Frequently Asked Questions — Hemel Hempstead
-
Why won't my uPVC door lift to lock?
Hinge drop is the usual cause, putting the multipoint out of alignment with the keeps. Hemel's new-town housing has a lot of 1980s and 1990s frames where this is a routine fix from £69.
-
What does a new multipoint mechanism cost?
£119 to £189 fitted. Yale, Avocet, Mila and Fullex gear is carried on the van for the gear most commonly used across HP postcodes.
-
Loose or wobbling handle. Repairable?
Yes. PAS24 anti-snap handles in white, brown or chrome are £49 to £79 fitted, in stock on the van.
-
Can the door be saved or do I need a new one?
Almost always the slab is fine. Mechanism, hinges and gaskets wear out long before the frame does, even on 30-year-old new-town doors.
-
Do you handle French doors and patio sliders?
Yes. Same engineers, same vans. Roller and track work on sliders runs £89 to £139.
-
How quickly can someone come?
Same-day for most jobs, 20 to 28 minutes if you can't lock or unlock the door.
-
Is the work guaranteed?
12 months on parts and labour. Manufacturer warranties on multipoint gear can extend to 10 years where applicable.
