EN Locksmith of Herts: Turnford, Turnford EN10 6BZ
Working in the vicinity of Aqueduct Lock
Archaeological evidence shows that Palaeolithic, Late Bronze Age, and Iron Age relics have been found in the site where Turnford now lies. During the late Saxon period, the village existed as a farm belonging to the manor of Cheshunt. In the 12th century, a Benedictine nunnery was established on Turnford Marsh, and parts of the medieval buildings survived within a farm until they were destroyed by gravel quarrying in 1955. Turnford remained a hamlet until the nursery industry began to relocate from North London in the 1880s. Growers, such as Thomas Rochford, cultivated grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other produce. However, by the late 20th century, the nursery industry had moved away, and housing estates had taken its place. Thomas Rochford Way and Rochford Close serve as reminders of the area’s horticultural past.

The locks on uPVC doors are identified by a mechanism that requires users to lift the handles and turn the key to secure them. They are typically installed on double-glazed doors but are now also popular on new composite doors. One advantage of this type of lock is that it secures the door to the frame in three locations (top, bottom, and middle), unlike traditional locks that only have one position. However, the maintenance of these locks can be more complex and expensive if they need to be replaced. The lock itself is similar to a Euro lock cylinder and can be easily replaced with anti-drill and anti-snap locks, which we recommend as a replacement option.
If you have trouble lifting the handles with the door closed, it is usually a sign that the door is not properly shut or that the mechanism controlling the locking process is misaligned with the frame. We recommend that you contact a qualified locksmith to inspect the door and realign it with the frame to prevent costly repairs or potential security risks. You can easily book our locksmiths to adjust and service these locks by calling our office number 0800 707 4203.
