Frequently Asked Questions — Kingston
-
Why won't my uPVC door lock when I lift the handle?
Most often the multipoint gearbox or a locking hook has failed. On Kingston properties with 1990s and 2000s uPVC installations this is the single most common call. Repair is £69 to £159 depending on the brand.
-
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 in place.
-
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. Quoted as a single combined job.
-
Why has the door stiffened?
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.
-
Are French and patio doors covered?
Yes. 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.
