Frequently Asked Questions — Croydon
-
My uPVC door won't lock when I lift the handle. What's wrong?
Most often the multipoint gearbox has failed or the keeps are misaligned after the door has dropped. Both are routine same-visit fixes in Croydon.
-
How much does a uPVC mechanism replacement cost?
A new multipoint mechanism fitted is £119 to £159 depending on brand and door height. Includes the part, labour, and adjustment.
-
Can you repair instead of replace?
Where a hinge has worn or a roller has slipped, adjustment is enough. Replacement is only quoted when the gearbox has actually failed.
-
My handle has snapped off, can I still use the door?
Stop using it and call. A snapped handle often means the spindle is jammed in the gearbox, which can lock you in or out. Same-day fix in CR.
-
Do you stock parts for older doors?
Yes. Avocet, Yale, Lockmaster, GU, Fuhr, Mila, and Winkhaus mechanisms are all in van stock, including some older formats common on 1990s Croydon estates.
-
Will you guarantee the repair?
12 months on parts and labour for any new mechanism or handle fitted.
-
Can you also fix patio and bifold doors?
Yes. Sliding patio multipoints, bifold shootbolts, and French door rollers are all stocked alongside standard hinged uPVC parts.
Have a different question? Just call.
