Locksmith Cover in Fence Houses
Three of our four Fence Houses jobs were uPVC door gearboxes, each failing in a slightly different way. The fourth was a lock change in a house that had just been bought.
Gearbox Faults and a New-Home Lock Change
- The door would not lock or unlock, and the gearbox was replaced. Read the job.
- The gearbox was stuck in the locked position, so the door would not lock or unlock; a new gearbox was fitted. Read the job.
- The handle would not lift to lock because a broken piece had jammed inside the gearbox casing; a new gearbox was fitted. Read the job.
- In a newly bought house the front door lock was too big and easy to snap, so it was changed; window handles with no keys and faulty bedroom window hinges were replaced too. Read the job.
A handle that will not lift, or a door stuck locked or unlocked, usually points to the gearbox rather than the cylinder. See uPVC door lock repair in Fence Houses and lock repair in Fence Houses.
