Common Locksmith Problems in Hastings

Salt Air Corrosion

Living by the sea brings unique challenges. The salt-laden air accelerates corrosion of metal lock components, handles, and hinges. We see this regularly across Hastings, particularly in seafront properties from the Marina to Warrior Square. Our solution involves using marine-grade lubricants and recommending corrosion-resistant hardware.

Period Property Challenges

Hastings’ rich history means many properties still feature original Victorian or Edwardian locks. These characterful homes require specialist knowledge to maintain security while preserving period authenticity. We work regularly on properties throughout the Old Town and Conservation Areas.

UPVC Problems

Modern UPVC installations can suffer in the coastal climate. Mechanisms seize, handles crack, and cylinders become stiff. With extensive experience across Hastings’ newer developments, we carry the parts and expertise to restore your UPVC doors and windows to full working order.
