If your UPVC windows or doors are damaged, you might be reluctant to get a quote for a repair, and we understand why. If you contact a double glazing company, they may recommend replacing a window or door when a locksmith could actually repair the faults for you. The result is better security and peace of mind without the mess and expense of a full replacement.

 

Although UPVC windows are generally very secure, some of them are now ageing, and older types are easier to damage. A flaw in the frame or handle can make it easier for a burglar to force the window open, especially if the lock is corroded. We always recommend that you have faults in your UPVC windows inspected as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to have your UPVC window handles replaced by a locksmith when you move in to a new property, just to be sure that you have all the keys. This is vital in case of an emergency or fire when you may need to exit the house through a window: not only will you need to unlock the window, but you need to make sure it won’t jam or get stuck.

 

UPVC doors can also develop problems, so it’s important to regularly inspect your doors for signs of damage.

Multi-point lock strips can be replaced without the need for changing the whole door, and new hinges can ensure the door can’t be forced away from its frame. UPVC doors which hang awkwardly may not be flush against the frame, and that can also make it easier for an intruder to wedge them open. An expert can check your doors to make sure they’re not drooping on one side.

 

If your doors open out onto a patio, it’s especially important to ensure they are in good order, since patio doors often give burglars a clear view of what’s inside your home. Many insurance companies will insist you have very specific locks on your patio doors for this reason. If you don’t have Kite marked cylinder locks and five point locks on your patio doors, we’ll fit them for you to make sure you’re satisfying all the requirements of your home insurance policy. A good locksmith can inspect the rollers and tracks on sliding doors to make sure your patio doors can’t easily be forced, and replace any tilt and turn mechanisms on doors and windows which may have become loose or difficult to use.
