Different types of locks and replacement needs
Due to our experience in handling all types of products possible, we will identify when it is time to install new locks.
- Rim cylinder locks: When repair is not the option, our locksmith team will replace the lock barrel. Installation of the new unit is the ultimate step and we will take it only when nothing else works. In such cases, we replace everything and this includes the lock casing.
- UPVC locks: Sometimes, the door might only require some realigning. We will install new locks when the mechanism -the MPL or multipoint unit fails. When that happens, we will open the door to replace the mechanism.
- Mortice locks: Most times, the failure of this lock is due to vandalism. Thugs might put some foreign body or superglue inside. Attempted burglary will also damage or bend the locks when the thieves try to kick open the door. We will install new locks on an emergency basis when this happens.
Install new locks-what is the procedure
To install new locks, we will follow the specifications of the manufacturers. This will ensure effective operations just as it was meant. Before we can use the new product, however, our team first removes the existing locks. Take deadbolts for example. Here we will dissemble the apparatus by unscrewing. This proves to be more complicated in doorknobs. For this, we have the required tools, like the plug follower, spanner, and the catch tool. Catch tool is for removing the handle or the knob. After the removal of the old lock, we may even have to address the associated holes. This is to install new locks. If the brand and model is same, this will not be necessary.
