When did you last service your locks?
Door locks need to be maintained in order to keep them in good working order. Locksmiths in Macclesfield can help you to repair and maintain your locks, whether you need a locksmith in Stockport, or upvc door lock repair in Macclesfield  
Maintaining your locks is very important because they can succumb to wear and tear, becoming faulty and unreliable. Keys can also become worn or bent. Using keys as a letter opener or a screwdriver will damage the key and will then damage the lock. Both of these issues will lower the security of your home. Locks will also be affected if your door drops or your hinges become loose. This is because the position of the door, and therefore the position of the lock, will have moved.
Here are some recommended checks from Locksmiths in Macclesfield. You should check your locks regularly to make sure they are still in good condition. Firstly, you should check the alignment of your door. Then you need to check that your lock is not scratched or worn. Next, take out your key and check that you can lock and unlock your door without difficulty. Also check that your lock does not give if you push against the door when it is locked.
You also need to check your keys. They should not be bent or worn out. This is also a good time to check where your spare keys are. Spare keys should be kept in a secure location that is not accessible from the outside of your home.
