Islington locksmith questions
Can you work on an original Georgian or Victorian front door?
Yes, carefully. Period timber doors in Canonbury, Barnsbury and Highbury usually have a mortice lock and a rim nightlatch. We replace like for like or upgrade the lock without cutting the door about, and keep original brass furniture where we can.
Our building's main door will not close properly. Can you fix it?
Usually, yes. Communal doors in converted Islington houses and blocks often have a worn closer, a dropped hinge or a latch that no longer catches. We adjust or replace the parts so the door shuts and locks by itself.
Do you secure shops on Upper Street and Holloway Road?
Yes, any hour. A forced shop door is made to lock, and broken shop glass is boarded so you can open in the morning.
