UVPC Locksmiths

Parade Locksmiths specialise most in UVPC Locks, a very common locks used in the UK due to it being an attachment on UPVC doors.

A regular fault on UPVC locks is misalignment which causes the lock to become stiff as there is strain on the multipoint mechanism, this happens over time and harsh weather onditions can also play a factor in the misalignment. When a multipoint mechanism comes under pressure it will then begin to damage the internal workings, eventually leaving you unable to lock or unlock your door.

However, this can be prevented by calling Parade Locksmiths when you start to hear a different noise from your locking mechanism, you may even feel cracking when you lift the handle. Preventing the worst is what we want, as there isn’t anything worse than having to replace the whole mechanism or worse being locked out!

Due to the UPVC lock being a very common lock in England, intruders have found ways of removing them from the doors which allows them access to your property. We recommend the Snap-Safe Euro Cylinders for your UPVC lock, these are lock snap resistant and keep your home secure from anyone trying to gain entrance without permission.
