Three common types of locking mechanisms:
1) Lever/Pad Operation (usually
front door)- When closed the door is locked on
the latch and cannot be opened from the outside
without a key. To double lock the door, lift up
the handle to engage the locking points and then
turn the key once to lock. To unlock, if the door
has been double-locked, turn the key once, push
handle down, turn key furthur to unlock latch.
2) Lever/Lever Operation
(usually back door) - Lift the handle to engage
the locking points and then turn the key once to
lock. To unlock turn the key once, and push down
the handle.
3) Key Wind Operation (front or
back door) - Turn the key 2 or more times to
fully engage all of the locking points. To unlock
turn the key 2 or more times to release the
locking points.
Always Double-lock your UPVC door
UPVC doors that have just been pulled shut on the
latch are not secure.
