A mechanism is the strip that runs down the full length of the door which incorporates different locking points.
Multipoint locks have been primarily used on uPVC doors, although more recently they are being installed on timber and composite doors.
A big percentage of our jobs are Emergency call outs to uPVC and composite doors where the customer can not lock their door.
A lot of times this can be a simple and inexpensive fix as the door has dropped on the hinges and the multipoints will no longer line up to the frame locking keeps.

All handles are durable and weather resistant.
We also supply and install PAS 24/ TS007 High Security door handles to meet insurers requirements.
PAS 24 handles have Secured By Design Accreditation which is also referred to a Police Approved and are stamped with the British Standard "Kite Mark".
PAS 24 handles are also a great deterrent for burglars when the door is fitted with a High Security cylinder.

Our initial request for help was answered promptly and Matt was with us next day to diagnose the problem. Parts were ordered same day and the job to replace our front door lock was completed within 24 hours.
Five stars for a super quick, professional, courteous and value for money service.

I manage holiday lets, and so we occasionally have issues with keys/locks. Matt was the first person I called. He answered first time, and considering I was calling 6pm on a Sunday evening I really wasn't expecting it to be so easy! He got out to the job within half an hour, and resolved the issue quickly and effectively. First Choice Locksmiths are now our number one go to for our holiday lets in the area. Thanks Matt!

Matt replied very quickly to me and quoted very reasonably compared to others, and then when he came to diagnose the issue (which again was nice and quick considering it wasn't urgent) he was very honest about the problem and it was a really simple fix for which he didn't even charge us as he said he was in the area! Great service and will definitely hit up if we get other lock issues in the future!! Thanks Matt!

This is the second time I have used Matt's services in 5 years. This time one of my tenants phoned me to say their front door lock wasn't working properly. I phoned Matt and within a couple of hours he had fixed the problem without having to replace the lock and at a very reasonable and fair price. If you have a problem with any locking devices in Exeter and surrounding areas I fully recommend you contact First Choice Locksmiths first.

Matt visited promptly, made a temporary fix solution and then returned later to permanently replace our faulty upvc door lock.
Happy to recommend this business. Good, professional service and reassuringly, Matt wore PPE under the current legislation.
