CVL locks and deadbolts in Torrevieja

CVL is one of those brands that often turns up when you take the trim off a lock or look closely at a deadbolt on a flat, patio or storeroom door. You do not need to know any more about the brand to fix the problem: what matters is which part is failing and how it is fitted.

What tends to go wrong

• The outside deadbolt has gone stiff and the key turns only with effort.
• The lock no longer draws the bolt back or the latch stays in.
• The door has sagged and the bolt no longer goes into the strike plate properly.
• The keys have been lost and you do not know who else has a copy.

What we usually do with CVL

If the problem is the keys, we replace the cylinder with a new one of the same size. If the fault is in the mechanism, we try a lock repair first: cleaning, adjusting the strike plate or replacing a part. And if the lock is beyond repair, we fit a compatible one that uses the same holes.

Often the lock is fine and what has actually happened is that the door has dropped. In that case changing the lock hardware will not help: the door needs a repair and adjustment so it closes as it did on day one.

A deadbolt as reinforcement

A CVL deadbolt fitted above the main lock is already a reinforcement. If you want more, it can be swapped for one of our security deadbolts with a high-end cylinder and a solid fixing into the frame. On simple wooden doors it is one of the upgrades you notice most.

How we arrange it

Send us photos of the lock and the deadbolt on WhatsApp, inside and out. We give you a fixed quote before we start and we do nothing different without telling you first. Payment by card, Bizum or cash.
