1. 🌬️ Can a Locksmith Help if My Door Warps in Winter?

Yes, and it’s more common than you think. When doors swell from cold or damp, it can cause alignment issues that make locks stick or fail.

The Lock Wizard – Locksmith Swindon can:
🛠️ Re-align your door frame
🔧 Adjust your strike plate or hinges
🔐 Upgrade the lock if damage has occurred

Don’t force a warped door—let a pro sort it safely.

2. 🔋 What Happens If My Smart Lock Battery Dies?

Most smart locks have low-battery warnings, but if you’re caught off-guard:
🔑 Some models include a physical key override
🔌 Others allow emergency USB battery backup
📱 You can often get access through an app-connected user nearby

Tip: Schedule monthly checks on your smart lock’s battery—especially before going away.

3. 🐾 Can a Locksmith Secure My Pet Door?

Absolutely. Pet doors are a sneaky access point for burglars—especially on back doors.

Solutions include:
🚫 Pet flaps with manual or electronic locks
🎯 Motion-activated access tied to your pet’s microchip
🔒 Reinforced panels that cover the flap when you’re away
