Common uPVC window lock problems
Window locks and handles that seize or snap turn up on estates across Chelmsford, Witham and Billericay, and salt air makes it worse around Maldon and Heybridge Basin. We repair or replace the handles and locks so each window shuts and locks securely.
A handle that turns but does not lock, a handle that has snapped, or a window that will not close tight. Most of these come from a worn handle or a failed espagnolette, the locking bar inside the frame.
We replace handles with locking handles where you want them, so windows can be locked with a key, and fix or replace the mechanism behind them. Patio and French door locks are part of the same job.
Locksmiths who know Chelmsford
Salt air off the Blackwater estuary around Maldon and Heybridge Basin corrodes exposed locks and window hardware faster than it does inland.
