Locks that fail with damp and sea salt
Near the sea, salt and humidity rust mechanisms and stiffen cylinders. Homes left closed for months often have locks that are hard to turn when you come back in summer, and forcing them ends up snapping the key.
Many faults are fixed with cleaning, adjustment or a specific part. If the cylinder is damaged, we explain when a lock change or just a new cylinder is worth it.
Faults we repair
- Key broken inside the cylinder.
- A key that goes in but won't turn, or turns only with great effort.
- A bolt or latch that gets stuck.
- A door that doesn't fit and has to be pushed to close.
- A lock damaged after an attempted break-in.
- Loose handles or broken springs.

Good to know
Don't force the key
If the key won't turn, don't use pliers or cooking oil: it makes the repair harder.
When repair isn't worth it
If the mechanism is very worn or the part is no longer made, replacing it works out better. We tell you clearly.
What to have ready
The key (even if broken) and access to both sides of the door if possible.
What affects the price of a repair
