    UPVC door locking mechanism broken

    Posted 07 October

    I managed to destroy my UPVC door mechanism and Ryan from Owens Locksmith came to my rescue as a previous trades person was unable to help. Ryan was punctual, friendly and was able to identify what needed to be done to rectify the problem.

    Having been out for a walk I found that I was unable to open my front door. on my return. After a quick search I rang Owen and he came round to our house, in about 30-40 minutes. an excellent response time. He explained what he thought the problem might be - which turned out to be correct. He explained how the problem had arisen, and how it could be avoided in the future.
