A window lock that doesn't work properly is more than an inconvenience — it's a security vulnerability, and it may invalidate your home insurance if a break-in occurs. Locksafe York offers a reliable window lock repair and replacement service across York, covering all common window types and locking mechanisms.
We work on uPVC casement windows, tilt-and-turn windows, sash windows, and timber-framed windows. Common issues include broken espagnolette bolts, failed cockspur handles, worn locking points, damaged keys, and mechanisms that have dropped out of alignment. Most of these are straightforward repairs that can be completed in a single visit.
If a window lock is beyond repair, we carry a range of replacement locks and handles on the van for the most common window types, so in most cases we can fit new hardware on the same visit without needing to order parts.
We also carry out window lock upgrades — fitting additional locking points to improve security ratings, or replacing basic handles with insurance-approved alternatives. If you're unsure whether your window locks meet your insurer's requirements, we can assess them and advise during the visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
My window lock is stiff — does it need replacing?
Not necessarily. Stiff locks are often caused by misalignment, lack of lubrication, or a worn handle rather than a failed mechanism. We'll diagnose the issue on-site and repair rather than replace wherever possible.
Do you cover all types of windows?
Yes — we work on uPVC casement, tilt-and-turn, sash, and timber-framed windows. If you have an unusual window type, call ahead and we'll confirm parts availability.
What if my window lock key has been lost?
Many window locks use a standard key profile — we can often cut a replacement on-site. If your lock uses a unique or restricted key, we'll advise on replacement options.
Will my insurance cover broken window locks?
Most home insurance policies require all external windows to have working locks. A failed window lock may affect your ability to make a claim. We'll get yours sorted promptly and can provide a receipt for your records.
