Residential

Residential Locksmith Services

Domestic property protection requires hardware that meets home insurance standards and operates smoothly day to day. Pip Lockout supplies, fits, and services all common residential locking hardware across Andover:

uPVC & Composite Door Locks: diagnosis of stiff handles, misaligned keeps, and failing multi-point gearboxes.
Traditional Timber Door Security: BS3621 mortice deadlocks and nightlatches for period properties.
Move-In Rekeying: modifying existing cylinders so old keys no longer work, a cheaper alternative to full lock replacement for new homeowners.

Which Service Do You Need?

Not every faulty lock needs full replacement. Use this to narrow it down:

Handle won’t lift, key inserts cleanly? → Lock repair (likely a uPVC gearbox realignment)
Key turns freely but doesn’t engage the bolt? → Lock replacement (internal mechanism has failed)
Standard cylinder with no anti-snap protection? → Lock upgrade (TS007 3-Star cylinder)

Lock Repair

Most jammed or stiff uPVC and composite doors are caused by a worn internal gearbox or a door that’s dropped out of alignment, not a failed lock itself. Pip Lockout diagnoses and replaces the specific failed component and adjusts the hinges, avoiding the cost of a new door.

Lock Replacement

Where a cylinder, mortice lock, or internal mechanism has failed completely, snapped keys, sheared internals, non-engaging bolts, it’s replaced with new, kitemarked hardware matched to the door type.

FAQS

Frequent Asked Questions

Emergency non-destructive lockout assistance, uPVC multi-point lock repairs, lock replacements, insurance-compliant upgrades (BS3621/TS007), commercial access installations, and domestic rekeying.

No. Cost is based on labour and any hardware required, agreed with you before work starts. Full pricing explanation →

Yes, in most cases a jammed uPVC door is caused by a broken internal centre gearbox or door misalignment, not the lock itself. The specific mechanism is replaced and the frame hinges adjusted, saving the cost of a new door.

UK home insurance typically requires timber doors to have a BS3621 5-lever deadlock. Composite and uPVC doors should have a TS007 3-Star anti-snap cylinder, or a 1-Star cylinder paired with 2-Star security handles.
