gearboxes replaced for functioning security

Location: North Somerset
Service Provided By: Gary at Locking Locksmiths

When it comes to home security, it’s not just the locks that matter — the internal gearboxes within your door’s multi-point locking system play a vital role in how well your doors lock, secure, and perform.

Recently, Gary from Locking Locksmiths was called to a stunning residential property in North Somerset where the homeowners had growing concerns about the security and performance of several doors throughout their home.

🔍 The Problem: Stiff Handles and Inconsistent Locking

The clients had noticed that three of their uPVC doors were becoming increasingly difficult to lock. The handles were stiff, and in some cases, the doors failed to lock entirely. After a thorough inspection, Gary identified the issue:

  • ⚙️ All three doors had worn or damaged gearboxes

  • ⚠️ Internal components were beginning to fail due to age and frequent use

  • 🛑 If left untreated, the gearboxes could seize completely — leading to lockouts or compromised security

🛠️ The Solution: Professional Gearbox Replacements

Gary recommended the replacement of all three gearboxes with high-quality, security-rated units. The process included:

✅ Removing the existing faulty gearboxes
✅ Carefully fitting and testing the new mechanisms
✅ Realigning each door to ensure smooth handle movement
✅ Fully testing all locking points for a secure and consistent lock

The new gearboxes were chosen not only for their durability, but also for their compatibility with modern locking standards — giving the homeowners peace of mind.

✅ The Result: Secure, Effortless Locking Across the Home

With all three gearboxes replaced, the doors now operate smoothly, reliably, and securely. The customer was thrilled not only with the improved ease of use but also the boost to overall home security.

💬 Customer Feedback:

“We’re so pleased with the work Gary did. All three doors are working perfectly, and we feel much safer knowing the internal lock mechanisms are now up to standard. Brilliant service from start to finish!”
