Specialist Three-Point Lock Repair
A three-point lock secures the door at the top, centre and bottom. When any part of that connected system fails or moves out of alignment, the handle may become stiff, the key may stop turning or the door may no longer lock securely. We inspect the complete mechanism before recommending a repair.
Common three-point lock problems
- Handle will not lift fully or has started to droop
- Key turns only when the door is open
- Top or bottom hook does not reach its keep
- Door must be pushed, pulled or lifted to lock
- Central gearbox clicks, grinds or spins without engaging
- Locking strip is bent, worn or jammed
- Door has dropped because of hinge wear or seasonal movement
If the handle or key suddenly becomes difficult to move, avoid forcing it. Continuing to operate a misaligned system can turn an adjustment into a damaged gearbox or broken mechanism.
What we inspect
- Door position, hinges and frame alignment
- Handle, spindle and spring components
- Key cylinder and centre gearbox
- Full-length locking strip
- Top and bottom hooks, bolts, rollers and keeps
- Manufacturer markings and replacement-part compatibility
Repair and replacement options
Depending on the diagnosis, the solution may be a door adjustment, keep realignment, cylinder service, handle repair, gearbox replacement or a complete locking-strip replacement. If the original part is discontinued, we measure the system and explain compatible replacement or conversion options. You receive a quote before approved work begins.
Experienced with common multipoint brands
We work with common three-point and multipoint systems found across Canada, including GU, Ferco, Winkhaus, Fuhr, KFV, Roto, Siegenia, Maco, Hoppe, Schlegel, Yale, Schlage, Emtek, ASSA ABLOY, Dormakaba, Trilennium, Endura and other European or North American door-hardware platforms. Exact compatibility depends on the door profile, backset, faceplate, cylinder, gearbox and locking-point layout—not only the brand name.
