Locksmith Cover in Belmont
A brand-new uPVC door should lock easily. The Belmont one did not, and the reason was how it had been hung, not the lock fitted to it.
Our Work in Belmont
A new door that was hard to lock
After a new uPVC door was fitted, the customer struggled to lift the handle: the door sat too far from the keep, so the hooks caught on it. The door was realigned to the right position and then locked easily. Read the job.
A door that has always been stiff to lock is often an alignment fault and can usually be adjusted rather than replaced; see uPVC door lock repairs in Durham.
A new door can be the cause. Fitters set a uPVC door so that its hooks and bolts meet the keeps on the frame; if it is hung too far away, the hooks catch on the keeps and the handle needs forcing. It is an adjustment of the door, not a fault in the lock, and leaving it puts strain on the gearbox.
