UPVC Door Lock Repairs

UPVC door locks are one of the most common types of locks, and are usually installed on UPVC composite doors. The multipoint locking system locks simultaneously when they are locked with a front door key.

Conservatories are usually secured by multipoint locks, ensuring maximum safety in your home. Multipoint locking mechanisms can also sometimes be called 3 point locking systems, so you should keep a look out for people referring to this type of lock too.

Wooden Door Lock Repairs
