Multi Pont Mech - Commonly found on UPVC doors!
Multi point mechanism also known as a gearbox is the main part of all UPVC, composite doors and drives the hooks and bolts. The lock or cylinder is a separate item to this part. This is the part that the handles operate. If your door has dropped or has become hard
to use then this will be the part that is effected, These parts today are often replaced and not repaired. You need a good deal of training to be able to deal with the fitting and adjustment of these parts, so its best to always use a locksmith for the replacement. Never try it yourself as it will cost you more money when you make the situation worse and the locksmith has to spend hour sorting out your issue. Normally these can be opened and replaced within the hour. They cost anything from £28 to £250 depending on make and model.

Mortise Door Lock - Common in wooden doors!
These mortise locks are a pain for locksmith to deal with, most of us hate dealing them as they are difficult to work on, they are extremely hard to pick open with a very high skill level required. It takes around 3000 hours
of practice to be able to turn up to a random door with no lock brand ID and to be able to use speciality tools to open these locks. The tools alone are in the £1000s of pounds for all the different variants to buy. Then add in the fact we are on our knees for up to an hour or more in the cold, dark wet, with a customer that wants to be in fast. It all adds pressure as we are listening for small scrapes and clicks inside the lock. For this reason most locksmiths will charge £80 plus for entry. But expect to pay around £120 to £180 for entry and new lock fitted. Once the door is open the locksmith then may have to work on the wood, resizing the mortice hole and using fillers, paints etc.

🚨 Warning: Scam Locksmiths & Overcharging Practices
Many rogue locksmiths list themselves at the top of Google ads, appearing as "local experts," but their pricing tells a different story:
❌ Call-out fees hidden in small print – Often £100–£150 before labour even begins.
❌ Night rates are doubled – Charging £190+ per hour for late-night services on top of the call out fee.
❌ Massively inflated parts pricing – Locks that should cost £25 may be sold for £90–£120.
❌ Fake reviews & misleading claims – Locksmiths with hundreds of online reviews but operating for just a few years may have paid for fake ratings.
✔ How to Spot a Legitimate Locksmith
✅ No excessive call-out fees for normal hours – A real locksmith only charges extra for extreme conditions (snow, black ice, late-night emergencies).
✅ Fair parts pricing – We charge cost price for parts, not inflated margins.
✅ Established reputation – Taylors Locksmiths Gateshead has been trusted since 1948, with real customer reviews and transparent service.

💡 Why Do Locksmiths Charge More at Night?
Calling a locksmith at 2AM means they’re getting out of bed, gathering tools, and disrupting family time. That’s why late-night jobs reasonably cost more, but prices should still be fair.
At Taylors Locksmiths, we never exploit urgent situations—our rates remain fixed and transparent, ensuring you pay only what’s necessary.
