Starting 2026 with UPVC door and lock repairs

Another busy (and chilly) start to the new year so far for ASL Locksmiths Brighton.

We have worked on several projects that involved repairing failed mechanisms on UPVC doors and failed locking espags on UPVC window mechanisms.

ASL Locksmiths are committed to providing quick and efficient solutions to property security problems. Whether it’s a lock repair or replacement, UPVc door/window installation or repairs, or even property repossession or handling a lockout, we are only one call away.

Deadlock to Thumbturn Lock Conversion in Brighton

ASL Locksmiths attended a commercial property to convert a front door’s deadlock to a thumbturn operated lock to attain the fire safety standard.

We replaced the existing Zoo 3G110 key with a BSI, fire-safe Union and APECS thumbturn lock. It was a pretty neat installation. Take a look at the comparison photos of the old lock and the newly-fitted lock.

ASL Locksmiths are only a call away for lock changes/installations and UPVc door/window repairs. Got any questions? Contact us today.
