Track or check an order

Orders may be dispatched directly from Lock Shop Direct, a manufacturer or a fulfilment partner, and an order containing several products may arrive in more than one parcel.

Check your emails

Look for your order confirmation and dispatch email. Please also check your junk or spam folder. If a tracked delivery service is used, the dispatch message may contain the carrier name and tracking link.

Check the expected timescale

Some products require key cutting, keyed-alike preparation, manufacturer assembly or specialist delivery. The product page, order confirmation or a later update may therefore show a longer lead time than an ordinary stock item.

Contact us when you need help

If no tracking information was supplied, the expected delivery date has passed or the carrier status has not moved, email us with your Lock Shop Direct order or web reference, the name used to place the order and the delivery postcode.

Please protect your payment information. Do not send full card numbers, card security codes, online-banking passwords or other payment credentials by email or through a general contact form.

Help identifying a replacement product

Locks and hardware that look similar can have different dimensions, fixing positions and operating functions. Clear photographs and accurate measurements give us the best chance of identifying a suitable replacement.

  • A clear photograph of the complete product in position
  • Photographs of the front, back, edge and fixings where relevant
  • Any manufacturer name, logo, code or other marking
  • All important measurements in millimetres
  • The door, window, cabinet, gate or panel material
  • Your previous order number, if the item came from us

Start with the measurement guides. They explain which dimensions normally matter for cylinders, mortice locks, multipoint locks, handles, window hardware, cam locks and other products.

Our team can help narrow down suitable products, but measurements, handing, compatibility, fire or escape requirements and the final product specification should always be checked before ordering or installation.

Keys and planned access systems

Replacement and additional keys

Key cutting and restricted keys

For a replacement key, provide the manufacturer, key number or code and a clear photograph where possible. Restricted or registered key systems may also require a security card, letter of authority or other evidence that you are authorised to order the key.

Designed systems

Master key and keyed-alike systems

Tell us how many doors or locks are involved, who needs access to which areas and whether future expansion is likely. We can help turn this into a clear keying plan before manufacture.
