🚨🔑 LOCKFORCE TO THE RESCUE – WISTOW! ❤️
Saturday morning saw us called out to Wistow following a worrying situation involving an elderly lady who had unfortunately suffered a fall inside her home.

Her daughter contacted us for help gaining access and had also called the ambulance service, just in case her mum had been injured.
The problem? The key had been left in the back of the door, preventing access from outside.

Thankfully, we managed to gain entry, allowing the paramedics to get inside and carry out their checks. 🚑
Once everything was sorted, we fitted a thumbturn lock to help avoid the same situation happening again.

🔑 Why are thumbturn locks a great option for elderly residents?
✅ Easier to lock and unlock from inside without needing a key.
✅ No struggling to find or turn a key, particularly for those with reduced dexterity.
✅ Helps people maintain their independence at home.
✅ Can make emergency access easier when the appropriate emergency-access cylinder is fitted.

✅ Provides extra peace of mind for family members.
❤️ Sometimes, it's the little things that make the biggest difference.
At Lockforce York, we're not just about locks and keys. We're about helping people, protecting homes and being there when our community needs us.
Looking after an elderly relative? It might be worth checking whether their locks are suitable for their needs.

🎃 This Halloween, not every knock is a treat...

Ghosts and ghouls are one thing, but dodgy locks? Now that's scary.

Keep the frights to Halloween and leave the locks to Lockforce.

Happy Halloween from the Lockforce team!

🏠 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘, 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘… 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗡𝗢 𝗞𝗘𝗬𝗦! 😂🔑

Moving into a new home is exciting. New memories, new surroundings and, of course, the obligatory trip out to find something to eat! 🍔😂

We were recently called by a customer who had just moved into their new home and decided to pop out to grab some food.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗸𝗲𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲! 😬

After returning to find themselves locked out, they gave Lockforce Locksmith York a call.

We attended and, in no time at all, used a non-destructive method of entry to safely gain access to the property without damaging the door or lock.

Our customer was soon back inside and, most importantly, back in the warmth! 🔥🏠

Moving day is stressful enough without adding a lockout to the list!

🔐 “IT’S GOING TO COST ME A FORTUNE, ISN’T IT?” 😩😂

We received a call one evening from a customer who was unable to lock her door for the night.

Understandably, she was worried. She had visions of a major repair, a new lock and a rather expensive evening ahead!

Reluctantly, she gave us a call and asked if we could take a look.

Thankfully, the problem wasn't anywhere near as dramatic as she had feared. 😅

After inspecting the door, we found that it simply needed a good service and some adjustment.

A little bit of TLC, a few adjustments and some servicing later — and the door was locking and operating as good as new! 🔧🔐

No expensive lock replacement. No unnecessary parts. Just the work that was actually needed.

It's a good reminder that calling a locksmith doesn't always mean it's going to cost the earth.

🔐 𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗦 𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥!

We were recently contacted by a customer who had become concerned about the security of their home.

They wanted to make sure their property was properly protected and asked us to take a look at their existing lock.

After assessing the door, we recommended upgrading the existing lock to a high-security lock designed to provide an additional level of protection.

We fitted the new lock, checked the door and locking mechanism and made sure everything was working correctly before we left.

Sometimes it's not about waiting until something goes wrong — it's about taking a few simple steps to improve your security and give yourself some peace of mind. 🔐
