Locksmith, Lock Repairs & Replacements North Manchester

Trusted local locksmith covering North Manchester.

At We Fit For You, we provide a complete locksmith service across North Manchester, specialising in uPVC, timber and aluminium door locks. Most uPVC doors use multi-point locks, which vary in the number of locking points. Weather changes can cause doors to expand or contract, often jamming the mechanism. In many cases, this can be fixed with simple toe and heeling. Where a new lock is needed, we typically replace either the euro-cylinder or the full multi-point system.

uPVC window lock repairs

uPVC windows include several hardware parts that can wear or fail over time. Espagnolette locks, which use a gearbox mechanism, are a common fault. Our locksmiths carry the most widely used lock types in stock, allowing us to complete most replacements on the first visit. If specialist parts are required, we’ll order them and aim to return the same day to finish the repair.

Window and door security North Manchester

Another frequent issue involves friction stays, which are designed to hold windows open securely. When these fail, the window may jam or not open at all — a serious hazard, especially in bedrooms. We stock common friction stays on our vans, enabling first-visit replacements wherever possible.

Handle replacement North Manchester

We also replace handles, including cockspur, inline espagnolette and cranked espagnolette types. Handles may or may not include a key-locking facility, but our locksmiths carry the most common models and can replace them on site during the first visit.

Timber door lock replacements

Yale-style cylinder rim locks are common on wooden doors. If keys are lost, we can replace just the cylinder and provide new keys, which is often cheaper than fitting an entirely new lock. Where the lock housing itself is damaged, we’ll repair it if possible, or replace it fully if not.

Mortice locks are also widely used. Insurance companies require that external doors are fitted with a five-lever mortice lock conforming to BS 3621. When carrying out replacements, we always recommend fitting BS-approved models for maximum security.

Aluminium and garage door locks

Aluminium doors can use euro-cylinder, multi-point or mortice locking systems, sometimes in combination. We also supply and fit locks for garage doors and window locks, ensuring complete property security.
