What is an espag mechanism?
The espagnolette, or espag, is the long locking strip inside the edge of your door. When you lift the handle, it drives the bolts, hooks and rollers into the frame at the same time.
When it fails, the door will not lock even though the handle still moves. It is one of the most common door faults we see, and it is fixed by replacing the strip, not the door.
Questions about door repairs
My door handle turns but the door will not lock. Do I need a new door?
Almost never. It is usually a worn gearbox or a broken espag strip inside the door, which we replace on the same visit in most cases.
Can you upgrade my lock to an anti-snap cylinder?
Yes. We supply and fit anti-snap euro cylinders and other high-security upgrades.
