Why you need Ultion high-security door locks

Choosing high-security locks is an effective means of keeping thieves at bay - and Ultion can help you do just that. This particular type of lock has been approved by the police, as well as having being put through rigorous tests by British Standards and the Master Locksmith Association. Ultion locks have also been awarded the highest TS007 three-star standard.

Designing out crime

There are many in-built features that make Ultion locks superior to others on the market. They boast 11 security pins capable of creating 294,970 different combinations, seriously reducing the chances of thieves guessing the right one.

Ultion locks also have a strong molybdenum core that is 25% denser than iron. This protects your property from lock snapping, drilling and bumping, further improving security.

As soon as Ultion locks detect that tampering has occurred, they will enter into lockdown mode. A lock will move into the central cam, which is kept in place by a retaining pin that means it's impossible for the lock to be damaged.

A lock suitable for any door

Another advantage of Ultion locks is they can be fitted to any door. Whether you have aluminium doors at your property, uPVC or even wood, an experienced Barnsley locksmith will be able to fit them to the required standard. The premium components used to make Ultion locks will stand the test of time and keep your property safe for years to come.

Here at S Fretwell & Sons, we offer a snap-proof lock package to help give you complete faith in your home's security. For one low price of £200, you will get three Ultion locks - one fitted to your front door, one to the back and the final for your French or patio doors.

Not only will you receive these high-security locks, but also the expertise of our experienced Barnsley locksmith.

There's simply no substitute for choosing high quality security products for your home or business. Our experienced locksmiths in Barnsley only ever use hardware of the highest standard, whether we're carrying out a uPVC door lock replacement or upgrading your window locks.

All the locks we use meet British Standard BS3621, which means they've been rigorously tested and meet the strictest criteria, giving you the protection you need.

Upgrading your security

Some of our customers choose to upgrade certain locks throughout their home or business, while others opt for a complete lock replacement.

Getting your uPVC doors working again

One problem we encounter time and time again is people struggling to close their uPVC doors. This is why we carry a selection of tools that can help rectify the issue, avoiding the need for a complete door replacement.

We stock uPVC multi locks and Euro cylinders in our mobile workshop to get your door functioning like new again. You will be surprised just how easy it is to replace the locking mechanism or realign your door. Contact our experienced Barnsley locksmith on 01226 307183 to see the difference for yourself.

Repairing broken uPVC door mechanisms

Around 70% of the time offenders gain entry through a door and 30% of the time through a window.

Repairing broken uPVC door mechanisms

Carrying out uPVC door mechanism repairs is one of the most common tasks we perform on a weekly basis. After continuous use, the multipoint locking mechanisms on your uPVC doors will eventually wear out and fail - in fact, the average lifespan is just ten to 12 years.

If you can’t open the door but the key is turning 360 degrees, this usually tells us the multipoint lock has failed.  We will replace the mechanism for a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire door. There is every chance the replacement lock will last just as long as the original, or possibly even longer if the door wasn’t fitted properly in the first place!

We carry over 200 different multipoint locking mechanisms and gearboxes with us at all times. This allows repairs to be completed on the first call out and your property to be secure on the same day.

uPVC door repairs in Barnsley

Many of our customers believe their uPVC door locks are too old to repair, but this often isn't the case. Even when parts become unobtainable, there are always other alternatives that will often offer a higher level of security than before. We can also offer replacement handles, barrels and letterboxes if you want to give your property a fresher overall look.

Fixing common uPVC door problems

It’s highly likely we will be able to open your uPVC door without causing any damage. Each door mechanism fails in its own unique way and with over 30 years’ experience, we will recognise the quickest but damage-free way to open up your door. If you’ve been told that your door can’t be opened, give us a call. We love a challenge and haven’t been beaten yet!

If your uPVC door won't lock, there are a couple of things you should check before calling our locksmith in Barnsley. If the door can still be locked while it is ajar, the multi-point lock should be fine and the door needs realigning. If the door handle is being prevented from lifting all the way, it can’t be locked.

In the event that the door is no longer square with the frame, it will need ‘toeing and heeling’. Another option is to alter the hinges or the keeps adjusting on the frame. It’s a good idea to enlist the help of someone with experience in uPVC door repairs in Barnsley rather than attempting to deal with the problem yourself, as you could cause more damage.

In the event that the door isn’t locking while it is ajar, then the problem is more serious and the chances are the multi-point lock has failed. We find that the multi-point locks fail open and closed in equal amounts. If your door is left open and you can’t lock it, our aim is to get to you the same day you call to secure your property as soon as possible.
