Frequently Asked Questions — Ipswich
-
Why won't my uPVC door lock when the handle is lifted?
Most often the multipoint gearbox or one of the locking hooks has failed. On Ipswich estates from the 1990s and 2000s this is the most common call. Repair is £69 to £159 depending on the brand of mechanism.
-
Can the gearbox be replaced without changing the door?
Yes. The gearbox is a strip-out part. Once the lock case is removed, a matching unit goes back in. The door panel and frame stay untouched.
-
How long does it take?
30 to 60 minutes on the doorstep in most cases. Yale, ERA, Avocet, Mila, Maco and GU gearboxes are all stocked in the van.
-
Loose handle and dragging door, both fixable in one visit?
Yes. Loose handles need new spindles and screws, dragging doors need hinge adjustment or fresh keeps. Both quoted as one combined job.
-
Why has the door gone stiff?
Hinges drop over time and the panel sags slightly, throwing the multipoint hooks off line with the keeps. A 20 minute alignment usually solves it.
-
What about French and patio doors?
Both covered. Multipoint repairs on French doors and roller replacement on sliding patio sets are part of the standard service.
-
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every uPVC repair has a 12 month parts and labour guarantee, listed on the written invoice.
