Lock information

What we do with TOVER hardware

Rim or mortice lock

TOVER is a manufacturer of locking systems. It makes rim locks with one or several locking points, mortice locks for timber doors, locks for metal profiles, cylinders, handles, knobs, padlocks, safes and digital locks. We only work on its mechanical door locks, not on digital locks, padlocks or safes.

Assessing the job and its limits

The first thing is to know how it is fitted: a rim lock sits on the inside face of the door and a mortice lock inside the door leaf. How we open, repair or replace it changes in each case, so we don’t carry the conditions of one over to the other.

Options before you accept the work

We suggest opening the door, repairing the lock or replacing it with a TOVER lock or a compatible one with the same fitting, and give you the price before we start. Opening the door doesn’t guarantee that the lock will be left undamaged.

Lock information

What you can tell us about your TOVER hardware

With a TOVER lock, what helps most is knowing how it is fitted and what it does when you use it. If you are locked out, tell us about that too when you call.

  • Look on the inside to see whether the lock case sits on the door leaf or only the faceplate shows on the door edge.
  • Count how many bolts come out when you lock it with the key.
  • Tell us whether the door closed on the latch or was locked with the key turned.
  • Explain whether the key has snapped, won’t go in or turns without catching.
  • If the door is timber or metal, mention it when you describe the problem.

Identifying your TOVER model

Details to identify the hardware

The TOVER marking, whether it is a rim lock or a mortice lock, how many locking points it has and photos of the door from inside and outside. Don’t send detailed photos of your keys.

Compatibility and availability

With the type of fitting and the measurements we take ourselves, we check the TOVER reference and which lock fits before giving you the price.

Fault or security upgrade with TOVER

A TOVER lock that has failed is not the same as one that works and that you want to make easier to use or more secure.

  • It is a fault when you can’t get in because the door won’t open with your key.
  • So is a bolt that won’t come out or a rim lock case that has come away from the door leaf.
  • It is an upgrade need when the lock works properly but seems too little protection for that door.
  • So is wanting the lock to operate with less effort even though it still works today.

Lock information

What to check after work on TOVER hardware

  • Lock it with the key and check that all the bolts the lock had come out.
  • If it is a rim lock, make sure the case sits firmly on the inside face.
  • Open and close from outside and from inside without forcing the turn.
  • Pull the door shut and check that the latch engages in the strike plate.

What to confirm in your TOVER quote

Opening, repairing or replacing are priced differently; the type of fitting and the number of locking points play a part. VAT is always extra, the price depends on when the service takes place and a supplement applies outside Torrevieja. We give you the price before we start.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about TOVER

What fitting details does a TOVER enquiry need?

Whether the lock sits on the inside face (rim lock) or inside the door (mortice lock), how many locking points it has and what the door is made of. We take the exact measurements ourselves.

Can you work on any TOVER model?

We can’t guarantee it. We open, repair and replace mechanical TOVER locks, but each model is confirmed by its reference. We don’t work on digital locks, padlocks or safes.

Which photos help identify my TOVER hardware?

One of the inside of the door showing the lock, another from outside and another of the door edge if it is a mortice lock. Don’t send detailed photos of your keys.

How is the quote for TOVER confirmed?

With the photos we give you the price before we start, with VAT extra. If the price changes once we open or inspect the lock, we don’t continue without your agreement.

Does this page mean you are an official TOVER service?

No. This page offers guidance on TOVER locks, but it does not represent any official link, authorised distribution or certification with the manufacturer.

What should I do if the case of my TOVER rim lock is moving?

Don’t keep locking it with force, as the play can get worse. Contact us with a photo of the inside face and we’ll check whether the problem is in the fixing or in the mechanism.

Can I ask you to check my TOVER lock after opening the door?

Yes. After opening the door we check with you how the lock has been left and, if it doesn’t work properly, we explain what can be done before going any further.
