How We Can Help
Locked Out Or Unable To Lock Up?
Let’s Get Your Day
Back On Track.
You might have pulled the door shut with your keys still inside. Perhaps the key turns but nothing happens, or the lock has stopped working just as you need to leave. Whatever has happened, you don’t need to diagnose it before you call.
Tell us whether you are inside or outside, whether there is another way into the property and if the door is locked or simply closed. Those details help us understand the job and discuss availability.
We’ll assess the door and consider an appropriate way to open it, aiming to avoid unnecessary damage. A faulty or damaged lock may need further work, and we’ll explain that before going ahead. We will also need to establish that you have permission to enter.
If your key is stuck, avoid forcing it. Tell us whether the door is open or closed and whether you can leave the property secure.
From First Call To Finished Job
You’ll Know What
We’re Recommending.
You should feel comfortable asking questions about work on your home. We’ll explain the problem, talk through the practical options and agree the work with you.
Tell Us What’s Wrong
Let us know your Marlow address, the type of door and what happens when you try the key or handle. If the job is urgent, say whether you can secure the property.
Understand Your Options
Some problems can be discussed over the phone; others need a closer look. We’ll explain what we propose to do and the charges before you decide to proceed.
Check It Works For You
Once the agreed work is complete, we’ll check the lock and show you how it operates. Try the keys and handle yourself and ask us about anything that feels unfamiliar.

That Small Problem
Is Worth A Look.
A door rarely becomes difficult for no reason. You may have started lifting it to turn the key, pulling the handle harder, or trying several times before the lock catches. These are useful clues, and dealing with them early can help you avoid getting stuck.
We look at the whole entrance: how the door sits, how the latch meets the frame and how the lock moves. Replacing a lock without checking the door can leave the original problem unresolved.
Where a repair or adjustment is suitable, we’ll explain it. If a worn or damaged part needs replacing, we’ll talk you through the choice and what that means for your existing keys. The aim is a door you can use comfortably and lock properly.

Moving House Or Replacing A Lock?
A Fresh Start
For Your Front Door.
When you move into a property, you receive a set of keys. What you may not know is how many other copies are still out there. Changing the relevant locks can be a simple way to take control of access to your new home.
We can help you understand what is already fitted and which parts need changing. On some doors, a new cylinder is enough; on others, a different type of lock or further work may be appropriate. You don’t have to choose from a list of unfamiliar products on your own.
Choosing A Replacement That Suits Your Door
Different doors need different hardware. The fit, operation and intended use all matter. Tell us if you have specific insurance requirements so we can discuss those when considering a replacement. Keep the wording of your policy to hand rather than relying on a general description.
We can also discuss everyday needs, such as how the door is locked from inside and who needs a key. If you rent your home, speak to your landlord or letting agent before authorising changes. For landlords, tell us about the tenancy change and any access arrangements we need to follow.

When The Handle
Won’t Play Along.
If your uPVC door handle is hard to lift, or the key only turns after a struggle, it is easy to assume the lock has failed. Sometimes the door has dropped or the locking points are not lining up with the frame. Sometimes there is a worn mechanism or a damaged cylinder.
We check what is causing the trouble before recommending work. The same approach applies to windows that will not close securely or have a handle that feels loose or stuck.
Tell us if the problem changes with the weather, if the door catches as it closes, or if anything has recently been adjusted. Small details can be helpful. Avoid forcing a stiff handle while you are waiting for it to be checked.
Help With uPVC RepairsNot Sure What Your Lock Is Called?
That’s fine. “The handle moves but the door won’t open” is a useful place to start. Describe what you can see and what happens when you try it.
Feeling Secure At Home
Look Beyond
The Front Door.
Home security is easier to manage when you look at how you use the whole property. A good front-door lock is only part of the picture; a back door that does not lock reliably or an overlooked window can still need attention.
We can help you check door and window locks, understand existing faults and decide which improvements to prioritise. There is no need to change everything at once. Start with anything broken, unreliable or difficult to use.
If there has been a break-in or attempted entry, make sure you are safe and contact the police where appropriate. Once it is suitable to disturb the damaged area, we can assess the lock and discuss the work needed to secure the entrance.

A Few Helpful Answers
Your Marlow Locksmith Questions
It’s easier to decide what to do when you know what to expect. Here are some of the things you may be wondering.
Can You Help If I Am Locked Out In Marlow?
Yes, lockouts are one of our services. Call 01628 436 171 and tell us where you are, whether the door has simply closed or is locked, and where the keys are. We’ll confirm availability and discuss access. You should also be ready to show that you are entitled to enter the property.
Will You Have To Replace My Lock?
Not always. A problem can come from the way the door sits in its frame, a worn component or the lock itself. We’ll check what is causing it and explain whether an adjustment, a repair or a replacement is the sensible option.
Can You Open A Door Without Damaging It?
We consider suitable methods that avoid unnecessary damage first. The result depends on the door, lock and fault, so we cannot promise a particular method before assessing it. If removing or replacing a lock is necessary, we’ll explain why before proceeding.
Do You Repair uPVC Doors And Windows?
Yes. Tell us whether the handle moves normally, whether the key turns and whether the door or window closes. There may be a problem with the alignment, handle, cylinder or locking mechanism. We’ll check the cause rather than assume the whole unit needs replacing.
How Much Will The Work Cost?
The cost depends on the problem, the door or lock type and any parts needed. Give us as much detail as you can when you call or send your enquiry. We’ll explain the proposed work and charges before you agree to go ahead; some jobs need an inspection before a firm price is possible.
Should I Change The Locks When I Move House?
It is worth thinking about if you cannot account for all the keys. A lock change lets you control who has access. Depending on the door, changing the cylinder may be enough. If you rent, check with your landlord or letting agent before authorising changes.
What Should I Do If My Key Is Hard To Turn?
Avoid forcing it or repeatedly lifting the handle with extra pressure. A key that is difficult to turn can snap, and a stiff lock may have another cause such as a door catching on its frame. Tell us when it happens and whether the door is currently secure.
Can I Send An Enquiry Instead Of Calling?
Of course. Use the form on this page and describe the problem in your own words. Include your Marlow address or postcode and a contact number. If you are locked out now or cannot secure the property, calling is the better way to discuss current availability.
