From traditional tenement flats and family homes to rental properties and commercial premises, Edinburgh has a varied mix of buildings, each with its own security requirements. A lock that works well on one type of property may not be the right choice for another.
At Capital Lock Services, we provide locksmith services across Edinburgh, helping homeowners, landlords, property managers and businesses with lock repairs, replacements and security improvements.
Whether you’re dealing with a lock that’s becoming difficult to use or you’re planning to improve security across a property, we’ll help you find a practical solution.
Lock Repair and Fitting in Edinburgh
Locks are used every day, so wear and tear is inevitable. Keys can become difficult to turn, mechanisms can stick and doors may stop locking as smoothly as they once did.
A problem with a lock doesn’t automatically mean the entire unit needs replacing. We can inspect the lock and surrounding hardware to establish what’s causing the issue. Where possible, we’ll look at repairing the existing lock. If replacement is the more appropriate option, we can fit a suitable alternative.
We work with many of the lock types commonly found throughout Edinburgh, including mortice, Yale and UPVC door locks.
Mortice and Yale Locks
Mortice locks are particularly common on timber doors and are found in many older Edinburgh properties. If a mortice lock has become worn, damaged or unreliable, we can assess whether it can be repaired or whether a new lock would provide a better solution.
We also work with Yale locks and night latches. Whether you’ve recently moved into a property, have an ageing lock or want to review your current security, we can advise on suitable options for the door.
When a UPVC door becomes difficult to lock, the lock itself isn’t always the only possible cause. Problems with the mechanism, handles or door alignment can affect how the entire system operates.
Our UPVC locksmith services in Edinburgh cover the assessment and repair of these common problems. We’ll identify what’s causing the issue before recommending the work required, helping avoid unnecessary replacement where a repair is possible.
Window Locks and Internal Door Security
Front and back doors may be the obvious places to start when considering security, but they’re not the only access points worth checking.
Window locks can become damaged or worn, particularly on older fittings. Internal doors may also require suitable locks in shared properties, rental accommodation, workplaces and other buildings where access needs to be controlled.
We can assess existing window and internal door locks and recommend suitable repairs or improvements based on how the property is used.
HMO Compliant Locks in Edinburgh
Edinburgh has a large rental market, including properties occupied by multiple tenants. For landlords and property managers, choosing appropriate locks involves more than simply securing the building.
Capital Lock Services provides HMO compliant lock fitting in Edinburgh, helping property owners put suitable locking arrangements in place.
We can look at the existing doors and locks within the property and advise on appropriate options, whether you’re preparing a property for tenants or reviewing an existing HMO.
Shops, offices and other commercial premises can have very different security needs from residential properties.
We provide commercial lock services in Edinburgh for businesses that need existing locks repaired, replacements fitted or general improvements made to their property security.
This can be particularly useful when moving into new premises, dealing with ageing locks or reviewing who has access following staffing or operational changes.
Garage Door Security in Edinburgh
Garages are easy to overlook when reviewing security, despite often containing vehicles, bicycles, tools and other valuable equipment.
If a garage door lock is damaged, difficult to operate or no longer gives you confidence, we can assess the existing set-up and recommend suitable improvements. We can also help property owners who want to strengthen garage security as part of a wider review of their home or premises.
