A stiff mortice, a dropped multipoint, a nightlatch that won't catch — nine times out of ten there's a repair in it, at a fraction of replacement cost. Boltfix's eight branches, from Scarborough and Bridlington down through the Black Country to Oxford, are staffed by locksmiths who'd rather fix than fit.
8 branches. Vans stocked with parts, not just replacements.
These are the calls where other firms quote a replacement and we usually don't have to.
Mortices, nightlatches, cylinders and rim locks stripped, serviced and brought back to smooth.
Dropped uPVC doors realigned, timber doors eased, hinges packed — the cause fixed, not just the symptom.
Seized espagnolettes and snapped handles repaired with parts, not whole new windows.
Keys extracted and cylinders saved — a snapped key rarely has to mean a new lock.
Non-destructive entry so there's nothing to repair afterwards. Drilling is our last resort, not our first tool.
24/7 cover across all eight towns — emergency doesn't have to mean 'rip it out and start again'.
Forced doors and frames rebuilt and re-secured, working with what survived.
Also available at every branch: Lock changes · Door lock installation & replacement · Emergency boarding up · Safe installation & opening.
A gearbox swap costs a fraction of a new multipoint strip. We quote the repair because it's the right call, even though it's the smaller invoice.
Boltfix vans carry gearboxes, springs, cams, followers and cylinders — so a repair verdict becomes a same-visit repair.
Some locks are done. When replacement is genuinely the answer, we say so and show you why — with the worn part in your hand.
Every repair is guaranteed in writing. If it fails again inside the guarantee, the return visit is on us.
From seaside terraces in Bridlington to college lets in Oxford, each branch runs its own diary on its own number. The areas named are that branch's daily patch.
Send your local Boltfix branch a photo or a description — they'll tell you straight if it's fixable.
