SATISFIED CLIENTS
DIAGNOSIS & REPAIR
Is your key sticking, or is your door handle sagging? Many locking issues do not require a full, costly replacement. Addressing mechanical faults early prevents sudden lockouts and ensures your property remains fully secure. Romans provides professional, non-destructive lock repairs to fix broken internal components, restore smooth operation, and extend the lifespan of your existing hardware.
Over time, dirt build-up, worn key blades, or misaligned internal pins can cause keys to catch or get stuck inside the cylinder. Forcing the key risks snapping it off in the lock. Romans carefully extracts debris, realigns the pin mechanism, or replaces damaged cylinder components to ensure effortless turning.
A floppy handle on a uPVC or composite door usually indicates a worn spring cassette or a failing multi-point gearbox. Ignoring a loose handle puts extra strain on the central locking mechanism. RJ Locksmith Services repairs or replaces the internal spring mechanisms and gearboxes to restore firm, responsive handle operation.
Seasonal weather changes and building settlement can cause timber, uPVC, and composite doors to drop, pulling the latch and hooks out of alignment with the frame keeps. This creates severe resistance when turning the key. Romans expertly adjusts hinges and realigns the locking keeps to eliminate friction and prevent mechanism failure.
If your key turns continuously without engaging the hooks, bolts, or rollers, the internal gearbox inside the multi-point locking system has likely broken. Instead of replacing the entire strip – which can be very expensive – Romans replaces just the central gearbox module, restoring full security at a fraction of the cost.
A lock that is completely jammed shuts you out or leaves your property dangerously exposed. Using specialized non-destructive entry techniques and precision locksmith tools, Romans safely opens jammed mechanisms without causing damage to your door or surrounding frame, replacing only the broken internal parts.
When the key turns freely 360 degrees without retracting the latch or throwing the deadbolt, the cam inside the Euro profile cylinder or the tailpiece has snapped. RJ Locksmith Services quickly extracts the faulty component and installs high-quality, British Standard replacement parts to get your lock functioning seamlessly again.
TAILORED REPAIRS
Different door materials and locking mechanisms require tailored expertise to repair correctly without causing unnecessary damage. Whether you have a modern uPVC patio door or a traditional solid timber front door, Romans carries an extensive inventory of specialist tools and replacement components. RJ Locksmith Services provides targeted, cost-effective repair solutions designed specifically for your hardware type.
uPVC and composite doors rely on complex multi-point locking mechanisms that run the full height of the door. When these systems jam, catch, or fail, it is usually down to a broken central gearbox, a failed spring, or door drop. Romans specializes in diagnosing these intricate mechanisms, replacing faulty gearboxes on-site, and adjusting misaligned hinges to make locking completely effortless again.
Found primarily on wooden doors, Mortice locks are embedded directly within the timber frame. Over time, internal springs can snap, levers can wear down, or keyways can become misaligned, preventing the bolt from throwing. Romans carefully dismantled, services, and repairs 5-lever Mortice locks – restoring smooth operation while ensuring your hardware remains fully compliant with British Standard BS3621 insurance regulations.
Often called "Yale locks," surface-mounted Night Latches are prone to loose snib buttons, worn rim cylinders, and slipping latches that cause accidental lockouts. Romans realigns misaligned strike plates, repairs internal mechanical latches, and replaces worn cylinder barrels with high-security alternatives to ensure reliable automatic locking.
From anti-snap Euro profile cylinders on residential doors to commercial Thumbturns and Master Key systems, precision internal pin assemblies can wear out or become contaminated with grit. Romans clears blocked keyways, repairs slipping cams, and services anti-drill and anti-pick cylinder components to restore top-tier protection without requiring a complete hardware overhaul.
DOMESTIC & COMMERCIAL
Whether you need an urgent fix for your family home or ongoing hardware maintenance for commercial premises, Romans provides a fast, dependable service across West Sussex and Surrey. From restoring jammed residential uPVC doors to servicing high-traffic commercial entry systems, every repair is executed with engineering precision and long-lasting British Standard components.
A faulty lock on your front door, back patio, or garage compromises your home’s security and peace of mind. Romans delivers expert domestic lock repairs, resolving sticking keys, dropping handles, and failed uPVC gearboxes on-site. By repairing internal mechanisms rather than rushing to replace entire assemblies, you receive a prompt, affordable solution that keeps your home fully secured and insurance compliant.
Commercial locks endure heavy daily traffic, leading to rapid wear on latch mechanisms, door closers, and euro cylinders. Romans assists shopfronts, offices, and industrial units with heavy-duty lock repairs, thumbturn servicing for fire exit compliance, and keyway restoration. Quick turnarounds ensure your business operations suffer zero downtime, keeping your staff, assets, and premises protected.
Managing rental portfolios requires reliable, cost-effective maintenance that minimizes tenant disruption. Romans partners with landlords and letting agents to deliver fast-response lock repairs between or during tenancies. From fixing worn Mortice sashlocks to realigning dropped composite doors, most issues are diagnosed and repaired in a single visit, saving you the expense of unnecessary hardware replacements.
COST-EFFECTIVE PROTECTION
Many homeowners and business owners assume that a jamming mechanism or sticking key automatically means buying an expensive new lock. In reality, most mechanical issues stem from worn internal components or misaligned frames. By opting for a professional lock repair with Romans, you can restore your hardware to peak condition at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement, all while maintaining full compliance with your home insurance policy.
Replacing an entire multi-point locking system or a premium high-security cylinder can be costly. A targeted lock repair addresses only the faulty component – such as replacing a central gearbox instead of the full multi-point strip. This cost-effective approach keeps your maintenance expenses low without sacrificing quality or security.
If your current front or back door is already fitted with an insurance-approved British Standard BS3621 lock or a 3-Star Anti-Snap cylinder, replacing it unnecessarily can be a waste of high-quality hardware. Romans carefully repairs and re-services your existing mechanism, ensuring it continues to display the official BSI Kitemark and keeps your home insurance policy completely valid.
Locks endure daily wear and tear, leading to a build-up of friction, debris, and spring fatigue. A professional overhaul – including deep cleaning, internal component replacement, and mechanical realignment – prevents premature failure, extending the operational life of your doors and handles for years to come.
Replacing complete locking assemblies often requires additional drilling, cutting, or door frame adjustments. Romans prioritises non-destructive entry and repair techniques, preserving the structural integrity and aesthetic finish of your uPVC, composite, or timber doors while delivering a swift, hassle-free fix.
