Stiff locks, worn cylinders and broken handles
uPVC and composite doors use a multi-point lock that runs the full height of the door. When the key gets hard to turn or the handle goes floppy, it's a sign something is worn and should be looked at before it fails completely.
Signs you need this
Does this sound familiar?
- The key is stiff or only turns with force
- The handle is loose, floppy or won't spring back
- The door won't lock unless you push or pull it
- Window handles that won't lock or have snapped

Questions
Common questions
What is an anti-snap cylinder?
It's a lock cylinder designed to resist a common break-in method where the cylinder is snapped. Tell us your door type and we'll recommend a suitable one.
My key is getting stiff. Should I wait?
It's better not to. A stiff key often means the door has dropped or the gearbox is wearing, and fixing it early is usually simpler.
Do you fix window locks and handles?
Yes, window handles and locking mechanisms on uPVC and aluminium windows.
