Top 5 Signs Your Door Lock Is About to Fail

Not all lockouts happen suddenly — many give you warning signs. Here are the top 5 issues we fix regularly across Yorkshire homes:

1. Key feels stiff or doesn’t turn easily
2. You have to lift or push the door to get it to lock
3. Handle feels loose, floppy or grinds when used
4. Lock is sticking or catches intermittently
5. You’ve had the same lock for 10+ years

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call a locksmith before you find yourself locked out.

We carry out lock repairs and replacements in Selby, Goole, Sherburn-in-Elmet and surrounding areas all with no hidden fees and clear, honest advice.
