Window Lock Repairs
Window locks can wear over time through daily use, age and exposure to the elements.
Common window lock problems include:
- Window Won't Open
- Window Won't Close
- Window Won't Lock
- Broken Window Keys
- Stiff Window Handles
- Failed Espag Mechanisms
- Damaged Window Keeps
- Loose Window Handles
- Failed Shootbolt Systems
Many faults can be repaired without replacing the complete window. Multipoint and shootbolt systems are common on modern uPVC windows.

uPVC windows are the most common type of window fitted throughout Orpington and Bromley.
Services include:
- Espag Lock Repairs
- Shootbolt Lock Repairs
- Window Handle Replacement
- Lock Mechanism Replacement
- Window Alignment Adjustments

Many window lock failures can be repaired during a single visit.

- Tilt & Turn Handles
Replacement handles are available in a variety of colours and styles to match existing windows.
Espagnolette Window Locks
Espagnolette (Espag) locks are one of the most common window locking systems found on modern uPVC windows.
The mechanism operates locking points around the window frame through a central handle and gearbox arrangement.
Common faults include:
- Failed Gearboxes

Window Security Upgrades
Many older windows can benefit from additional security measures.
Popular upgrades include:
- Lockable Window Handles
- Additional Window Locks
- Keyed Window Locks
- Child Safety Restrictors
- Window Restrictors
- Sash Jammers
Sash jammers provide an additional physical barrier and can be fitted to uPVC, timber and composite windows to help resist forced entry.
Sash Jammers
Sash jammers are one of the simplest and most effective window security upgrades available.
The Key Locksmith regularly installs:
- ERA Sash Jammers
- Yale Sash Jammers
- Fab & Fix Sash Jammers
- Locking Sash Jammers
- Window Handle Jammers
These devices help prevent a window from being forced open even if the primary lock is attacked.
Timber Window Locks
Traditional timber windows often require specialist lock repairs and upgrades.
Services include:
- Sash Window Locks
- Window Bolt Installation
- Window Restrictors
- Lock Repairs
- Security Upgrades
Additional locks can often be installed without affecting the appearance of the window.
Child Safety Window Restrictors
Window restrictors help prevent windows from opening beyond a safe distance while still allowing ventilation.
They are particularly popular in:
- Family Homes
- Flats
- Apartments
- Schools
- Care Facilities
Restrictors can improve safety without compromising security.
A Recent Window Lock Repair
Recently I attended a customer in Bromley whose bedroom uPVC window would no longer lock correctly.
The handle turned freely but the locking points failed to engage.
After dismantling the mechanism, I identified a worn espag gearbox. A replacement mechanism was fitted, the window adjusted and the locking system fully tested.
The customer avoided the cost of replacing the entire window and the repair was completed during the same visit.
