Common lock faults
There a few types of lock fault that we mainly deal with, if any of these sound like your vehicle please get in touch for a free quote today
The boot won’t open
Again, this fault is quite similar to a sticking door but is much more common. Parts get worn over time and may need replacing.
Key sticking in the lock
If your key sticks in the lock then the lock will definitely need replacing. We always check to see if the key is at fault before advising on any work to the lock itself.
Key stuck in the ignition barrel
It sounds rather scary but it is more common than you might think. Particularly a problem on certain Nissan models, having your key stick in the ignition is normally fixed by a new ignition barrel and new key if excessive wear to the key has occurred.
Repair Or Replace
When we attend to a faulty lock or ignition we will always try to repair rather than replace it since it saves both of us time.
In the case of ignitions, since it’s such a vital part we will almost always recommend replacing the ignition barrel. Any repairs here, although guaranteed are not ideal.
For locks around the car, we can try to repair them as mentioned above in the types of fault section.
When we repair a lock or mechanism we always fully guarantee our work for a year.
All work carried out is fully insured and is always agreed upon with the customer before we start any work. We pride ourselves on our customer experience and relationship.

Transit & Nissan Lock & Ignition Repairs
When we get called out to repair locks or ignitions there are two vehicles that are at the top of our list time and time again.
Ford Transits.
The older Transit vans have a very weak locking system and are prone to jamming.
The door locks on transit vans are one of the weakest locking systems we have ever seen and it seems to be an issue with a large range of the revisions available on the market today.
We have carried out countless repairs on Transit locks. If your lock is sticking or intermittent don’t hesitate and call today for a free quote.
Nissan’s
Nissan cars have a common fault that we often get called out for, failed ignition barrels.
Back in 2018, Nissan put a recall out for over 153,000 vehicles that have ignition barrel issues causing the key to get stuck in the on position.
This issue is caused by certain parts in the ignition barrel wearing over time and developing a sharp edge, acting as a hook barb locking the key in position.
This issue seems to be one of the main calls we get on a weekly basis with the popularity of vehicles like the Qashqai and juke. It is always better if we can catch it early to replace the ignition barrel entirely before a key gets stuck.
