Our Work in Framwellgate Moor
An auto-locking door that was hard to open
The door was hard to open because of a fault in its auto-locking mechanism. Rather than replacing the whole locking strip, the auto-locking was taken out so the door locks manually, which cost the customer far less; an anti-snap thumbturn was fitted to make it easier to use. Read the job.
For other multipoint and gearbox faults, see uPVC door lock repairs in Durham.
Auto-locking doors throw their hooks out as soon as the door shuts. When that mechanism fails, the usual answer is a new locking strip; converting it to a door you lock with the handle and key keeps the door secure and avoids that cost, and the thumbturn means it opens from inside without hunting for a key.
