Local Locksmith in Longbenton | Moorside Locksmiths

Longbenton is a mixed residential area covering a range of housing ages. The older parts of the neighbourhood, particularly around the streets near the Metro corridor, have semi-detached and terraced properties built primarily in the mid-twentieth century. These tend to have older wooden door frames with mortice deadlocks or Yale-style rim locks, many of which have not been updated in years and in some cases no longer meet insurance requirements. We carry out a number of lock assessments and upgrades in Longbenton for homeowners who have been flagged by their insurer or who want to improve security.

The newer parts of Longbenton and the more recently refurbished properties have uPVC doors with multipoint systems and euro cylinders. This is a different set of jobs - cylinder wear, mechanism failures, doors dropping out of alignment - and we deal with these regularly too. We also carry out landlord and letting agent work across Longbenton, whichhas a solid private rental market. Lock changes between tenancies and re-keying after key loss are regular call-outs. Emergency lockouts are covered around the clock.
