Wooden door lock repair
A timber-door lock needs sound material around its case, fixings and receiving plate.

Wooden door lock repair — checking timber movement and the mortice preparation; assessing lock dimensions
Inspect splits, loose screws and seasonal movement alongside the hardware. Replacing a small component will not necessarily restore a weakened fixing area.
The detail that matters
Can damaged timber be the main cause?
Yes. The lock may be serviceable while the surrounding door or frame no longer supports it correctly.

What previous work should I mention?
Earlier lock changes, patched cut-outs and recurring sticking can help explain the current condition.
What should I include in this enquiry?
Have the postcode, photographs of the lock and door, and a short account of when the fault began. Identify the person authorised to arrange access; do not send key codes or sensitive entry credentials through the form.
How is the quotation worked out?
The quotation depends on the identified mechanism, suitable parts, door condition, access and agreed attendance time. Confirm any initial assessment charge and the scope of replacement before work starts.
Will access authorisation need to be checked?
Be ready to establish that you are entitled to arrange the work and identify the responsible occupier or manager where the property is shared.
Should I buy a replacement part before the visit?
A photograph may not establish the dimensions or mechanism version. Confirm compatibility before purchasing a part for the intended repair.
When can the work be arranged?
For wooden door lock repair, confirm current assessment and supply times for your postcode. A first visit, made-to-order materials and the completed work may have different dates.
Does completing this form send a booking?
