UPVC Door Multi Point Locking Mechanism

I have been called to a few jobs recently, where a locksmith had only replaced the upvc door multi point locking mechanism but not adjusted the door. The main reason for a upvc door multi point locking mechanism breaking is due to the door not fitting the frame correctly. When a new multi lock is fitted, the door should always be checked and re-aligned professionally if adjustment is required.  If the door is not re-aligned then the original problem of the misaligned door, will cause the new multi point locking mechanism to break again.

If the door is not re-aligned then the original problem of the misaligned door, will cause the new multi-point locking mechanism to break again. When fitting a new upvc door multi point locking mechanism, I always fully check the doors operation and re-align any dropped doors as part of the service of replacing your new door lock.

Repair the problem to stop your multi-point locking system breaking.

If your door becomes stiff to lock or difficult to shut then you may need a door adjustment. However if you leave this problem unattended. A strain or extra resistance on your multi-point door locking system, can course the lock to fail. Many customer say that their handle had felt notchy for a few weeks. However, when they lift the handle with force they felt the lock break.

What is a multi-lock?

  • A multi-point locking system has a minimum of 3 locking points that all lock at the same time by the turn of a single key. The multi point locking mechanism operates by using either:
  • The Key
  • The door handle.
  • Some systems use both the handle and the key.

There are a few indications such as:

  3. The handle won’t lift.
  4. My key won’t turn.
  5. The Bolts / Mushrooms / Hooks / Rollers do not retract or operate
