uPVC Lock Specialist
Expert Repairs, Replacements & Security Upgrades.
When your lock mechanism starts sticking, the handle drops, or the key suddenly won’t turn, it can feel scary, and overwhelming. That’s why you need a locksmith who understands uPVC systems inside and out.
At Hames & Sons Locksmiths, we are your trusted uPVC lock specialists. Offering expert diagnosis, repairs, and replacements for uPVC and composite door locking systems across Whitstable, Herne Bay, Canterbury, Faversham & surrounding Kent areas.
With over 25 years’ experience, we’ve repaired thousands of uPVC locks, including multi-point mechanisms, gearboxes, cylinders, and euro-locks. These systems are complex and when one part fails, it can leave your door insecure, jammed, or completely stuck shut. We carry a full range of premium parts, allowing us to solve most problems in a single visit.
We fix and upgrade:
- Dropped handles / handle won’t lift
- Jammed or stiff locks
- Keys spinning or stuck
- Failed gearboxes & mechanisms
- Multi-point lock issues
- Lock upgrades to anti-snap cylinders
- Realignment to prevent future breakages
Many uPVC lock failures happen over time often due to door alignment, wear-and-tear, or salt-air corrosion from coastal areas like Whitstable, Herne Bay, and Thanet . We don’t just fix the immediate issue… we identify why it failed and ensure your door works smoothly and securely again.
Whether you’re locked out, struggling with a stiff lock, or simply want to improve your home security, we provide honest advice, quality parts, and tidy, professional service. No call centres. No unnecessary parts. Just local expertise you can trust.
