If you get a snapped key in your lock, you need to get a locksmith to get you out of this unfortunate situation. Due to the manufacturing process for UPVC windows and doors, it is difficult to find locks that will fit them. This is because UPVC is a thermoplastic material, which is formed by heating and cooling the material. This heating and cooling process makes the material brittle, which results in a material that is too fragile to work with most standard locks.SAB Locksmiths is one of Lancashire's leading service providers of UPVC window and door lock repairs. We replace the locks, such as the main lock, the deadbolt, the latch, and the strike plate and provide quality repairs at a competitive price.
