MPL (Multipoint Locks)

MPL, specialist in multipoint locks for uPVC doors

MPL (Multipoint Locks) is a British supplier focused on locks and mechanisms for uPVC doors, cylinders, handles, security hardware and locksmith tools. The company states that it has been supplying both trade professionals and retail customers for over three decades, and identifies multipoint locks and uPVC door handles as its area of specialisation.

Its catalogue is organised by product families and by manufacturer, making it possible to find replacement parts for specific brands without having to change the entire mechanism.
