Lockmaster Multipoint Lock Replacement in Armthorpe

We recently attended a property in Armthorpe, Doncaster, where a faulty Lockmaster multipoint locking mechanism had left the rear, outward-opening French doors locked shut.

After gaining access, we found that the problem extended beyond the central gearbox. The locking hook cases were badly rusted and seized, and the French doors were misaligned.

Why We Replaced the Complete Lockmaster Mechanism

Replacing only the gearbox would have cost less initially, but the condition of the hook cases made it an unsuitable long-term repair.

Seized or corroded hook cases can put considerable strain on a replacement gearbox and may eventually break, especially when the doors are difficult to lock.

We therefore replaced the complete Lockmaster multipoint locking mechanism, ensuring that all the locking points operated correctly.

French Doors Realigned and Serviced

We also corrected the door alignment, serviced the hinges and checked the locking keeps to help everything operate smoothly.

The repair restored secure, easy locking without putting unnecessary pressure on the new mechanism.

Replacing a gearbox while leaving badly worn or seized hook cases in place can shorten the repair’s lifespan. Sometimes replacing the complete mechanism is the better investment.
