Locking Mechanisms Explained

Understanding how your door’s locking mechanism works can help you spot potential issues before they become serious. At the heart of most door locks is the cylinder, which is where the key turns to operate the lock. The barrel interacts with the strike plate on the door frame, securing the door in place.

For added security, many uPVC doors use a multipoint locking system, which engages multiple locking points along the frame. Euro cylinder locks are ubiquitous in UPVC doors, but they can be vulnerable to certain types of attacks, such as lock snapping. To counter this, anti-snap locks are available, providing an extra layer of protection. Knowing the basics of your door’s mechanism helps you make informed decisions about upgrades and maintenance, ensuring your security is never compromised.

Fixing a Faulty uPVC Door Gearbox

Why uPVC gearboxes fail

uPVC doors rely on multipoint locking systems: the internal gearbox connects the handle and cylinder to hooks, rollers or deadbolts that secure the door. Over time — or after heavy use or misalignment — internal components (springs, cams, levers) can wear out or break entirely. A failed gearbox or failed multipoint lock can cause the door to stop working correctly, making it difficult or impossible to secure your property.

For any issues with uPVC door lock mechanisms, we recommend calling a professional locksmith to avoid further damage or complications.

uPVC Door Alignment & Mechanism Adjustment

Sometimes the problem isn’t just the lock — it’s the door itself. A misaligned uPVC door can put undue stress on locking components, leading to premature gearbox failure or difficulty locking/unlocking.

Proper alignment often prevents further gearbox issues and extends the lifespan of your uPVC door system.
