Frequently Asked Questions — Preston
-
Why won't my uPVC door lift to lock?
Three usual reasons: worn multipoint gearbox, dropped door from sagging hinges, or misaligned keeps. We diagnose on arrival before quoting any parts.
-
Multipoint gearbox cost?
£69 to £159 fitted across Preston, depending on brand and case length. Common patterns are kept on the van.
-
Repair or full door replacement?
Most uPVC doors are repairable for a fraction of replacement cost. We'll tell you straight if the door is past saving, but most cases are a £100 fix not a £900 swap.
-
What about uPVC doors on 1950s estates with older lock cases?
Adapters cover most legacy gearboxes. Where the original part is obsolete a modern equivalent fits the same housing.
-
Floppy handle, what's that?
Usually a snapped spring inside the gearbox. £79 to £109 for a fresh handle pair and gearbox, fitted in around half an hour.
-
Will the door be secure after the work?
Yes. We run multiple lock and unlock cycles before leaving and confirm every hook seats correctly.
-
Can the cylinder be upgraded at the same time?
Yes, and it's our most common combined job. A 3-star anti-snap added during a multipoint repair adds £40 to £70.
