ShopfrontShopfront lock & shootbolt repairs in Kent
Shopfront lock repair is fixing or replacing the locking hardware on commercial doors — narrow-stile deadlocks and hookbolts, euro cylinders, and the shootbolts that lock the inactive leaf of a double door into the floor and head.

Common questions
Why won't my shop door lock?
The most common cause is the door dropping so the bolt no longer meets the keep. Worn cylinders and broken lock bodies are the next most likely causes.
Do you open locked-out shop doors?
We can attend when a door will not open, but we will ask for proof that you are entitled to access the premises before any entry work is carried out.
What should I do before the engineer arrives?
Keep people clear of broken glass, do not force a jammed door or shutter, and take photos if it is safe to do so. If you can, note any make or model shown on the door, closer or shutter motor.
Can I get shopfront lock & shootbolt repairs out of hours in Kent?
Emergency work to make premises safe is available out of hours. Non-urgent repairs are booked around your trading hours.
