Common Problems and Issues
UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) doors are popular for their durability and low maintenance, but they can still encounter lock problems. Here are some common issues you may encounter with UPVC door locks:
1. **Sticking or jammed lock**: The lock may become stuck or jammed due to dirt, dust, or debris accumulation. Cleaning the lock on your upvc door and surrounding area with a soft cloth and mild soap may resolve the issue.
2. **Lockout**: If the lock is stuck or won't turn, you may be locked out of your property. Try using a spare key or calling a locksmith to help you regain access.
3. **Key broken or lost**: If you've lost your keys or broken them inside the lock, you may need to replace the lock or have a locksmith extract the broken key.
4. **Lock malfunction**: Mechanical issues with the lock's mechanism can cause it to malfunction or fail to open/close properly. In this case, you may need to repair or replace the lock.
5. **Scratches or damage**: Scratches or damage on the lock's surface can compromise its security and functionality. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent scratches.
6. **Improper installation**: If the lock was installed incorrectly, it may not function properly. Check the installation manual or consult a professional locksmith for assistance.
7. **Worn-out or damaged components**: Over time, components like springs, hinges, or locking pins may wear out or become damaged, affecting the lock's performance. Inspect and replace these parts as needed.
8. **Weather-related issues**: Extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or extreme temperatures, can cause the lock to malfunction or freeze.
9. **Misaligned lock**: If the lock is not properly aligned with the door frame, it may not function correctly. Adjust the lock's position or consult a professional locksmith for assistance.
10. **Burglary attempts**: Unfortunately, thieves may try to force their way into your property by tampering with the lock. In this case, you may need to replace the lock with a more secure option.

Secure Your Property with Our Locksmith Services
Discover the APECS 3 star SOLD SECURE Lock
Offering the maximum level of security for entrance doors.
The APECS AP is the BSI 3 Star Kitemark, Sold Secure Diamond Standard Euro Cylinder which offers maximum protection. It safeguards from all forced methods of attack ranging from snapping, drilling, plug-extraction, picking and bumping.
The APECS AP cylinder is specifically designed to protect from unauthorised access by burglars. The AP cylinder is engineered with a unique sacrificial point, which when tampered with externally sets an interlocking cam mechanism into action, preventing any further damage to the internal parts of the cylinder, whilst still keeping the lock operable from the inside.
In the event of snapping, the home owner can still operate the door and exit the property due to the lock's unique mechanism which is engaged when the cylinders external section is snapped off. This mechanism slides the clutch into place, preventing further external damage and manipulation of the cam, whilst keeping the lock operable from the inside.
The APECS AP euro cylinder is available with 5 keys and this can be selected when ordering.
What is the button on the AP Cylinder used for?
The button the thumbturn AP cylinders allows the customer to exit the property if the lock has been damaged on the external side. The technology on our AP means that if the cylinder is snapped on the external side, the internal mechanism cannot be tampered with, meaning that the homeowner can still exit the property. This is usually done by using the key, but with our Thumbturn cylinders, this is done using the button.
What is the APECS up to £2500 Break In Guarantee?
To give you total peace of mind, in the unlikely event of a break-in succeeding through a snapping attack on our cylinder, we will pay up to £2500 towards the loss of any items which are not covered by any of your household insurance policies.
