Why garage locks get left too long
Garage locks tend to be the last thing anyone thinks about, right up until they stop turning or someone has a go at them. On an up-and-over door the original single central lock is often the weak point, and on a lot of older doors it is worn or seized long before the owner notices. If your garage has a connecting door into the house, that door matters as much as your front door does, so it is worth getting it right. I will look at what you have got, tell you straight what is worth doing, and organise the work without any drama.
How the visit works
I come out, check the door and how it locks, then quote you before I touch anything. The price I give is the price you pay. No call-out fee, no VAT, and a 12-month guarantee on every part I fit. Where a door needs more than a straight swap, say extra locking points to stop it being levered, I will explain the options and let you decide. If it is an emergency and you are locked out of the garage, I try non-destructive entry first so you are not paying for a new lock you did not need. Bugsy answers the phone himself, day or night.
I cover Southampton, the Waterside and out into the New Forest, so Hythe, Holbury, Fawley, Blackfield, Dibden, Marchwood, Totton and the villages around them. For most SO45 emergencies I am with you in under 30 minutes. If money is tight, ask. There are standing discounts for older customers and members of the local crime awareness groups, and I will sort something for anyone genuinely struggling.

Can you replace the lock on an up-and-over garage door?
Yes. I replace up-and-over locks, side-hinged and personnel door locks.

I can also fit extra security bolts where it helps stop the door being levered. New keys and a full test come as standard, from £85.
Do I need to worry about the connecting door from my garage into the house?
Yes, that door matters as much as your front door, so it is worth getting right.
