Why won't my uPVC door lock without lifting the handle hard?

Door has dropped on its hinges and the multipoint hooks no longer line up with the keeps. Hinge adjustment fixes it in around 20 minutes most of the time.

What does uPVC repair cost in Coventry?

Hinge realignment £69 to £89. Multipoint gearbox replacement £139 to £189. Handle and spindle £79 to £109.

Can you replace just the gearbox or do I need a new door?

Almost always just the gearbox. Vans carry GU, Yale, Maco, Fuhr, ERA stock. Door replacement is rare.

Handle has gone floppy, what is it?

Internal cassette has worn or snapped. Easy fix, around 60 minutes once the right size is identified.

Patio and bifold doors covered?

Yes. Same multipoint mechanisms as standard uPVC, just larger frames. Sliders, French doors, bifolds covered across CV postcodes.

Will the door look the same after repair?

Yes. Internals replaced, exterior untouched. New handles matched to existing finish where possible.

How long does the typical repair take?

Most jobs done within an hour. Hinge adjustments closer to 20 minutes. Gearbox swaps around 60.
