Frequently Asked Questions About Lock Fitting Services

Here are some common questions I get asked by Patcham customers:

Yes, if you have a property ready for repossession or have recently lawfully evicted residents, Owen can help. He can gain entry to the property, change or rekey locks and prevent unauthorised re-entry.

Legal authorities are worked closely with to ensure all actions comply with current UK laws and regulations.

Yes, if you’ve lost any of your keys outside your property, changing your locks is advisable. There is always a risk they were deliberately stolen by someone who knows your address.

The cost of locksmith services in Patcham varies depending on the job. To provide an accurate quote, let Owen know the service you require and, if possible, the type of locks required.

Need help with your quote? For assistance please get in touch.

Ultion locks have a £5,000 guarantee to homeowners who register their lock. If a burglary occurs within five years due to lock snapping, Ultion will compensate you, demonstrating their confidence in the lock’s security capabilities.

For other locks Owen fits, parts and installation have a 1 year guarantee.

Absolutely! Owen can visit to your home or business in Patcham to assess the lock. In some cases he may be able to diagnose the issue over a video call.

The broken lock can then be repaired or replaced, depending on its condition, with a no-fix, no-fee guarantee.

Yes, it’s always recommended to change the locks on a property as soon as possible, as you can’t always be sure who has had keys in the past or what copies have been made.

Previous owners, tenants, neighbours, family members, cleaners, dog walkers or tradespeople may have had access previously, so a post-move lock change is the safest course of action.

🚪🔑 Quick question for West Sussex homeowners (be honest 😅)

When was the last time you actually tested every door and window lock in your house?

This time of year we get loads of calls for things that started as a “small niggle”… and then suddenly the key won’t turn, the door won’t lock, or the handle drops at the worst possible moment.

Common spring issues we’re seeing right now:

✅ uPVC doors that need lifting to lock
✅ Stiff keys / locks that feel “gritty”
✅ Handles that are loose or dropping
✅ Doors that catch / scrape after winter
✅ Snapped keys in the lock (always fun… 🙃)

👇 Engagement time:

What’s your house’s most annoying door/window issue right now?

Comment (or describe it) and I’ll reply with what we can do to help.

1. Key stiff / hard to turn
2. Door needs lifting to lock
3. Handle loose or dropping
4. Door catching / not closing smoothly
5. Window won’t shut/lock properly
