaning them out and getting rid of any debris that might be clogging up the lock. Sometimes, this is all your locks need to restore them to 100% functionality and just like new.
Having Locks Replaced
Many times, we find that the best thing we can do is replace part of a lock or the whole lock, depending on the situation we find ourselves in. We can replace your older locks or broken locks with new, high-quality, British Standards-compliant locks that provide you with a greater sense of protection.
Repairing or Realigning Locks
Locks can also become damaged through all manner of reasons, not least physical damage or an accidental impact to your door. We can repair the damage done by repairing broken parts or making sure that the locks are fully aligned.
Upgrading to Smart Locks
Sometimes, we recommend that you upgrade to a more modern lock system in the form of smart locks. Smart locks in Leeds are increasingly popular and provide a great way to do away with the need for keys to lock and unlock your doors.
