Checking the Door and Lock
We check the door thickness, material and the existing lock before advising on a replacement.
Lock Replacement in Dubai
Old or damaged locks replaced with new ones
In Brief
Lock replacement removes an old, worn or damaged lock and fits a new one that suits your door. We match the lock to the door and its material, fit it so it works smoothly, test it several times and give you the new keys.
Locks wear out, get damaged in a break-in attempt or become unreliable with age, and sometimes a repair is not worth doing. Fitting the right replacement matters: a lock has to suit the thickness and material of the door, the type of latch and the way the door opens, or it will fit badly and fail early.
We check the existing lock and the door, advise on a suitable replacement and fit it so the door locks and opens smoothly. If the door or frame is also damaged, we can repair that at the same time through our carpentry service. For a simpler fix see lock repair. The full service is on our locksmith page.
