A MLA approved locksmith will deal with the below problems on a daily basis and will be able to help you: This problem is usually indicative of one of two things usually but can be a combination of both, the two main mechanical parts to a upvc/composite door are the euro profile cylinder lock and the multi point locking mechanism. If the key does not go into the lock cylinder (sometimes called euro lock) all the way in, or the key will go in and not turn usually this is a euro cylinder failure. So this part needs to be replaced once the door has been opened. Common reasons this happens are usually because the euro lock worn, a cheap lock has been fitted, the key has been left on the inside and lock operated from other side and the lock is now out of sync, or general wear and tear.
If the key goes into the euro lock and turns anti clockwise (unlock) one complete turn and the door won’t open this is usually a sign that the multi point lock has failed or a security bolt or hook has jammed. Common reasons this usually happens are: door and frame not fitting correctly or are out of alignment and the handles have been forced up to lock and the delicate mechanism has broken, general wear and tear, or possibly that the door is slammed constantly.

When a key goes into euro profile cylinder but you have to jiggle or pull key up or down is usually a sign of badly cut keys or a faulty or worn euro cylinder lock.
One of the multi point hooks or bolts won’t retract in or out properly when the window handle or upvc door handle is operated is usually a sign of a broken mechanism or locking security device. The reason a key is usually needed to change a euro profile cylinder lock is the cam on the lock (the part that locks the handle which in turn operates the upvc mechanism when the key is turned) needs to be in line with the euro lock body to remove from the door. If you have no keys and the euro cylinder retaining screw is removed in the usual way the euro lock will NOT slide out as the cam is in the wrong position stopping the euro lock from being removed. MLA approved locksmiths will be able to attend site and change the euro lock even if no key is available by using an array of specialist tools and knowledge to align the cam in the correct position to remove the euro profile cylinder lock without damaging the door.
