UPVC Door Repair in Bishop Auckland 

These doors are usually made up for a few components:

Hinges: There are many types of hinges From flag to butt hinges these allow the door to swing freely and also to adjust the alignment of the door. Lockforce Locksmiths in Bishop Auckland can replace door hinges and also realign your door if it starts to become stiff or catch when you try to close and lock the door.

MPL: This is broken down into further parts such as Rollers, mushrooms, hooks, shoot bolts, and dead bolts. These parts all slow the door to have the high level of security rollers are generally designed to pull the door so the seal is tight upon locking. Hooks stop the door being lifted off its hinges. Mushrooms shoot and dead bolts stop the door being forced open. These parts also have secondary security jobs as well. 

Gear box:  On the MPL, the job of this is to make the moving/ securing parts all move at the same time to insure the door locks and unlocks correctly. This also holds the sash which holds the door shut when the doors is closed and released when the door handles are depressed. The gear box also houses the lock that when turned stops all the moving parts moving to insure security is maintained. This is why high security locks are recommended as this not all the moving parts is what keeps people out. Lockforce Locksmiths in Bishop Auckland, stock most common gear boxes to fit the same day should yours become faulty. 

Keeps: These are on the frame or holding door and insure the door is correctly held in place the keeps will depend on the move / security parts of the MPL and are generally metal strips with high strength screws in them to insure the high Level of security.

"My safe won’t work!" - A lady phoned and explained her safe was open but when she tried to lock it, it felt like it wasn't working properly. We arrived on site and noticed her wardrobes were built around the safe we explained the safe it is it would work out cheaper to renew then what it would to Fix!

We arrived on site nice and early and started by fitting a 2 bolt kit which would be fully alarmed, we had to run wires from the load area to the cab area and connect it all up. Once we had everything in place, we had to test that the system worked and that the alarm would pick up the movement, a shock for those around so early in the morning im sure! After everything had been tested and tidied up we had the customer check over to make sure he was happy! After a quick run though, the customer was over the moon and now can rest easy knowing his tools will be safe in his van.
