I've got an old timber door with a mortice lock, not a UPVC. Can you still help?

Absolutely. There's a lot of older timber door stock in Peterlee and mortice locks are bread and butter work for us. Whether it's a lockout, a broken mechanism or you just want to upgrade to a decent five-lever British Standard lock, we carry the parts and can sort it on the same visit in most cases.

Peterlee's a large post-war new town about five miles south-west of central Seaham, so we're typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic through Seaham town centre. The SR8 postcode covers a real mix: 1960s and 70s council-built semis and terraces make up a big chunk of the housing, with plenty of 1980s and 90s owner-occupied estates filling out the newer neighbourhoods. We get a steady flow of jobs here, from straight lockouts on UPVC front doors to cylinder upgrades and boarding work after break-ins.

We come in on the A182 from Seaham, dropping down through Easington Colliery and into Peterlee from the north. Jobs crop up across the estates around Edenhill Road, Howletch Lane and the Sunny Blunts area, as well as the retail and light industrial units on the Jade Business Park. There's a notable amount of older single-glazed timber doors still hanging on in the terrace stock around the town centre. Honestly, some of those original mortice locks haven't been serviced since the 80s, which explains why we get so many calls that start with a key that just stopped turning.

Peterlee FAQ

It can at school run times, usually around 8 to 9 in the morning and half three in the afternoon. Outside those windows the A182 is straightforward and we're with you well inside 20 minutes. If you call during peak hours we'll give you an honest ETA rather than a number we can't hit.
