Secure Your Home with Multipoint Locking Mechanisms - Expert Services by Locksmith Kev

Multipoint locking mechanisms are a popular choice for securing uPVC, high-security, composite, and high-quality wooden doors. These locks provide enhanced security by engaging multiple locking points when the handle is lifted, and can be further secured by deadlocking with a key.

How Multipoint Locks Work

Multipoint locks feature a face plate (often called a strip) that incorporates various locking points, including pins, mushrooms, hooks, deadbolts, and anti-lift locks. These locking points work in tandem with a central gearbox (also known as the centre case or centre mech), connecting the operating system with the rest of the lock. By simply pulling the handles up or down, the gearbox engages, operating the multiple locking points to secure your door.

Common Issues with Multipoint Locks

One of the most common failure points in multipoint locking systems is the centre gearbox. Over time, the spindle cam within the gearbox can wear out, leading to issues such as:

• Crunching sounds

• Unusually stiff operation

• Drooping handles

Ignoring these warning signs can result in complete mechanism failure, leaving your door vulnerable. Regular maintenance is key to preventing these issues and ensuring that your multipoint locking mechanism functions optimally.
