Emergency Lock Repair in Salisbury

Emergency Lock Repair - A few weeks ago, I received a call from a family living in Harnham, just outside Salisbury city centre. Their front door wouldn’t lock properly, and with two young children in the house, they were understandably worried about leaving the property unsecured overnight.

When I arrived, I found that the UPVC multi-point lock had worn down over time. The gearbox was jamming, which meant the handle wouldn’t lift smoothly to secure the door. Many people assume they need to replace the whole door when this happens, but in most cases a repair is all that’s needed.

I carefully removed the faulty gearbox, fitted a replacement part, and re-aligned the door to ensure it closed and locked without any resistance. Within the hour, the door was back in perfect working order. The family were relieved, and more importantly, they could lock up safely again that same evening.

They told me they’d worried about locksmith costs in Salisbury being unpredictable, but I explained my pricing clearly before starting. As always, there were no hidden extras and no VAT added. What I quoted was exactly what they paid.

This job is a great example of how a local locksmith can save people time, money, and stress. Instead of paying out hundreds for a new door, the customer only paid for a repair and parts.

Whether it’s a lock change in Old Sarum, an emergency call-out in Harnham, or a UPVC repair in Laverstock, my aim is always the same: to provide honest advice, fair prices, and a fast response.
