Fix door lock (handle and key type)

Question

Please may I have an idea of the cost of fixing inner porch door lock. Handle turns but key won’t turn to secure lock. Probably requires removal of metal strip to fix mechanism. Looks like a simple job which I can’t manage.

Good afternoon Jane,

Assuming this is a UPVC door or sliding patio door, it will most likely be a euro cylinder type lock (the one that looks like a keyhole shape)

These tend to be the fault when it comes to a jammed lock being unable to turn. The fact that it won’t lock means it will be a lot easier to remove the existing cylinder and replace for a new one which will almost certainly solve the problem. Been cylinders range from £5 all the way upto £50. A decent mid range one (such as a Yale brand) will cost around £20. Plus fitting time the whole job shouldn’t cost you more than £50-£75 total. I hope this helps and if I can be of anymore help please feel free to contact me.

Roughly £100-150 depending on type/style of door, You may find it separates into sections I.e door cartridge,lock and handle in that case you may just be able to change the part that is broken.

Thanks BPS
