Locksmith Cover in High Barnes
In High Barnes the problem was not one worn part but the whole locking strip along the door edge, so the repair was a full new mechanism rather than a gearbox.
Our Work in High Barnes
A door with major locking problems
The customer was having major problems locking the door. A new multipoint mechanism with a full-length keep was fitted, with new handles, and the door was tested before we left. Read the job.
Why a full mechanism rather than a gearbox? When several parts along the strip are worn, replacing the gearbox alone does not cure it. uPVC door lock repairs in Sunderland explains the difference.
A gearbox can be replaced on its own when only the gearbox has failed. On a door whose problems are spread along the whole locking strip, worn hooks, rollers and keeps, the full multipoint mechanism is the lasting repair, with a full-length keep so every locking point has something solid to engage with.
