uPVC Doors:

A professional uPVC door repair can easily save you the cost of a replacement door. uPVC doors are the most common doors fitted to homes across the UK. These doors are great, however there are many parts to them, and they will all fail over time. Luckily, when you call a Qualified Master Locksmith, we can replace parts and get the door back to full working order at a fraction of the cost of a new door.

If you have a uPVC door that won’t unlock, we can get it open without damage.

When you call The Property Locksmith, the locksmith will ask a few questions to identify the most likely problem, and then they’ll advise you on expected costs and the method of uPVC door repair; confirmation will be made on site before the job is carried out.

Once the uPVC door repair is complete, the door will be checked for alignment and adjusted to its optimum working position. The multipoint locks will be lubricated, and you’ll be given advice on how to take care of your door after we’ve left and what symptoms to look out for in the future.

uPVC Door repairs near me: At The Property Locksmith, we are carrying out uPVC door repairs on a daily basis, and therefore carry a wide range of multipoint lock replacement parts to suit all types of door.

Multipoint Locks:

This refers to a locking system with a strip running down the edge of the door, typically with bolts, hooks and rollers which engage with the plates mounted in the door frame. Typically found on UPVC doors and composite doors but can also be found on wooden doors.

There are many issues that you can face with Multipoints, but as specialists, we can identify these, and resolve them with the least amount of fuss possible. Common issues include:

  • UPVC Door or Window will not lock

  • Handle is jammed or not wont lift fully

  • UPVC lock is jammed or stuck

  • Key will not turn

  • Door hinge misalignment

While we do always aim to repair/adjust, it is common for parts to need replacing after years of use. There are thousands of variations of multipoint locks, but as an experienced locksmith, we carry a wide range of sizes, finishes and various locking options to deal with almost any situation. We are expert at repairing or replacing any of these mechanisms when they misbehave.

Euro Cylinders:

These are the main locking mechanism for a upvc door. It is the part that the key engages with. Euro cylinders go through a lot of use, and are one of the more frequent parts to a upvc door that needs replacing. As experienced & qualified locksmiths, we will always give you some choice before replacing your euro cylinder.

  • Standard security cylinder

  • Thumb-turn cylinder

  • High security, BS TS007 3 Star cylinder

  • Anti snap cylinder

  • Different finishes / colour

A common euro cylinder fault is a slipped cam. This happens when someone attempts to use a key in a lock that already has one on the inside. This isn’t actually a uPVC door repair, as the fault is with the cylinder. The usual sign that you have a slipped cam is the inability to remove the key when the lock is operated. Euro cylinder lock repairs will be carried out where possible.
