Why Should You Maintain Your Patio Doors and Locks?

Common Patio Door Lock Problems
Your door locks, especially if they are patio sliding or bifold ones, can easily become damaged. But if you nip these lock-related complications in the bud, you won’t have to spend on expensive lock replacements. Some common problems with patio door locks are:
Broken or worn-out locks
Patio doors aren’t immune to the effects of weathering. Even patio door locks get jammed, so they don’t operate right away.
Misalignment
When new residential blocks are developed, patio doors often shift as the land beneath them settles. This shifting throws patio doors out of alignment, so they don’t close all the way.
Jammed locks
The accumulation of dirt or mechanical failure can make your patio door locks jammed, so they do not work properly.
Snapped or broken keys
Snapped keys can lock you out of your house sometimes.
Faulty mechanisms
Multi-point locks or hook locks can occasionally malfunction due to internal damage caused by age or wear and tear.
If you encounter such issues, it is crucial to organise prompt professional repair or replacement to ensure your home remains secure. Our experienced professionals will fix a faulty lock or simply replace it with a functioning one.

Patio Door Lock Replacements
Sometimes, locks become so worn out that they simply cannot be repaired. In such a case, we’ll replace your locking mechanism altogether, setting up a newer, upgraded lock in its stead. Our fleet of locksmiths offers you the following choices:
Multi-point locking mechanisms
Multi-lock locking mechanisms provide you with various locking points across the door’s frame. So, your patio door becomes strong enough to resist forced entry.
Anti-snap locks
Since many housebreakers try to snap your lock, we offer snap-free locks that resist this tactic.
High-security euro cylinders
Our trained locksmiths replace traditional cylinder-operated locks by installing advanced Euro locks. These locks don’t break when burglars apply methods like drilling or bumping.
Smart locks
You should also consider keyless entry methods. At Lock & Key, we offer a wide range of smart locks that can be incorporated into your home security system for enhanced protection.
Our trained locksmiths will check your patio door and determine the best locking mechanism for it based on its specifications. We’ll install a smart lock to restore your peace of mind.
