UPVC Door Locksmiths in Newcastle!
UPVC doors are some of the most effective security solutions available - particularly as many are fitted with almost impenetrable multipoint locking systems. However, because of the sophisticated nature of their design, if something goes wrong with a UPVC door lock it can be very difficult to rectify the problem yourself.
That’s why it’s vital that you’re able to contact a trustworthy specialist locksmith whenever you suspect that there might be an issue with your UPVC mechanisms. NLS Security is a family run Newcastle-based firm with over four decades’ worth of experience handling complex lock systems and other security hardware. We’re also UPVC specialists, so don’t hesitate to give us a call if you’re ever having trouble, as we’ll know exactly what to do to get everything working again.
What Exactly Are UPVC Doors?
UPVC stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. This refers to the material from which the frames and door leaves are made - an inflexible and very sturdy plastic that withstands the test of time, does not warp and provides excellent insulation in comparison to other options.
It is highly cost effective - not just because the material itself is very affordable, but also because it is energy efficient, keeping the heat in and the draughts out, and saving you a great deal on your energy bills. UPVC doors and windows also require little to no maintenance, so it’s the perfect material for home or business owners who really don’t need another headache!
UPVC is a comparatively new material, having been invented in the mid 1930s. It was first made commercially available by German window manufacturers in 1959. Its popularity has continued since then, with UPVC doors and window designs going from strength to strength decades down the line. Usually white, it looks sharp and is easy to clean, so it suits modern houses particularly well.
Why Might You Need a UPVC Locksmith?
While UPVC itself is an extremely resilient material, this doesn’t mean that the same old things can’t go wrong with the locks themselves. From keys broken in locks to locks mechanisms becoming jammed or worn through overuse, the team at NLS Security can give you a hand with any of the issues you may be facing.
Multipoint locking systems - common within UPVC doors and highly effective - may still need repairing after an attempted break in attempt. This will also be the case if you have an anti-snap cylinder lock, as, though they can function after the anti-snap mechanism has been compromised, the integral lock may now be exposed. We are aware that times like this can be extremely worrying and disturbing for home and business owners, so our specialists are on hand 24 hours a day to make sure that anything that is broken can be fixed or replaced, and any missing keys can be recut. Our team members are trained by the Master Locksmiths Association, so you can rest assured that all repairs will be done swiftly, efficiently and effectively, so you can enjoy perfect peace of mind and use your UPVC door or window lock as usual straight away.
Cylinder locks are other popular mechanisms for UPVC doors, but these can occasionally stick - particularly if they are the older models. Keys can sometimes get jammed in them too, but we know just what to do under these circumstances. We’ll always attend your property in a timely manner any time of the day or night, and we can guarantee that our friendly experts will be patient, transparent and personable throughout your experience.
