My uPVC door will not lock in Weymouth, can you fix it?

Yes, this is one of our most frequent jobs on the newer estates at Littlemoor, Chickerell and Crossways. When the handle lifts but the key will not turn, the multipoint gearbox inside has usually failed. We carry common mechanisms on the van so most doors are repaired the same visit rather than left insecure.

What goes wrong with uPVC doors near the coast?

Salt air off Weymouth Bay is hard on hardware, so cylinders and multipoint gears corrode and seize faster than they would inland. Portland and the exposed Overcombe and Preston seafront see this most. Doors also drop on their hinges over time, which strains the mechanism until it gives out.

Do I need a whole new door or just a repair?

Usually a repair. In most cases we replace the failed gearbox, cylinder or handle and realign the door, which is far cheaper than a full replacement. We only tell you a door is beyond saving if the frame or panel itself is genuinely shot, and we show you why.

Can you fit an anti-snap cylinder while you are there?

Yes, and it is worth doing. A lot of the uPVC and composite doors around Weymouth still have basic cylinders that snap easily, a known burglary method. We fit a TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinder that resists it, and it is a small upgrade to add while the door is already open for a repair.

How much does a uPVC door repair cost in Weymouth?

uPVC repairs start from 69 pounds, with the exact figure depending on whether it is a cylinder, a handle, an alignment issue or a full multipoint mechanism. We diagnose the fault, quote it before starting, and there is nothing added at the end beyond what was agreed.

My composite door has dropped and is catching, can you sort it?

Yes. Composite doors on the modern Chickerell and Crossways builds often drop on the hinges and start catching the frame, which puts strain on the lock. We adjust the hinges and keeps, realign the door, and repair the mechanism if it has already been damaged by the binding.

Do you repair uPVC windows as well as doors?

We do. Failed window locks and espagnolette mechanisms are common on the same coastal stock, and a window that will not lock is both a security and an insurance problem. We repair or replace the locking gear on uPVC windows across Weymouth alongside the door work.

What Our Customers Say

Key would not turn in our uPVC door in Radipole one morning. Turned out the cylinder had corroded. He swapped it for an anti-snap one and showed me why the old one was a risk. 89 pounds well spent.

Ryan C. uPVC door repair
The multipoint on our uPVC back door in Littlemoor packed up, handle just flopped about. He had the gearbox on the van and had it locking again within the hour. 95 pounds and a tidy job.

Darren P. uPVC door repair
Rang about a lockout at a holiday flat in Overcombe where the key safe had jammed and my guests were stuck outside. Sorted in 20 minutes, guests got in, and he rekeyed the safe for me. 70 pounds, brilliant service.

Paul D. Emergency lockout
Attempted break-in on our place in Westham left the frame splintered. Same evening he made it secure and came back the next day to fit British Standard locks for the insurance. Calm and reassuring when we were rattled.
