Shop lock repairs in Dorset
Multi-unit landlords in Dorset or across the South West can ask for doors to be keyed alike, or set up on a master key.
If a break-in at your Dorset premises leaves a door that will not lock, ring the 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Insurance conditions can name particular lock standards, so check your policy before we change a lock on premises in Dorset or elsewhere in the South West.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.
A lock was damaged in a break-in. What should I do?
Call our 24/7 emergency line, because a door that cannot lock is an emergency, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, but only they can decide whether a claim is paid.
Can I lock a fire exit at night?
Only while the building is empty. Whenever people are inside, an emergency door must open without a key. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets this in England and Wales, and Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own fire safety law.
Can you fit a stronger lock to an aluminium door?
Often yes, within the limits of the door's stile. Narrow aluminium stiles restrict the size of case they can take, so we measure before ordering. A three-star cylinder and a good hookbolt are common improvements, and a stronger keep can help too.
