Frequently Asked Questions — Dartford
-
My uPVC door won't lock when I lift the handle, what's wrong?
Either the multipoint gearbox has failed or the door has dropped on its hinges and the keeps are misaligned. Both are routine same-visit fixes across DA.
-
What does a uPVC mechanism replacement cost?
A new multipoint fitted is £119 to £159 depending on brand and door height. The price covers part, labour, and adjustment.
-
Can the door be repaired instead of replacing the mechanism?
If a hinge has worn or a roller has slipped, an adjustment is enough. Replacement is only quoted when the gearbox itself has failed.
-
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 Dartford.
-
Do you stock parts for new-build doors?
Yes. Avocet, Yale, Lockmaster, GU, Fuhr, Mila, and Winkhaus mechanisms are all in van stock, including the recent formats common on Dartford new-builds.
-
Is the work guaranteed?
12 months on parts and labour for any new mechanism, handle, or hinge fitted.
-
Can you fix patio and bifold doors?
Yes. Sliding patio multipoints, bifold shootbolts, and French door rollers are all stocked.
Have a different question? Just call.

-
uPVC handle came off in my hand. Engineer brought a replacement to match the chrome finish, fitted it, no marks. £79.
-
Composite door alignment had drifted with the heat. Adjusted hinges and keeps, no parts replaced, charged a fair £69 callout.
-
Came home from Gravesend to a forced front door. They came within 50 minutes, secured the property overnight, returned in the morning to fit anti-snap cylinders.
-
Two new euro cylinders fitted after losing a fob. Both keyed alike, anti-bump and anti-snap. Sensible price for the spec.
