Jason, Your Local Stourbridge Locksmith

The housing stock here splits into two broad camps, and each throws up different lock problems. The Victorian and Edwardian townhouses near the Glass Quarter tend to have heavy timber front doors, often with mortice deadlocks that have been in place for decades. Worn mortice cases, seized lever mechanisms and loose forend plates are common on doors of that age. The inter-war semis around Oldswinford and Norton are a different matter. Most of those doors have been replaced with uPVC at some point, which means multipoint locking systems. When the gearbox fails or the shootbolts drop out of alignment, the door will not lock or pull shut properly, and that is a uPVC door repair rather than a straightforward lock change. Both property types benefit from anti-snap cylinder upgrades. Timber doors with older euro cylinders are particularly exposed, because the cylinder often sits proud of the handle plate and can be snapped with basic tools. Fitting an ABS Master cylinder with the anti-snap guarantee addresses that directly, whatever the door construction.

Work covers the town centre and spreads out to Wollaston, Oldswinford, Norton and Amblecote. If you are near Mary Stevens Park or out towards the Red House Glass Cone, that is well within range. The surrounding areas of Halesowen, Brierley Hill, Dudley and Kidderminster are also covered, so the boundary is not a hard one if you are just outside the DY8 postcode.
