A salon in Stainforth, DN7, contacted SF Locksmith after its front door handle started spinning freely. Staff could no longer secure the premises.
The business needed to lock up that evening, so a prompt repair was essential. We attended the same day.
Failed Maco Gearbox After 23 Years
We found that the Maco multipoint locking gearbox had failed after more than 23 years of use. That is an impressive lifespan for a busy commercial entrance.
We fitted a genuine Maco replacement gearbox and realigned the door so the locking mechanism worked smoothly.
Repair rather than replace. Although the gearbox had failed, the rest of the locking mechanism was still serviceable. Replacing only the faulty component saved the customer the cost of a complete replacement.
Existing Keys Retained – No Disruption
We kept the original lock cylinder, so the salon could continue using its existing keys. With several staff members holding keys, this avoided the cost and inconvenience of replacing them.
New gearbox, same keys, fully working door. Every member of staff could continue using their existing keys without interruption.
Salon Secure Before Closing
After the repair, we tested the handles, locking mechanism and door alignment. Everything worked smoothly again, allowing staff to lock up securely that evening.
