My uPVC door won't lock without lifting the handle hard, why?

Door has dropped on the hinges, the multipoint hooks aren't aligning with the keeps in the frame. Hinge adjustment fixes most cases in about 20 minutes.

What does uPVC repair cost in Central London?

Hinge realignment £69 to £89. Multipoint gearbox replacement £139 to £189. Handles and spindles £79 to £109. Patio and bifold door work quoted on inspection.

Can you repair the patio doors at a Fitzrovia mews flat?

Yes. Sliding patio and bifold mechanisms use similar multipoint parts to standard uPVC doors. Engineers carry stock for the major brands.

Do you replace whole doors or just the locks?

We focus on lock and mechanism repair. If the door itself is failing, we'll tell you straight, but most uPVC doors only need an internal repair, not replacement.

Office uPVC door won't latch, can you come during business hours?

Yes. Most commercial uPVC repairs are done same-day during 9-5 to avoid disruption. Urgent end-of-day callouts also available.

How long do you guarantee the work?

12 months on parts and labour for any mechanism, gearbox, or handle we supply.

Is it worth fixing or buying a new door?

Almost always worth fixing. A £150 repair beats a £900 replacement door, and the visible part of a uPVC door rarely needs work, only the internals.

What Our Customers Say

uPVC bifold patio door at our Covent Garden mews, locking points dropped out of alignment. Adjusted the rollers, replaced two keeps. Door now closes flush.

Emma L. uPVC door repair
uPVC office door wouldn't lift to lock at end of business. Engineer arrived inside 30 minutes from a Holborn callout. Fixed the gearbox, replaced the handle, building secure for the night.

Sophie A. uPVC door repair
Got back to my Bloomsbury flat at midnight without my keys. Concierge was off duty. Engineer reached me in 19 minutes from the call. Picked the high-security lock without a scratch. £89 weekend rate, fair enough for the hour.

James R. Emergency lockout
Tenant moved out of our Soho flat. Standard between-tenant rekey. Two cylinders replaced, six keys cut, invoice straight to the management company. Easy.
