Much of this side of Sheffield was built as the Mosborough townships in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, which means a lot of uPVC doors now reaching the age where their locks wear out. This page explains what fails, what it costs, and what we find in the older village too.
Our route to Mosborough and Halfway
From Broughton Lane we take the Parkway and the A57 out past Handsworth, then follow the Mosborough Parkway south. That gets us to Halfway, Westfield and Mosborough village without crossing the city centre, which keeps times steadier than for the west of Sheffield. Expect 20 to 35 minutes; the Crystal Peaks roundabouts at busy shopping times are the main thing that slows us down.
We also cover the neighbouring S20 districts on our Beighton, Waterthorpe and Hackenthorpe page.
Why so many Mosborough uPVC doors stop locking
A uPVC door with a multipoint lock is reliable for years, but the parts inside wear in a predictable order. On the township estates many doors are now twenty to thirty years old, and some are still on their original mechanism.
| What wears | What you notice | What we do | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hinges and door alignment | You have to lift the handle hard or push the door to lock it | Adjust the hinges and keeps | £20 |
| Gearbox in the centre of the lock | Handle floppy, or key turns without locking | Replace the gearbox or the whole strip | £40 |
| Euro cylinder | Key stiff or catches; no star rating on the face | Fit a new cylinder, ideally TS007 3 star | £20 |
| Handles and springs | Handle droops or does not spring back | Replace the handle set | quoted on the phone |
The important point is to act on the first symptom. A door that has to be forced puts load on the gearbox, and once that breaks the door can jam locked or refuse to lock at all. Our multipoint lock repair page goes into the parts in more detail, and door handle replacement covers droopy handles.
Mosborough village: older stone houses and timber doors
Before the estates arrived, Mosborough was a hilltop village on the edge of the Moss Valley, and the old core around High Street still has stone cottages, older terraces and larger period houses, with Mosborough Hall nearby. These homes bring a different set of jobs from the estates.
- Solid timber doors with old 2 or 3 lever mortice locks, which we upgrade to a 5 lever BS3621 lock from £75.
- Rim nightlatches on front doors, where a double locking version from £45 stops the latch being slipped.
- Doors that swell and drag in winter, which usually need easing and the keep moving rather than a new lock.
- Outbuildings and garden gates, with padlocks from £20 and gate lock replacement for side access.
Opening these doors takes more care than a modern uPVC door. Old timber can split if it is forced, and some of the locks are no longer made, so we try non-destructive methods first and, if a lock has to come out, we tell you what will replace it and what it costs before we touch it. If a stone cottage door frame has been damaged in a break in or by age, our door repair service starts from £79, and we can board up a damaged door the same night if it cannot be made secure straight away.
Halfway, the tram terminus and the park and ride
Halfway is the end of the Supertram line, with a park and ride beside the stop. That brings two kinds of call we rarely get elsewhere. The first is someone arriving home on the last tram to find their keys are still at work or in a bag left in town. The second is a driver at the park and ride who has locked the car keys inside the car.
For the first, our locked out service gets you into the house, non-destructive first, from £59. For the second, we open cars from £65 through our car lockout service. We do not cut, program or replace car keys, so if the keys are lost rather than locked inside, you will need a main dealer or auto specialist.
Lost your keys in S20? Rekey, replace or upgrade
If your keys are lost or stolen, especially with something that shows your address, the lock needs dealing with. You have three options, and the right one depends on the lock and the door.
Rekey the lock
The existing lock stays, the internals change, and old keys stop working. Good for decent quality locks.
From £25.
Replace the cylinder
Quickest fix on uPVC and composite doors, and the chance to move up to an anti-snap grade.
From £20.
High security upgrade
For doors that face a quiet path or back onto open ground, a high security lock adds protection.
From £120 fitted.
Our guide on how to avoid being locked out has ideas for stopping it happening again, and lock replacement in Sheffield explains the work in more depth.
Owlthorpe and newer S20 homes
Owlthorpe and the newer pockets around Westfield have more recent houses with composite front doors and uPVC patio doors. The doors are in better shape, so the jobs here are mostly about keys and cylinders: lost keys, doors pulled shut, and owners who want a better cylinder than the one fitted at build. We fit TS007 3 star and Sold Secure SS312 Diamond cylinders, and our page on anti-snap cylinders explains the ratings.
If anyone vulnerable is locked inside, or a hob or bath is running, call 999 first, then us.
