Frequently Asked Questions About Our Locksmith Services
Can a UPVC door lock be repaired?
To determine the viability of repairing a UPVC door we strongly encourage that you firstly get in touch with a reputable, local locksmith who possesses the required knowledge and experience needed to undertake repairs of UPVC doors. We at Delta Forge Locksmiths possess a wealth of knowledge relating to UPVC doors in addition to UPVC windows. Our experience is supported by our past experience working with the glazing industry along with the specialist UPVC repair training received from industry leading providers “MPL Locksmith training” one of the few providers in the UK to have their training supported and accredited by industry leading bodies such as City & Guilds and NCFE.
How do I know which UPVC door lock I need?
Due to the vast variations of UPVC door locks available to the UK market. It can be very challenging for you to identify which ones are compatible with your existing UPVC door. There are multiple factors to consider, such as the backset of the existing UPVC door lock, the quantity of locking points within the existing UPVC door lock and the handle positioning of the UPVC door lock. At Delta forge Locksmiths we aim to take the hassle, time and frustration away from our customer by utilising our knowledge and experience, in addition to the support of our dedicated specialist suppliers to carry out a comprehensive repair or replacement of your UPVC door lock.
How do you fix a broken UPVC door lock?
To fix a broken UPVC door lock it’s highly recommended that you possess the required understanding and experience of working with multi point locking mechanisms prior to attempting a repair. UPVC door locks contain many components with varying functions and without the correct knowledge, it can be easy to do more harm than good when attempting a DIY UPVC door lock repair. Doing so can often cost you more in the long term and potentially compromise security if not completed correctly.
How much does it cost to fix locks?
The cost to fix a lock is determined by two factors:
The component(s) of the lock which have failed and require replacement.
Is the repair an emergency outside of normal business hours or can an appointment be made for us to attend during the day? (I.e between 08:30am & 05:00pm)
At Delta Forge Locksmiths, our aim is to provide all of our customers with the best value solution by helping them understand the root of the problem and advising the most economical solution, in order to promptly reinstate our customers security and safety.
Can a door lock be repaired?
It is certainly possible to repair a door lock. An attending locksmith such as ourselves will be able to identify the cause of the broken lock and advise the customer of the appropriate solution in order to promptly restore the ability to lock the door, window or cabinet.
How do you fix a lock that won't turn?
Firstly it’s really important that you do not force a lock that won’t turn. If a lock is difficult to turn, using the appropriate key, you should first consider trying to operate the lock with any spare keys you may have. A potential fault could be that the key has become worn and therefore the cuts on the key may no longer match the configuration within the lock.
Should any spare keys have the same issue, we advise you to try lubricating the lock’s keyway and bolts with the appropriate fluid. This should be done periodically (once a year minimum) as it helps maintain and protect the lock and its internal components. We advise using a silicone based lubricant such as GT85 (available at most supermarkets and leading hardware shops). Due to the small size of components within a lock and the thinner consistency of silicone based lubricants, the fluid has a greater chance of penetrating the various components within the lock to reduce unwanted friction and loosen the various components within the lock.
Should you continue to find that the lock is still unable to turn with the use of the key after following the recommended steps. We recommend you contact an accredited Locksmith such as ourselves for further specialist assistance as it’s likely the issue will be due to a more complex fault within the lock.
