uPVC Door Lock Repairs

uPVC doors are made from plastic with rigid and robust characteristics, making them highly durable and long-term. Their energy efficiency also helps lower energy bills as they keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer due to excellent insulation properties that prevent heat loss or gain.

uPVC doors are low maintenance, making them an ideal choice for homeowners prioritising easy upkeep. Unlike wood or metal door materials, which require painting or staining to maintain their appearance, uPVC can simply be wiped down with a damp cloth to stay looking its best.

One reason uPVC doors are so popular is their various designs and styles - from traditional to contemporary and customisable with different colours and finishes to match any aesthetic in your Glasgow home or business.

Common Problems With uPVC door locks

Though uPVC doors are typically long-lasting, their locks may eventually experience difficulties over time. One such issue occurs when the door becomes difficult to lock or unlock due to misalignment in its lock mechanism, wear-and-tear of the cylinder, or simply broken keys.

A prevalent door handle issue is when it becomes loose or stiff due to wear and tear or build-up of dirt and debris inside its mechanism. Sometimes this issue requires replacement as its damage has gone beyond repair.

A third issue with uPVC door locks maybe when their lock mechanism fails to engage correctly, possibly due to damage or wear-and-tear on its lock cylinder over time. Sometimes this requires replacing the whole mechanism to ensure the doorway's security.

How Our Glasgow Locksmiths Repair uPVC Door Locks

If you are experiencing issues with your uPVC door lock, you must immediately contact a professional Glasgow locksmith for assessment. A knowledgeable locksmith will be able to determine the source of the problem and recommend appropriate action to address it.

As part of any repair for a uPVC door lock, the initial step should be removing both the door handle and lock cylinder for inspection by our Glasgow locksmith. If necessary, they can identify any problems within the mechanism that needs addressing; otherwise, lock cylinders must be replaced with new ones if damaged.

Step two is aligning the lock mechanism to engage correctly; this may involve adjusting its positioning or replacing damaged components. Once done, reassembling and testing the door handle are performed to ensure everything works perfectly before closing out this process step.

Sometimes, our Glasgow locksmiths may need to replace an entire lock mechanism if it has become inoperable. This process typically involves taking apart and installing a brand new mechanism before testing to ensure everything works as designed before providing you with new keys.

Locks Changed or Replaced

Emergency locksmithing situations arise for various reasons. Here are a few common problems:

  • Lost or Stolen Keys

If your keys have been lost or stolen, you must change your locks immediately - particularly if they were stolen, as thieves could potentially have copies and gain entry to your Glasgow property through these copies of keys.

  • Attempted Break-In or Successful Break-In

If your Glasgow property has been subject to a break-in or attempted break-in, its locks could have been compromised. They should be immediately changed to avoid further attempts at unauthorised access.

  • Malfunctioning Locks

Malfunctioning locks may not provide adequate security, so they must be replaced to protect your Glasgow property.

  • Tenant Changeover

As a landlord, changing the locks after tenants move out is essential to ensuring the security of your property. Even if they return all keys they had previously, you cannot be sure that no unauthorised person gained entry - so changing your locks is the best way to ensure no one gains access without your knowledge or approval.

Types of Locks Available

When selecting a lock for your Glasgow property, various options are available. Here are some of the most frequently chosen ones:

  • Deadbolts

Deadbolts have long been one of the go-to choices for home and business security, providing an extra layer of protection by requiring keys from both inside and outside to open them from within.

  • Knob Locks

Knob locks can provide additional security against intruders; however, they are less reliable due to their potential vulnerability, being easily broken open by force.

  • Smart Locks

Smart locks are a newer type of lock that allows users to manage access to their property through smartphones or keyless entry codes, providing added convenience and security as you can grant or revoke access as necessary.

  • Padlocks

Padlocks are widely used to secure outdoor items like sheds or storage units. There are both combination and key models available.
