Multipoint locks are operated by a euro cylinder, and as a result, they can be tailored to meet the needs of the customer. Available in various sizes and security options, from 3-point locking systems to high-security 5-point locking systems.

Multipoint locking systems have locking features such as deadbolts, claw bolts & roller cams that secure the uPVC door to the frame.

We specialize in multipoint door lock repairs, door lock replacements, door lock re-alignments & door lock upgrades.

uPvc Door Cylinders

Door lock cylinders or “Euro profile cylinders” are key-operated devices used to engage the main locking mechanism of the door lock. An extra component of the main door lock, the cylinder is inserted through the door & lock. Available with key operation from both sides, or key operation from the outside and knob-turn operation from the inside.

In many cases, uPVC doors come with a “standard” euro profile cylinder installed. Unfortunately, a weakness discovered in this type of cylinder has now become an easy target for burglars, who can bypass the cylinder’s security, gaining entry within seconds! This has forced manufacturers to create new cylinder door locks specifically designed to withstand attack from burglars, replacing your existing cylinder door lock and greatly increasing your door’s security.

A. Houlihan Locksmiths Dublin recommends upgrading your existing door lock cylinder to a high-security cylinder that meets either SS312 Diamond Approved Cylinder or TS007 3 Star standards for enhanced security.

Additional Security for uPvc Doors

Sash jammers are a great addition to any uPVC door to increase security. For enhanced security, AHL Locksmith Dublin strongly advises securing both front and rear entrance uPVC doors with sash jammers. Additionally, these devices provide an extra layer of protection, making it more difficult for intruders to force entry. Install the sash jammer by securing it to the frame of a uPVC door. To lock the device, simply swing the metal arm of the sash jammer across onto the door, pinning it to the frame.

Moreover, door lock accessories like chains, viewers, bolts, hinge bolts, and vent locks effectively enhance your existing security.

A. Houlihan Locksmiths can supply & fit most door accessories in a variety of colours to blend with your door finish.

Patlock – Security for French Doors and Conservatories

Providing a visual deterrent to any would-be intruders and instant peace of mind for homeowners.

Notably, this patented design originated in the UK to help homeowners secure their property against burglars and the rising threat of lock snapping. Patlock locks the internal door handles in place, blocking operation of the external handles. Consequently, the door mechanism stays securely locked, even if an intruder attempts to snap or remove the locks. Additionally, each Patlock comes with a pair of tamper-resistant spindles, providing extra reinforcement for improved security.
