Can I drill into a uPVC door and frame?
- Thread starter Llamali
- Start date
Any cheap drill bit will manage uPVC.
However what exactly are you intending to fit - attaching a lock to just the uPVC will achieve nothing, the material is far too soft and the lock could easily be busted off in two seconds.

A new door
If you have multi-point locking its already fairly secure and no point adding extra locks.
The 2 weak points are:
1. glass/panels. Consider upgrading to laminated glass and or steel reinforced panels.
2. the euro cylinder lock (most likely a cheap £3 Chinese one that can be broken into in 10 seconds). Upgrade to a 3* or diamond security cylinder a.s.a.p.
