SF Locksmiths Doncaster recently repaired a set of rear Safestyle patio doors in Rossington, Doncaster. The multipoint locking mechanism had failed, leaving the doors unable to lock securely.
The customer wanted a reliable repair without replacing patio doors that were otherwise in good condition.
Faulty Mila Gearbox Identified
After inspecting the multipoint locking mechanism, we found that the Mila gearbox had failed. The gearbox operates the locking points along the door.
The rest of the mechanism was still in good condition, so we could replace the faulty gearbox without replacing the complete locking system.
Genuine Mila Gearbox Fitted
We supplied and fitted a genuine, like-for-like Mila replacement gearbox. It was compatible with the existing Safestyle door mechanism.
We also realigned the patio doors and checked that all the locking points engaged correctly.
Replacing the failed gearbox and correcting the door alignment restored smooth, reliable locking without replacing the complete mechanism or the patio doors.
Patio Doors Working Smoothly Again
After the repair, we tested the doors several times. The handles operated smoothly, and the multipoint lock engaged correctly.
The customer now has fully working, secure patio doors. The repair is covered by our two-year parts and labour guarantee.
