Locked in a room in Houghton Regis →Houghton Regis homes and the locks we see
Because so much of Houghton Regis was built in the same postwar and 1960s push, a lot of the town's front doors were replaced with uPVC and composite doors in the same period too. That means the same multipoint mechanisms reaching the end of their life at roughly the same time — worn gearboxes and dropped doors are the bulk of our Houghton Regis work. The large new-build area to the north is standard modern multipoint under warranty.
