The Job: A Replacement APG Door Lock Replacement

Understanding the Project: Assessing the APG Door Lock Issue
The retail client contacted us after experiencing repeated difficulties with their APG door lock. The lock was sticking, difficult to turn, and ultimately unreliable – a significant issue for any retail environment where smooth access and security are essential. Our first step was a thorough assessment of the door and lock mechanism. APG doors, while robust, require specialised locks and precise handling during repairs. In this case, the lock showed signs of wear and corrosion, likely due to constant use and exposure to varying weather conditions, making replacement the most effective solution.

The Lock Replacement Process
Once we determined that a full lock replacement was necessary, we carefully sourced a high-quality replacement lock that would be compatible with the APG door’s specifications. Working with our suppliers, we selected a durable, weather-resistant lock that meets current security standards, ensuring our client could rely on enhanced security for years to come.

Preparation: To begin, we prepared the workspace to ensure minimal disruption to the retail environment. Since the store remained open during the repair, we set up a safe, clean working area, and our team adhered to safety protocols to avoid any disruption to customers and staff.

Removal of the Old Lock: The next step involved carefully removing the worn-out lock. APG doors are engineered with a unique balance of glass and metal components, so precise handling is essential to avoid any damage. Our technicians used specialised tools to detach the lock without affecting the door’s glass panels or frame.

Installation of the New Lock: With the old lock removed, we fitted the new lock, testing it multiple times throughout the installation process to ensure a perfect fit and function. Aligning the new lock accurately is key to avoiding future issues and maintaining the smooth operation of the door. Our team checked the alignment meticulously, ensuring the new lock operated seamlessly.

Final Adjustments & Testing: After installing the lock, we performed rigorous testing to confirm its smooth operation. We checked the lock from both inside and outside, making sure it engaged and disengaged smoothly without any sticking. This phase of the project is crucial in identifying any issues and making necessary adjustments on the spot.

Security Check and Handover: Finally, we conducted a comprehensive security check, verifying that the new lock met all relevant security standards. We also walked the client through the lock’s operation, providing tips for care and maintenance to extend the lock’s life and ensure consistent performance.
