Upvc, composite and wooden doors are usually secured by a Multipoint Locking Mechanism. The multipoint locking system consists of several locking points, hooks, bolts or rollers which lock into their receivers on the door frame.
The Upvc Door Lock is usually operated by the handles and the whole thing locked by means of a key. Because of their nature, the slightest misalignment of the door or the receivers in the frame may cause the Multipoint Locking Mechanism to become stiff, which leads to extra wear and tear and possibly failure.
KAT Locksmiths can upgrade older, lower security Multipoint Locking Mechanisms, to new higher, security versions at the fraction of the cost of a new door.

The Ultion lock has been tested to the needs of the British Standard TS007 3 star standard, without having to be bolstered with an expensive high security handle.
