EN Locksmith of Herts: Goff’s Oak, Waltham Cross EN7 5RJ
Working in the vicinity of Byway Cycles
Goffs Oak, a village in the area, derives its name from the Goff family, who were significant landowners in the region.
The village is best known for its iconic Old Oak tree, which stood for centuries before it finally fell in the 1950s. A replacement tree was planted, but it too fell during the intense storm of 1987. The village centre is marked by a War Memorial that was unveiled on 20 December 1920. The memorial is inscribed with the names of 32 men from the village who lost their lives in the First World War, and three more names were added following the Second World War. In the past, the houses located northeast of the memorial served as the village police station. Adjacent to the police station was a civil defence siren, which underwent regular testing in the 1960s as part of the country’s national defence during the height of the Cold War.

The locks on uPVC doors are identified by a mechanism that requires users to lift the handles and turn the key to secure them. They are typically installed on double-glazed doors but are now also popular on new composite doors. One advantage of this type of lock is that it secures the door to the frame in three locations (top, bottom, and middle), unlike traditional locks that only have one position. However, the maintenance of these locks can be more complex and expensive if they need to be replaced. The lock itself is similar to a Euro lock cylinder and can be easily replaced with anti-drill and anti-snap locks, which we recommend as a replacement option.
If you have trouble lifting the handles with the door closed, it is usually a sign that the door is not properly shut or that the mechanism controlling the locking process is misaligned with the frame. We recommend that you contact a qualified locksmith to inspect the door and realign it with the frame to prevent costly repairs or potential security risks. You can easily book our locksmiths to adjust and service these locks by calling our office number 0800 707 4203.
