A lot of homes in Crowthorne still have original wooden doors. Can you work on those or do you only deal with uPVC?

We work on both. Timber doors are actually more straightforward in many respects, though the older mortice locks fitted to them vary a lot in quality and age. We carry common mortice lock sizes and can replace or repair most of what we find on the Victorian and Edwardian stock in the village.

Crowthorne sits in RG45, about 4 miles south of central Wokingham, and we're typically on your doorstep within 20 minutes. It's a well-established village that punches above its weight in terms of housing variety: you've got Victorian and Edwardian semis close to the centre, post-war council stock, and a fair spread of 1970s and 1980s detached and semi-detached homes on quieter residential roads. We get a steady mix of lockouts, cylinder upgrades and repair jobs out here throughout the year.

We come in via the B3348 or cut through from the A3095, depending on traffic. The older housing stock near the village core still carries a lot of original wooden doors with tired multipoint mechanisms or ageing euro cylinders that haven't been touched in years. Closer to the Wellington College boundary the properties tend to be larger with more substantial entrance doors, but don't assume bigger means better secured. Crowthorne probably has more snap-vulnerable cylinders per street than anywhere else we cover in this part of Berkshire.

Most common Crowthorne jobs

Emergency lockouts on the 1970s semis, usually 18-22 minute response from Wokingham
Anti-snap cylinder replacements on older euro-profile locks, particularly on the Victorian terrace stock near the village centre
Multipoint mechanism failures on uPVC doors, a common fault on the 1990s and early 2000s properties
Lock repairs after attempted forced entry, including door-frame reinforcement where the timber has spread
Key-cutting and spare key sets for landlords managing rental properties in the residential streets off the B3348
Garage and side-gate lock upgrades on detached homes where the original builder-fit hardware was never worth keeping
