Roller Shutter Door Lock repair and replacement in NE1 Newcastle
Securing a Piece of Newcastle’s History on Stowell Street
Recently, Newcastle Commercial and Residential Locksmith Specialists were proud to carry out roller shutter and security lock work for Mr Cheng, better known as Ken, son of Peter Cheng, founder of one of Newcastle’s original Chinatown businesses on Stowell Street.
The site was once a family-run business established in 1978, right at the heart of what would later become Newcastle’s Chinatown. Like many early Chinatown families, the business roots trace back to Newcastle’s West End before settling in the city centre. For decades, families like Ken’s helped shape the character, culture and identity of Newcastle upon Tyne. Being trusted to work on a property with that kind of history is something we do not take lightly.
As the family now prepares to lease the premises to another company, ensuring the building was secure, compliant and properly protected was a key priority.

• Removed a failed large shutter lock
• Installed a new heavy-duty locking solution suitable for city-centre premises
• Ensured smooth operation without stressing the shutter curtain or bottom rail
• Reprogrammed the shutter control system
• Supplied and coded new remote fobs
• Tested full open/close cycles to confirm correct limits and safety operation
Everything was tested thoroughly before handover, no shortcuts and no “that’ll do”.
