A common issue we’re called out for as local locksmiths in Weymouth has to do with stiff or sticking uPVC door lock mechanisms. Professionals like us can usually fix this issue with ease; however, sometimes, uPVC door lock repairs may be required. Below, we explain why your door lock mechanism may be experiencing this problem.
When it comes to our uPVC door repairs, a common reason for door mechanism problems is changes in weather. As a material, uPVC can expand or contract if there are sudden changes between hot and cold weather. If your door is correctly aligned, there should be reasonable movement to maintain this tolerance for weather changes.
If you notice an issue with your door’s alignment, this will need to be adjusted to resolve the situation. Correcting the alignment may involve taking apart the locking mechanism from the door and removing any hinges or panels to apply the necessary tolerances for the door to function properly.
Please be warned, you shouldn’t attempt to complete door alignment work yourself as this a highly complex process. Local locksmiths C & S Locksmiths can perform door realignment work alongside our other core services, such as specialist key cutting, CCTV installations (CCTV system setup) and Ultion lock supply.
