Locks & Security

Fitting new locking systems to uPVC doors and windows provides several key benefits:

1. Enhanced Security: Modern locking systems, like multi-point locks or anti-snap cylinders, offer significantly better protection against forced entry compared to older systems. They are designed to resist common break-in methods such as lock snapping, drilling, or bumping.

2. Compliance with Insurance Requirements: Upgrading to a more secure locking system can help ensure that your home meets the security standards required by many insurance policies. Some insurers may offer reduced premiums for homes with high-quality locks.

3. Improved Ease of Use: Newer locking systems often provide smoother and more reliable operation. This reduces the chances of keys getting stuck or the lock jamming, improving the overall user experience.

4. Durability and Longevity: Modern locks are built with more durable materials, designed to withstand wear and tear over time, meaning fewer repairs or replacements will be needed.

5. Child Safety and Ventilation Control: Some new locks come with child safety features or restrictor mechanisms that allow windows or doors to be locked in a partially open position, providing ventilation while still maintaining security.

6. Boosted Aesthetics: New locks can enhance the look of your doors and windows, especially if the current ones are old, rusty, or outdated. Sleek, modern designs complement the overall appearance of uPVC fittings.

7. Added Functionality: Many advanced locking systems now offer smart features, such as keyless entry, or integration with home automation systems, adding convenience and security monitoring capabilities.

By upgrading to modern locking systems, you improve the overall safety, functionality, and appearance of your uPVC doors and windows, contributing to peace of mind and added home value.
