UPVC and double-glazing lock repairs

Doors and windows are often considered by burglars as primary objects for illegal intrusions.

While most people usually take care of front doors and install quality anti-burglar systems on gates and main entrance doors, windows and back doors are often left neglected.

Common UPVC door & window problems

For many years Fitlocks specialists have been helping residents in Brighton to repair and replace their UPVC locks.

As local emergency locksmiths, we have a ton of experience dealing with UPVC door repairs and window lock replacements.

UPVC door or Window misaligned

Composite doors are pretty heavy structures. When new, they are moving pretty smoothly, yet with time the door leaf may sag a bit, which results in certain difficulties when locking the door. But this is a pretty easy fix. A Fitlocks specialist will be able to adjust your UPVC door hinges so the door will fix the frame perfectly well again.

UPVC door not closing

Do not panic if you suddenly are not able to close your UPVC door lock. Like any mechanism, UPVC locks tend to wear out and at a certain point the mechanism may become loose and faulty. At Fitlocks we always carry a wide range of gearboxes and usually we can replace any type of UPVC locking mechanism. You do not need to change the whole door or the whole mechanisms, replacing a multipoint lock usually solves the problem.

Door lock is stiff when open

A stiff lock may indicate that there are problems with the locking mechanism itself or just a faulty cylinder lock. The reasons for that may vary: the lock has worn out and is broken or there can be some debris inside that make the lock stiff.

Fitlocks locksmiths can carry out a full inspection of your door locks and do the necessary maintenance procedures to solve and prevent these issues in the future. If necessary, we wil be able to replace your lock with a new one - we provide 6 months warranty for every lock fitted by us.

Other typical UPVC door issues also include:

A key has snapped in the lock;
A lock is jammed;
A handle is stiff and stuck;
Loose handle;
The UPVC door will not open after being unlocked;
Key goes halfway and will not turn;

These issues may also be handled by a UPVC locksmith. Most UPVC mechanisms can be repaired or replaced. In many cases there is no need to replace the whole mechanism, usually fitting a new center gearbox is enough. Fitlocks professionals always carry many different models of gearboxes, but if there is no model of the same brand in stock, we will also be able to pick up a matching mechanism and install it the same day, supplying it with a 6-months warranty.
