I've got an old timber door on a cottage in the village. Can you upgrade the lock without replacing the whole door?

Yes, in most cases. We can fit a British Standard five-lever mortice lock into an existing timber door as long as the frame and door thickness are sound. We carry the right kit to assess and fit on the same visit, so you're not waiting for a second appointment.

Finningley's a quiet village sitting just off the A614 in DN9, roughly a 10-minute drive from our base in central Bawtry. The housing's a real mix, older brick cottages and farmhouse-style properties along the main village lanes, plus 1980s and 1990s semis on the edges, and a handful of newer builds closer to the Doncaster Sheffield Airport boundary. We get called out here for lockouts, cylinder upgrades and door mechanism failures across all those property types fairly regularly.

Jobs tend to come from the lanes around Church Road and the older properties near St Oswald's Church, where you'll find traditional timber doors that haven't been touched in decades. We come in via the A614 from Bawtry, turning off towards the village centre. There's also a cluster of 1990s semis with UPVC doors that are well overdue a multipoint mechanism service. Honestly, Finningley's older cottage stock has some of the most neglected door furniture we see on any call-out in the DN9 area.

Finningley FAQ

Not usually. We come in on the A614 from Bawtry and turn off before the airport approach roads, so we're not caught up in airport traffic. Most call-outs in Finningley village itself take us 15-20 minutes depending on time of day.
