Questions about this locksmith request
Why does a UPVC door lock only when I lift the handle?
UPVC and composite doors commonly use multipoint mechanisms, and stiffness can be caused by alignment, keeps, a gearbox, cylinder or another component. The exact cause needs assessment rather than guessing from one symptom.
Is a full multipoint mechanism always required?
No. Some faults can be resolved by adjustment or replacing a component, while others need a larger mechanism replacement. Ask the provider to identify what is being replaced and what guarantee applies.
