Do you charge a call-out fee in NG11?
No. Max never charges a call-out fee anywhere in Wilford or the wider NG11 area. You only pay for the work done and any parts fitted.
How quickly can you get to Wilford in an emergency?
Max covers Wilford and NG11 daily, so most emergency call-outs are reached quickly — usually within around 30 minutes depending on traffic. Call or WhatsApp for a realistic time.
Lock Repairs & Replacement
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a door lock?
In most cases repairing is cheaper. A worn cylinder, sticking mortice lock or multipoint mechanism can often be repaired on the first visit. Max will tell you honestly which makes sense.
Can you change all the locks after I move into a new house?
Yes — a full lock change is one of Max’s most common jobs in Wilford, on both the village houses and the Compton Acres estate. He supplies and fits replacement cylinders, mortice locks and full lock sets, including anti-snap upgrades.
My mortice lock is stiff and hard to turn — is that a problem?
It’s usually an early sign the lock is wearing or the door has dropped on its hinges. Caught early, Max can often service or repair it.
uPVC & Composite Doors
My uPVC door won’t lock when I lift the handle — can you fix it?
Yes — a common job on the Compton Acres estate. It usually means the multipoint gearbox or a locking point has failed. Max carries gearboxes and parts in the van.
Can you repair a patio or sliding door that’s dropped?
Yes. Sliding and patio doors often drop or stick as the rollers wear. Max realigns them, replaces worn rollers and repairs the mechanism.
Do you work on the older homes in Wilford Village?
Yes. The period cottages and houses in Wilford Village often have timber doors and mortice locks. Max repairs and upgrades these, keeping the character while bringing security up to standard.
Window Repairs
Can you fix a window that won’t lock or stay shut?
Yes. Failed window locks, snapped handles, worn espagnolette mechanisms and dropped friction hinges are all common — Max repairs uPVC and aluminium windows across NG11. Usually far cheaper than a whole new window.
My window handle has snapped — can you just replace the handle?
Yes. In most cases the handle, espag mechanism or hinges can be replaced individually. Max carries common window hardware in the van.
Security & Insurance
Do you fit anti-snap locks for insurance in Wilford?
Yes. Many Wilford homes have insurers asking for anti-snap, British Standard (BS3621) or TS007 3-star cylinders. Max supplies and fits them and advises on what meets your policy.
Do you fit smart locks and keypad entry in Wilford?
Yes. Max fits keypad and smart locks for homes and rentals across NG11, advising on which models are genuinely secure.
What should I do if my key snapped in the lock?
Don’t force the broken piece — call Max. He’ll extract the snapped key and repair or replace the lock as needed.
Emergencies & Lockouts
Can you help if I’m locked out of my house at night?
Yes — Max runs a genuine 24/7 emergency service across Wilford. Call directly and Max will get to you, gain entry and sort the lock, with no extra charge for nights, weekends or bank holidays.
Landlords, Rentals & Commercial
Do you do lock changes for landlords and rentals?
Yes. With some rental housing across Wilford, Max does lock changes between tenancies, master-key setups and planned maintenance for landlords, with invoicing and certificates.
Can you handle locks for local businesses?
Yes. Max does commercial lock work for businesses around Wilford and Compton Acres — lock changes, repairs, master keys and out-of-hours call-outs.
Credentials & Guarantee
Are you insured and DBS checked?
Yes. Max is fully insured and DBS checked, with a 12-month warranty on the work. You’re dealing directly with Max — not a national call centre — so you know exactly who’s coming to your home.
