Maco two-hook multipoint lock replacement in Scawsby

SF Locksmiths Doncaster recently attended a property in Scawsby, Doncaster, where an older Maco two-hook multipoint locking mechanism had failed on a uPVC door.

Although these original Maco mechanisms are now obsolete, suitable replacement parts and updated locking systems are still available.

Replacing an obsolete Maco multipoint lock

We still carry genuine replacement gearboxes for some older Maco mechanisms, but replacing only the gearbox isn’t always the best long-term solution.

The original hook cases and other moving parts may have experienced considerable wear over the years.

Instead, we can install an updated complete Maco multipoint locking mechanism, replacing the gearbox and associated locking components together.

Complete Maco mechanism fitted

For this repair in Scawsby, we replaced the complete locking mechanism rather than fitting a gearbox alone.

The updated Maco two-hook mechanism is an excellent replacement for the older design. With a few minor adjustments to accommodate the hook-case positions, it fits extremely well.

We completed the adjustments and checked that the locking points engaged correctly, restoring smooth operation to the customer’s uPVC door.

Better value than replacing the gearbox alone

One of the main advantages of this repair is that the cost difference between a genuine replacement gearbox and a complete, updated Maco mechanism is relatively small.

Replacing the full mechanism offers excellent long-term value by renewing the complete locking system instead of leaving older components in place.

The customer now has a fully functioning door without the unnecessary expense of replacing it.

An obsolete Maco locking mechanism doesn’t mean you need a new door. A complete, updated mechanism can provide a better-value, longer-lasting repair.
