UPVC doors, possibly ~20 years old.
In order to increase security, I'm looking to replace the metal castings that the 'dogs' slide into when the UPVC door handle is lifted and locked.
Ideally I'd like something stronger/less brittle, like stainless steel, that wouldn't just crack if levered against.
Whart are these items called?
Is there a standard size?
Would it also be worth replacing the slider bar too?
Thanks
