uPVC door not locking. Why?

Door drop or worn multipoint gearbox. Hooks stop aligning with the keep, the mechanism wears, weather conditions accelerate it. Hinge realignment plus a gearbox swap fixes most cases.

Cost of a uPVC repair?

£69 hinge and keep alignment. £149 to £159 for a full multipoint gearbox replacement.

Replace just the gearbox?

Yes. The gearbox fails most. Common patterns stocked on the van. Full-strip rare unless hooks themselves are damaged.

Snapped handle, fix today?

Inline and offset uPVC handles in stock. Twenty minutes once we identify the spindle and any colour match.

Composite doors as well?

Yes. Same multipoint locking systems, just thicker slab. Same parts, same engineers.

Almost never. Failures are mechanism, hinges or keep. Slab itself is fine in 95% of cases.

How quickly out for a uPVC repair?

Same-day for emergencies in WV1 to WV14. Booked appointments usually within 24 to 48 hours.
