Hames Locksmiths Lock Security

Hames and Sons Locksmiths, uPVC door lock specialist

Do you work on uPVC and Composite doors?

Absolutely. As a dedicated uPVC lock specialist in Kent, we provide expert solutions for all aspects of uPVC and composite door locking systems and multi-point mechanisms. Whether your door has become difficult to lock, or the handle has gone floppy, our team provides a comprehensive repair service to restore your security.

⁠Specifically, we carry an extensive range of replacement gearboxes, high-security cylinders, anti-snap locks, and handles directly on our mobile vans.

Therefore, we can usually complete complex realignments or full mechanism replacements during our first visit. In addition, we focus on non-destructive entry and repair methods to ensure we maintain the integrity of your door frame.

⁠Furthermore, we provide expert advice on upgrading to anti-snap locks for both uPVC and composite doors to prevent common burglary methods.

Top Tip- ⁠To ensure your property remains secure, we recommend a simple maintenance routine twice a year. Specifically, you should apply a high-quality silicone-based lubricant or graphite powder to your lock cylinders and multi-point mechanisms.

⁠Therefore, you will prevent the internal components from seizing or becoming stiff over time. Furthermore, if you notice your uPVC door handle feels “crunchy” or requires extra force to lift, you should contact a professional immediately.

⁠In addition, forcing a stiff handle often leads to a total gearbox failure, which results in much higher repair costs. Early maintenance and professional realignments save you money and ensure your home stays protected throughout the seasons in Kent.
