Coldseal doors and windows were a popular choice many years ago. For most households they were a good value choice for new double glazing installations. But unfortunately the company went into liquidation, leaving customers with not only no warranty but no backup service.
Absolutely not!
S F Locksmith have access to either the original parts or where these are no longer available we can use alternatives that offer either equal or higher quality fitting standards.
As you are aware, you need to lift the handle to put the door into a locked position and then turn the key. The locking mechanism is called a “multipoint lock”.
The majority of Coldseal doors had multipoint locks either made my Advocet (WMS) or Mila. Both had 4 hooks incorporated into the locking strip. The Avocet version never felt smooth but was capable of lasting up to 15 years before it failed. The Mila felt smoother to operate but after a period of time the hinges “dropped” and the hooks were too far away from the door frame. This made it difficult to lock and you often had to put pressure on the handle when lifting to get the door locked. This force is often the reason for the multipoint lock failing.
Ring S F Locksmith, we will be able to get your door open and replace the faulty parts. We won’t need to cause any damage to the door getting it open and afterwards the door will be good for at least another 10 years. If the handles are worn, these can also be replaced and the barrel can be upgraded to a high security antisnap lock as well.
If you have the Mila version an approximate cost to replace the gearbox, handles and a new barrel would be £150.
The Advocet version is slightly more expensive because there is extra work involved and a full length keep is required for the door frame but when complete this model is far superior to the original, the cost is usually £165.
All work is covered by our 2 year guarantee on parts and labour.
