MEET STEVE

Your Tameside Locksmith Is Steve

Tameside Locksmiths 24/7 is a family business, and Steve is the locksmith. He's been at it for over 15 years. Whether you're in Ashton-under-Lyne, Hyde, Denton or Stalybridge, it's Steve who comes out and Steve who does the job.

A recent one in Stalybridge: the customer had lost their keys and the Locinox lock on their gate had seized. Steve got it open without damaging the lock or the gate, then fitted a new cylinder, so the lost keys no longer work and they've got a fresh set.

Not every job is a house. In Denton, Steve fitted a Codelocks keypad lock to a fire exit door for a local company, so it now opens from outside with a code instead of a key.

How Steve Works

Why Tameside Residents Choose Steve

Most lock problems aren't as bad as they look. Steve's job is finding out what's actually wrong before anything gets replaced.

He finds the fault before quoting for parts.

A uPVC door you have to lift to lock has usually dropped, so the hooks catch the keeps. That's an adjustment, and you're told so before you're charged for anything.

He replaces only what's failed.

When the handle lifts but the key won't turn, it's often just the gearbox. If the rest of the mechanism is sound, he swaps the gearbox on its own, which is a much smaller job.

Older doors get parts that actually fit.

Many older uPVC doors run mechanisms that aren't made any more. Steve measures the backset and centres before ordering, so the replacement fits properly and doesn't fail again a year later. If a door really is past repair, he'll tell you rather than fit something that won't last.

Worth doing while the door's open.

Swapping a standard cylinder for an anti-snap one is a quick job when Steve is already working on the door, and it's one of the most useful security upgrades for a uPVC door.

FAQS

Questions Tameside Customers Ask

Is there a call-out fee?

+
No. There's no call-out fee and no VAT on top. You're told the price before any work starts.

How quickly can you get to me?

+
It depends where Steve is and what the roads are like, so you'll get a realistic arrival time when you ring, not a promise the traffic won't allow. Break-ins go to the front of the queue.

Can you get me in without damaging the lock?

+
That's always the first thing Steve tries. If drilling really is the only way in, he'll explain why and what it costs before he starts, and fit a new lock the same visit.

I've lost my keys. Do I need a whole new lock?

+
Usually not. If the lock itself is fine, Steve changes the cylinder (the part the key goes into), so your old keys stop working, and you get new keys with it. On older mortice locks, the lock itself is changed.

Can you fit a smart lock?

+
Yes. Steve fits smart locks for keyless entry. He'll check your door and existing lock first so the smart lock suits it.

Do you work for businesses?

+
Yes. As well as homes, Steve changes and upgrades locks for shops, offices and units, and fits keypad code locks, like the fire exit keypad in Denton shown above.
