By Appointment to His Majesty The King Locksmiths Power Lock & Security Ltd., Edinburgh The handle will not lift, or the key will not turn. Usually a dropped door or a worn multipoint lock.
A broken spring, cam or gearbox. We replace the failed part, not the whole door.
Worn hinges or keeps out of adjustment. We rehang the door and set it tight to its seals.
Do not force a stiff handle. Forcing it is the usual way a gearbox breaks, and a door that fails while locked has to be opened before it can be repaired.
Tell us what the handle and key do. A photo of the door edge with the door open helps us identify the lock.
We check whether the door has dropped or a part has failed. If we do not carry the part, we order it and return.
We set the hinges and keeps so the door closes and locks without force.
Customer reviews
Feedback from customers across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
We rang Power Lock & Security when we discovered that we had lost both keys for our summerhouse. Their communications were excellent. They arrived at the agreed time and within 15 minutes the door had been opened the lock changed, and we were presented with 5 keys. If you want speedy service and quality work, look no further.

I absolutely recommend Power Lock & Security. Liam provided a great service, took the time and extra care to make sure our new door buzzer worked properly whilst ensuring we were happy with the buzzer and handset speaker volume at both ends. 5 stars!
John Thain
We've had Liam out twice now. Both times were almost emergencies. He was prompt, efficient, and very reasonably priced. The second visit was ongoing issues with two different doors, which he diagnosed and sorted in no time at all! Highly recommend

Called Liam in the morning after our door wouldn't lock. He was great and popped round in the afternoon. 10-15 mins later we managed to lock our door. Liam was polite, responsive, good value and did a great job. Will def use again and would absolutely recommend. Thanks so much.

From changing locks, getting new handles, making internal doors easier to close, and sorting issues with sticky tilt and turn windows, Power Lock & Security was great to deal with. Prompt responses, good advice, speedy and high quality work.
Linda Kennedy
The 'phone was answered promptly by Liam, always a good start!
Sean attended, identified the problem, ordered the part & returned a day later to fit.
He fitted the new multipoint system & checked to ensure everything was just right, then cleaned up meticulously.
A professional service.
Best of all, the labour/call out charge! Not greedy. Very reasonable & fair. Thank you!

FAQs
Need help now? Phone 0131 358 9585.
Usually, yes. The cause is usually a dropped door or a worn part in the multipoint lock. Both can be put right without a new door.
A spring has broken, either in the handle or in the gearbox of the lock. We check which before replacing anything.
Usually. We measure the lock, including the backset (the distance from the door edge to the centre of the cylinder), and order a matching mechanism.
Not usually, for a lock fault. A new door is only worth looking at if the frame or the door itself is damaged.
Phone us and tell us what the handle and key do.
