Why won't my uPVC door lock anymore?

Usually the multipoint gearbox has worn out, or the door has dropped on its hinges so the locking points miss the keeps. Both are quick fixes for an experienced engineer.

How much does a uPVC repair cost in Slough?

Realignment with no parts £69. Multipoint replacement £109 to £149. Handle pair £69. Composite door cylinder swap £89 to £119.

What about the modern flats off Stoke Road?

Common stock on those is Yale or Avocet hardware. We carry both gearbox patterns. Most jobs finish in a single visit.

How long will the repair take?

Multipoint replacement runs 45 to 75 minutes depending on door brand. Hinge realignment is around 20 minutes.

Should I just buy a new door?

Almost never. New composite doors start at £900 supplied and fitted. A repair is under £160. Replacement only makes sense if the door slab is cracked or warped.

Will the same key still work after the repair?

Yes when we replace just the gearbox. The original euro cylinder and your existing keys stay. If the cylinder itself is replaced, three new keys are supplied.

Do you handle French and patio doors as well?

Yes. Sliding patio gearboxes, French door multipoints with shoot bolts, conservatory doors. All standard work for SL postcodes.
