Protecting your property
With something as important as the security of your home, it’s sensible to seek professional advice so that your family and their possession are as safe as they can be. Door and window locks vary in design and quality which is why we’re on hand to make sure you’re locks are helping to protect your property.
Why you need Ultion high-security door locks
Choosing high-security locks is an effective means of keeping thieves at bay - and Ultion can help you do just that. This particular type of lock has been approved by the police, as well as having being put through rigorous tests by British Standards and the Master Locksmith Association. Ultion locks have also been awarded the highest TS007 three-star standard.
Designing out crime
There are many in-built features that make Ultion locks superior to others on the market. They boast 11 security pins capable of creating 294,970 different combinations, seriously reducing the chances of thieves guessing the right one.
Ultion locks also have a strong molybdenum core that is 25% denser than iron. This protects your property from lock snapping, drilling and bumping, further improving security.
As soon as Ultion locks detect that tampering has occurred, they will enter into lockdown mode. A lock will move into the central cam, which is kept in place by a retaining pin that means it's impossible for the lock to be damaged.
A lock suitable for any door
Another advantage of Ultion locks is they can be fitted to any door. Whether you have aluminium doors at your property, uPVC or even wood, an experienced Rotherham locksmith will be able to fit them to the required standard. The premium components used to make Ultion locks will stand the test of time and keep your property safe for years to come.
Here at S Fretwell & Sons, we offer a snap-proof lock package to help give you complete faith in your home's security. For one low price of £210, you will get three Ultion locks - one fitted to your front door, one to the back and the final for your French or patio doors.
Not only will you receive these high-security locks, but also the expertise of our experienced Rotherham locksmith.
Landlord services
Having a secure property is a major concern for Rotherham landlords, which is why we offer a full service throughout the town.
From changing locks to carrying out lock repairs, we're here to help whether you own one rental property or an entire portfolio.
What we offer landlords in Rotherham
There’s a whole host of services we can offer Rotherham landlords. We recommend a home mover lock package if you have only just taken on your rental properties, or if you have welcomed various tenants over the years.
For one low price, we will replace all the locks on your property, which is ideal if you have lost track of which tenants, letting agents and maintenance staff have had access over the years. There’s also a chance the previous owner may not have collected all the keys.
If you prefer, our Rotherham locksmith can carry out individual lock repairs or replacements to make your property secure. This can often be more economical then changing the whole door or window, and because we have a mobile workshop, most jobs can be carried out on the spot.
Get in touch
For a free, no obligation quote or advice on how to improve security at your rental property, please give our locksmith in Rotherham a call. We can also carry out emergency repairs if your tenants find themselves locked out of their property, or if you need to change the locks at short notice. Call our emergency number on 07930 841967.
Repairing broken uPVC door mechanisms
Repairing uPVC door mechanisms is one of the most common tasks we perform every week. After continuous use, the multipoint locking mechanisms on your uPVC doors will eventually wear out and fail—in fact, the average lifespan is just ten to 12 years.
If you can’t open the door but the key is turning 360 degrees, this usually tells us the multipoint lock has failed. We will replace the mechanism for a fraction of the entire door's cost. There is every chance the replacement lock will last just as long as the original, or possibly even longer if the door wasn’t fitted properly in the first place!
We always carry over 400 different multipoint locking mechanisms and gearboxes with us. This allows repairs to be completed on the first call out and your property secure on the same day.
uPVC door repairs in Rotherham
Many customers believe their uPVC door locks are too old to repair, but this often isn't true. Even when parts become unobtainable, other alternatives are always available that will usually offer a higher level of security than before. We can also offer replacement handles, barrels, and letterboxes if you want to give your property a fresher overall look.
Fixing common uPVC door problems
We will likely be able to open your uPVC door without causing any damage. Each door mechanism fails uniquely, and with over 25 years of experience, we will recognise the quickest but most damage-free way to open your door. Call us if you’ve been told that your door can’t be opened. We love a challenge and haven’t been beaten yet!
If your uPVC door doesn't lock, you should check a few things before calling our locksmith in Rotherham. If the door can still be locked while it is ajar, the multi-point lock should be fine, and the door needs realigning. If it doesn't lock, the mechanism has failed and needs changing, all of which we do.
If the door is no longer square with the frame, it will need ‘toeing and heeling’. Altering the hinges or keeping the frame adjusted is another option. It’s a good idea to enlist the help of someone with experience in uPVC door repairs in Rotherham rather than attempting to deal with the problem yourself, as you could cause more damage.
If the door isn’t locking while it is ajar, the problem is more serious, and the chances are the multipoint lock has failed. The multi-point locks fail to open and close in equal amounts. If your door is left open and you can’t lock it, we aim to get to you the same day you call to secure your property as soon as possible.
