Common uPVC window lock problems
Windows on exposed Shetland houses take wind and salt spray all year, and their locks, fasteners and handles stiffen or break. We repair or replace window locks and restrictors on uPVC and timber windows, from the stone houses of Lerwick to the newer homes in Brae.
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 Lerwick
Shetland has few trees to slow the wind, so winter gales and salt spray hit doors and windows head on, wearing hinges, handles and cylinders and swelling timber frames.
