This means that some "locksmiths" can charge way over the odds to fix. I've even heard of some people being charged more for a new pvc door mechanism than they originally did for the door!!! But don't worry, as we can fit you a new upvc door lock mechanism or euro lock and will do so at a very reasonable price.

The first thing to mention is that, if you are having difficulty locking your pvc door lock, phone us straight away. We can usually adjust the door or lock and prevent any more damage being done to your door mechanism. This obviously prevents you from having to buy a new one and so saves you money. If you leave it and the problem isn't rectified, you may well break the gearbox on your door mechanism, resulting in you needing it replaced. If your double glazing door or double glazing door lock is already broken it is usually one of two things. Either the mechanism is faulty or your euro cylinder is faulty. You can tell which it is quite easily. If the problem seems to be with the key turning incorrectly, then it is most likely a broken euro lock (cylinder).

If however, the problem seems to be with the handle, then it is most likely a broken door mechanism. This is the bigger of the two jobs. In either case, if you call us, we can normally diagnose the problem and quote for you over the phone. If it's a problem with the cylinder, we will be able to fix the problem straight away, in one visit. If it's a problem with your pvc door lock mechanism, we will have to get it open for you and replace it. We can usually have a new mechanism on your door and working within two hours of arriving at your house.

The other thing worth mentioning about double glazing door security, is the extra security which can be fitted. You have the option of changing your euro cylinder for anti snap, bump resistant cylinders. You can replace your handles for more secure, anti snap upvc door handles. You can also fit sash jammers. These are essentially door bolts for pvc doors.
