Frequently Asked Questions — Darlington
-
Why won't my uPVC door lock anymore?
Either the multipoint gearbox has failed or the door has dropped on its hinges and the keeps no longer line up. Both are routine same-visit fixes.
-
What's the cost of a uPVC mechanism replacement?
A new multipoint fitted is £119 to £159 depending on brand and door size. The price covers the part, labour, and adjustment.
-
Can the door be repaired instead of replacing the mechanism?
If a hinge is worn or a roller has slipped, an adjustment is enough. Replacement is only quoted when the gearbox itself has gone.
-
The handle has snapped, can I keep using the door?
Stop using it and call. A snapped handle often jams the spindle in the gearbox and can lock you in. Same-day repair across DL.
-
Do you carry parts for older 1960s estate doors?
Yes. Avocet, Yale, Lockmaster, GU, Fuhr, and Mila gearboxes are all in van stock, including legacy formats from the 1990s.
-
Is the work guaranteed?
12 months on parts and labour for any replacement mechanism, handle, or hinge.
-
Can you fix patio and bifold doors as well?
Yes. Sliding patio multipoints, bifold shootbolts, and French door rollers are stocked alongside standard hinged uPVC parts.
