Lockright Locksmiths are UPVC Specialists. We can repair and replace your UPVC door locks should they fail. If the door does not lock when it is in the open position then this usually means the doors locking mechanism is faulty, usually resulting in the need for a new mechanism.
If you cannot lock your UPVC door while it is shut but can lock the door in the open position the door may just need re-aligning. The weight of UPVC doors can sometimes lead to the doors dropping from the hinge, resulting in the locking mechanism becoming too low to lock into the guides. If this occurs, the door hinges will need to be adjusted to lift the door back into the correct place or the strikes can be adjusted to suit the mechanism. This will be relatively cheap to fix as there would be no material cost.
Most modern UPVC doors are fitted with a multi-point mechanism. When Multi-point locks on UPVC doors first came out the security was relatively poor and not maintenance free as first thought.
The newer mechanisms have been made much more durable with hooks and bolts that can be used for higher security |
