Frequently Asked Questions — Exeter
-
Why won't my uPVC door lift to lock?
Most often the hinges have dropped or the keeps have shifted out of alignment with the multipoint. Adjustment costs from £69 in Exeter and takes about half an hour.
-
How much for a new multipoint mechanism?
£119 to £189 fitted. We carry Yale, Avocet, Mila and Fullex gear on the van for the 1980s and 1990s frames common across the EX postcodes.
-
The handle feels like it's about to break. Easy fix?
Yes. PAS24 anti-snap handles in white, brown or chrome are £49 to £79 fitted, in stock on the van.
-
Can my door be saved or do I need a new one?
In nearly all cases the door itself is fine. Mechanism, hinges, gaskets and keeps are the parts that wear out, not the frame.
-
Do you handle patio sliders too?
Yes. Roller replacement and track cleaning runs £89 to £139. Common job on extensions out toward Pinhoe and Heavitree.
-
How quickly can you come out?
Same-day for most uPVC issues, within 25 minutes if you're locked out and need access urgently.
-
Is the work guaranteed?
12 months on parts and labour. Manufacturer warranties on multipoint gear can extend to 10 years where applicable.
