Double Glazing Door Lock Repairs



Have your uPVC window or door mechanism started to fail? Perhaps the handles on
your uPVC windows and doors aren't aligned properly or are difficult to use.



It is crucial that your double-glazed doors function smoothly, or else you will
lose energy and increase the likelihood of burglary. Owen the Locksmith can
repair your door lock at reasonable costs.



Snapped Key



If a key breaks in a lock, it can be extremely difficult. It could also be a
security risk in that it can make you vulnerable to a burglar if the door does
not lock. There are a few easy fixes you can make to repair the issue and make
your door functional again.



Be sure to remain calm. If you panic and begin playing around with your keys you
may end up pushing the broken piece of the key further into the lock, which
could make the situation much worse.



Next, spray WD-40 or another penetrating oil into the lock to help the broken
piece slide out more easily. You can also employ a screwdriver in order to break
up any stuck pieces that might be hindering the flow. If you're lucky enough to
have a bit of the key sticking out and you want to remove it, use a paperclip or
some other metal object with a thin surface to grab it and remove it. Both
methods work, but you must be careful not to push the broken key piece further
into the keyway.



Some paperclips come with grooved edges which can be used as hook extractors.
Jigsaw blades can also work well for this. If you don't have any of these items
you can bend a hook using needle-nosed pliers. Additionally, a pair of tweezers
is a good way to grasp and pull out the last part of the broken key.



If you are unable to get the broken piece of key out, try using a lock de-icer.
It's available in many hardware stores and works by freezing any moisture
present within the lock.



If none of these strategies are working, it might be time to call in a
locksmith. The experts at Fitlocks can quickly fix issues such as broken handles
or broken keys with uPVC locks and door mechanisms. They can also reconfigure
double glazing door mechanisms to ensure that they are more easy to operate. You
can book a double-glazing repair online or contact us to discuss your needs.



Broken Cylinder



A damaged cylinder poses an extremely risky security issue. A professional
locksmith can easily fix the cylinder. To fix the cylinder, locksmiths must tap
it. This can be done with a hammer or other tool. However, the most effective
method is to make use of a wire or a long match. Place the match or wire's end
close to the keyway. The locksmith will strike the lock to crack it open. This
is much safer than using a heavy hammer that can harm the lock.



The most frequent cause for cracks in the head of a cylinder is due to
overheating. This can happen when the cylinder block as well as the cylinder
head are made of various metals, like cast iron and aluminum. Different metals
can heat up and cool off at different rates. This can cause localized hotspots
to expand quicker than the rest.



Another possible cause of cylinder cracks is corrosion. If the cylinder head as
well as the block of the cylinder are not properly maintained, this can result
in corrosion or rust that could cause them to expand at a a higher rate than
they ought to. As time passes, this may also cause cracks.



If your uPVC door or window lock is stiff or requires a lot of pressure to turn,
this could be due to a number of things. A faulty locking mechanism,
misalignment, or the wear of the handle are typical reasons for this issue.



Fortunately it is a simple and affordable fix for the majority of homeowners
with double glazing. A professional locksmith can usually solve this issue
within an hour of arriving at your home. They can fix the locking mechanisms, or
replace the window handles, and also change the gearboxes based on the specific
requirements of your home. A locksmith with experience will always be able to
advise you on the most cost-effective solutions for your home. They may suggest
upgrading to 3 Star TS007 Euro Cylinders that provide an additional layer of
protection from burglars. It's a small price to pay for the security that comes
from knowing your uPVC doors are secure.



Broken Handle



It's not a surprise that window handle locks may break. They have complex
mechanisms that wear out over time. If yours is damaged it may be difficult to
pinpoint the cause of the problem and make sure you fix it properly.



The issue could be in the internal locking mechanism or the latch, fixing the
broken handle will increase your uPVC double glazing door's security as well as
help you stop draughts. Incorrectly repairing or replacing your handle can be
costly and may cause damage to the door's frame and lock, so it's worth taking
some time to make sure you do it correctly.



With the window in the open position, loosen the screw that holds the handle
using the screwdriver. The screw should be on the inside of the back plate, and
is normally covered by an aesthetically pleasing cover for the screw reasons.
You should not lose any internal parts of the handle, such as the plates and
levers on either side. Keep them in the same order so that it is easier to
replace if necessary.



Then, with another screwdriver loosen the screw that connects the handle to the
spindle on the back. Once the screw is released, you'll be in a position to pull
the handle away and pull out the broken spindle. Replace it with a new spindle,
ensuring it's the same length (you can purchase them online or at hardware
stores). Securely screw it into the frame. Be cautious not to overtighten
because this could cause damage to the handle or the window frame.





Close the handle and try it. The hope is that it will function smoothly and
you'll be able to open your window once more.



Don't forget to double-check that your uPVC window is shut properly while you're
working with the handle. If they don't close properly, you could experience damp
or draughts inside your home. You could also compromise the energy efficiency of
your home. A local window company, like Core Sash Windows, will be able to
adjust the hinges on your window frames to ensure they are able to shut
properly.



Broken Spindle



It is usually the case that the spindle within a handle breaks rather than the
handle itself. This is particularly common with uPVC tilt-and-turn windows.
These windows require a handle that acts as a locking device in the window
frame. The handle is connected to a central rod which in turn activates cams
that look like mushrooms, they lock into window frame keeps. If the dead latch
mechanism does not open after the handle has been turned, it's likely the
spindle has been damaged. This could be a frustrating issue.



There are ways to fix this issue. A skilled locksmith can quickly and
efficiently fix this problem. A professional locksmith can disassemble the
window's handle using a tool to take out the wheel from the area in which the
spindle is. This can be done without damage to the handle or the window frame.



Once the wheel has been removed the technician can then inspect the spindle to
determine what caused it to break. repairmywindowsanddoors involves
disassembling the spindle, and then examining each component part, noting any
wear or damage. This process is typically performed in a clean, well-lit room by
highly skilled technicians.



The next step is to clean the damaged spindle, this helps eliminate any dirt or
other debris that could be hindering its normal functioning. The spindle may be
replaced or repaired. If the technician is replacing the spindle, he can use a
dowel that is comparable in size to the original. Then, he will make holes in
the same way into both pieces. This will ensure that the new spindle has
precisely matched to the handle.



If the damaged spindle cannot be repaired, it could need to be replaced
entirely. Home centers sell generic replacements but if the style of your window
is rare then it is necessary to speak with a woodworker or cabinet maker who can
make the exact part for you. After the spindle is installed, it can be attached
to the handle. The screw holes on the handle with the existing screws in the
frame. Once the handle is securely set, you are able to operate your uPVC
windows.
