Aluminium door locks


In the last couple of years l have had many customers who have come to me with a broken aluminium door lock. Some have be told in error that these locks cannot be bought anymore and it is best to replace the entire door, needless to say this is not true. In fact the exact locks can be supplied and it is a very straight forward job to replace them. These locks are in two parts, the cylinder or barrel is separate from the lock body or lockcase, as it is termed in the lock industry. The spacing between the centre of the spindle (square bar) and the centre of the keyhole is 48 mm usually and handles with this euro profile size and spacing are availale.
Newer doors may have a lock with a 92 mm centre to centre spacing and of course we sell these replacement locks as well. Normally there is no need to replace the handles when replacing the lock so long as a correct fitting lock is used.

For those with some fixing skills and a few tools including a drill, there is an inexpensive alternative even. We have developed and tested this solution for situations where the budget for repairs is smaller. We can supply a lock that fits with minimal alteration to the door and this works perfectly with the old handles.

So in a situation where you have a broken lock in an aluminium door, once you find us and contact me your problem will be sorted. Call out service is available for those customers who need a little help with the removel and refixing of the new lock.
