Ashley Security have experienced locksmiths who deal with UPVC problems most days throughout the week. Usually when it is too late and parts need to be replaced. This can be avoided if you call us earlier. These are the signs to look out for:

• The door is difficult to lock when closed, but simple when open

• The lock makes a “crunch” noise when lifting the handle up

• The door has to be slammed to shut or in some cases lifted

Our locksmiths can attend site and carry out routine maintenance visits which will prevent your locks breaking, thus saving you money for expensive parts.

If your handle is now floppy or your lock will not open, it is most likely a door mechanism failure. To help identify your door mechanism, use the below images.
