Locksmiths may also offer security assessments and recommendations to help clients improve the security of their homes or businesses. Some locksmiths may specialise in certain types of locks or security systems, such as high-security locks or access control systems.
The mechanism used to identify the locks on uPVC doors involves lifting the handles and turning the key 
to secure them. These locks are commonly found on double-glazed doors and are now becoming popular on new composite doors as well. One notable advantage of these locks is that they secure the door to the frame in three different positions (top, bottom, and middle), in contrast to traditional locks that have only one position. However, maintaining these
locks can be more intricate and costly if a replacement becomes necessary. The lock itself resembles a Euro lock cylinder and can be easily substituted with anti-drill and anti-snap locks, which we recommend as a suitable replacement option.
If you encounter difficulty in lifting the handles when the door is closed, it usually indicates that the door is not properly shut or that the mechanism responsible for the locking process is misaligned with the frame. To prevent expensive repairs or potential security risks, we suggest contacting a qualified locksmith to examine the door and realign it with the frame. Our locksmiths are available for adjustments and maintenance of these locks, and you can conveniently book their services by calling our office number at 0800 707 4203.
Repairing an intercom system can vary widely depending on the specific issues you’re facing and the type of intercom system you have. Here’s a general guide to help you troubleshoot and 
potentially repair common intercom system problems. Before attempting any repairs, identify the specific issue with your intercom system. Is it not powering on? Is the audio quality poor? Are certain units not communicating with each other? Pinpointing the problem will help you focus your troubleshooting efforts.
If the intercom system isn’t powering on, ensure that it’s receiving power. Check the power source, circuit breaker, and any fuses. Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped breakers. Make sure all cables and wires are properly connected. Loose or damaged connections can cause communication issues. Inspect cables for physical damage and replace them if necessary.
If you’re experiencing poor audio quality, ensure that the speakers and microphones are clean and not obstructed. Check for any frayed or damaged cables affecting audio transmission. If certain units aren’t communicating with each other, first make sure that they are powered on and connected properly. Check for any settings that might be blocking communication or causing interference.
Some modern intercom systems have digital components that can be configured through software settings. Check the user manual for guidance on how to adjust settings related to volume, channel, privacy modes, and more. Interference from other electronic devices can disrupt intercom communication. Ensure that there are no electronic devices nearby that could be causing interference. Try changing the channel or frequency to see if that improves communication. If possible, test the malfunctioning unit with a working unit. This can help determine if the issue lies with the specific unit or the entire system.
Both keyed locks and number locks can be safe and secure, as their security depends on the specific lock model and its features. However, some people may feel that keyed locks are more secure because they require a physical key to operate, which can be perceived as harder to bypass than a number code.
On the other hand, number locks (also known as combination locks) have some advantages over keyed locks. For example, they do not require a physical key that can be lost or duplicated, and the code can be easily changed without the need for a locksmith. Additionally, some number locks can be more resistant to lockpicking and other forms of forced entry than some keyed locks.
Ultimately, the security of a lock depends on factors such as its quality, construction, and installation, rather than whether it is a keyed lock or a number lock. It is important to choose a reputable brand and have the lock installed by a professional to ensure its optimal performance and security.
