Why won't my uPVC door lift up to lock?

Usually the hinges have dropped or the keeps have moved out of line with the multipoint. Adjustment starts at £69 in Taunton and takes about half an hour. Very common on the 1990s and 2000s doors around Priorswood and Halcon.

How much for a new multipoint mechanism?

£119 to £189 fitted. We carry Yale, Avocet, Mila, Fuhr and Fullex gear on the van for the frames fitted across the TA postcodes over the last thirty years.

The door is stiff and hard to lock since the wet weather. Normal?

It is a Vale of Taunton Deane special. Damp swells the door and the frame, and the multipoint drags. We service the gearbox, adjust the keeps and it locks with one finger again for £69 to £99.

The handle feels ready to snap. Quick fix?

Yes. PAS24 anti-snap handles in white, brown or chrome are £39 to £79 fitted and we stock them on the van. Worth doing before it fails and leaves you locked out.

Do I need a whole new door or can it be repaired?

Almost always the door itself is fine. It is the mechanism, hinges, gaskets and keeps that wear, not the slab, so a repair is far cheaper than a replacement door on a new-build estate.

Do you fix composite doors on the new estates too?

Yes. Comeytrowe, Monkton Heathfield and Sherford are full of composite doors on multipoint gear. Same parts, same fitting, same day where we can.

Is the repair guaranteed?

Twelve months on parts and labour. Manufacturer warranties on multipoint gear can run to ten years where they apply.

What Our Customers Say

Damp had swollen the back door so much I couldn't lock it going to work. He shaved the edge, adjusted the multipoint keeps and serviced the mech. No more fighting with it. £99.

Lauren V. uPVC door repair
Composite front door at Orchard Grove wouldn't catch the top hook. Adjusted the hinges and serviced the whole strip, locks like new. £79 and no upsell.

Ryan A. uPVC door repair
Old rim nightlatch on a town-centre terrace near Vivary Park had finally given up. Swapped it for a British Standard version to keep the insurer happy. Neat work, £119.

Patricia G. Lock change
Upgraded the front cylinder on our 1990s Priorswood semi to a proper anti-snap after reading about lock snapping. Twenty minutes, £89, peace of mind.
