Frequently Asked Questions — Derby
-
Why won't my uPVC door lock?
Either the multipoint gearbox has failed or the door has dropped on its hinges and the keeps are out of line. Both are routine same-visit fixes across DE.
-
Cost of a uPVC mechanism replacement?
A new multipoint fitted is £119 to £159 depending on brand and door height. Price covers part, labour, and adjustment.
-
Can the door be repaired rather than replaced?
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 use the door?
Stop using it and call. A snapped handle often jams the spindle in the gearbox and can lock you in or out. Same-day repair across Derby.
-
Do you have parts for older interwar semi doors?
Yes. Avocet, Yale, Lockmaster, GU, Fuhr, and Mila gearboxes are all in van stock, including the older formats common on 1990s Derby estates.
-
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 too?
Yes. Sliding patio multipoints, bifold shootbolts, and French door rollers are all stocked alongside standard hinged uPVC parts.
Have a different question? Just call.
