Locksmith Seddon

Local locksmith knowledge for Seddon

The building stock in Seddon runs to single-storey Victorian workers' cottages and Edwardian terraces, with a cluster of larger early-twentieth-century buildings around the village. Housing age is the single biggest factor in what locks we fit and service here. The recurring work here is the routine work is easing swollen heritage doors and windows and discreetly upgrading the original locks on these Victorian and Edwardian cottages. New deadlocks and entrance sets are specified to AS 4145.2 and to the actual door construction, whether that is solid timber, a security screen or an apartment fire door.

There is a maintenance side to this as well. Seddon sees no unusual climate exposure, so its century-old timber sash windows and front doors chiefly swell and stick through the damp winter months. It is the slow wear most people ignore until the key stops turning at the worst possible moment. A quick service — cleaning, lubrication and realignment — is far cheaper than an emergency call-out after the lock finally fails.
