Key Won't Turn

Composite doors are a great alternative to traditional uPVC doors, offering increased security and energy efficiency, as well as attractive good looks. With their low maintenance and high levels of durability, these doors are a popular option for commercial and residential properties. Like all doors, they will require some attention and maintenance over time to maintain both their appearance and functionality. One of the most frequent issues with composite doors is that they can become stuck, making them difficult to open and close as well as lock. This is a common issue that can be fixed by lubricating the locking mechanism as well as the cylinder. While it may be tempting to go for WD-40 instead, we suggest using a silicone or graphite-based lubricant. Lubricants made of oil can be harmful to your door locks.

Lock cylinders and mechanisms are exposed to the weather on a daily base, which means they'll wear out over time. This can cause the components to become loose or corrode, which could make it difficult for you to unlock your composite door.

A lock cylinder that has fallen could cause the door to be misaligned making it difficult to lock or close. A local Locksmith can replace the cylinder and ensure that the whole locking mechanism is working again.

We recommend that you pull the handle upwards or throw it each time you close the door. This will ensure the locks are fully engaged and will prevent further damage.

Sticky Locks

The locking mechanism on composite doors may become stuck and make it difficult to insert the key, turn it, or take it out. This is usually due to dust and debris accumulation in the internal mechanism. You can fix this by applying lubricant on the cylinder and latch. Lubricant is available as an aerosol spray or powder that can be applied using brushes, like graphite powder. Avoid using petroleum-based lubricants, such as WD-40 or sewing machine oil, as they could further harm your lock.

Another common problem with composite doors is the hinges falling. The hinges may fall off if they are not regularly oiled. This is particularly true if the door is heavily used or is frequently used. This problem can be solved by adjusting the hinges.

The weather seals could get worn out or loose as time passes. This can allow draughts to be introduced into the home, as well as rainwater. A new weather seal is available at any hardware store or online retailer and must be put in place according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In the majority of cases, you can fix this by adjusting hinges or the mechanism of the lock.

Spraying a thin layer of lubricant on the hinges and locking mechanism every six months can help to prevent this. This will help to ensure that they move effortlessly without resistance.

To keep your composite doors in good condition, it is important to maintain them regularly. Using a door maintenance kit can help to keep them looking great and aid in preventing stains. You can find this at your local hardware store or online for an affordable price.

If your handles are unable to be lifted to unlock or are having to be forced into this, it could be an indication that they need realigning or that the gearbox is malfunctioning. You can fix this problem yourself by loosening the center screws on each hinge, lifting them until they reach the desired location and then tightening them.

If you've tried to adjust the hinges or handle's position, but are unable to get the door to open there could be an issue with your cylinder. Locksmiths can replace the locks by installing the new multipoint lock, or a new cylinder. They can match the new part with the old parts to ensure that your door continues to work as it should, and won't invalidate your insurance policy.

Multipoint Locking System Issues

The multipoint locking system you will find on the majority of uPVC and composite doors is a great method to enhance the security of your home. Like any other piece of machinery, it could develop problems over time.

It is possible to fix issues with the lock points, cylinder or the handle. Lubricating the mechanism can help when, for instance the handle is stuck. In more serious instances, you may need to tighten the handle or disassemble it completely to solve the problem. It is always recommended to seek expert advice before attempting to fix these types of problems.

The most frequent issue is when the door starts to expand because of warm temperatures. This is because the handle needs to be lifted (or thrown) to engage all the locking points of the door when closing it. The door will only rest on the middle latch and it is more likely the door will expand or warp over time if you do not do this. To avoid this you must get into the habit of throwing the handle of the door every time you close it. This will ensure that all locking points are in place.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it's best to contact a uPVC or composite specialist Locksmith who can diagnose and repair your door lock made of composite. They will also be able give professional guidance on how to look after your door to avoid further problems in the future.

If your uPVC door or composite door isn't closing properly it could be because the frame isn't big enough or the door itself is misaligned. If the frame is too tight, you'll need to adjust it, and if the door is misaligned with the lock, it will require replacement. In the majority of cases the locksmith Locksmith will be able to sort these issues out within 30 minutes or less. A screwdriver, in addition to a few other tools, will be enough to make the necessary adjustments.
