About uPVC Door Repair
A uPVC door repair usually means fixing the multipoint locking mechanism — the long metal strip running the height of your door with multiple hooks, rollers, or shootbolts that engage into the frame when you lift the handle. When the gearbox inside that mechanism fails, the door stops locking properly.
Most multipoint mechanisms last 8-15 years. After that, the gearbox wears out from daily use. The classic symptoms: handle feels stiff, door won't lock with a single lift, you need to slam the door to engage the bolts. We replace the gearbox without removing the door panel.
Other common uPVC issues we fix: dropped doors (hinges have worn, panel sags), broken handles, faulty cylinders, blown weather seals, sticking conservatory doors. Most jobs are under 90 minutes on site. We carry Yale, Mila, Avocet, and Roto multipoint units on the van.
uPVC repair is almost always cheaper and faster than replacing the whole door. A new uPVC door is £600+ and takes a fitter half a day. Replacing the failed mechanism is under £160 and 90 minutes. We'll be straight with you if a repair won't last — sometimes the panel itself has warped and replacement is the right call.
When to call us
- Door won't lock
Most common cause: the multipoint gearbox has failed. The handle still moves but the bolts don't engage. Replacing the gearbox solves it 95% of the time.
- Door drops / scrapes the frame
Hinges have worn or the panel has shifted. We re-align the hinges and adjust the keeps. Usually fixed within an hour.
- Handle floppy or snapped
Common after years of use. We replace with a like-for-like or upgraded handle, sometimes with the cylinder if it's also worn.
- Conservatory door issues
Multipoint mechanisms in conservatory doors take more abuse from temperature swings. Replacement gearboxes typically last another 8-10 years.
- Patio door won't close properly
Often the multipoint or the runners. We diagnose and fix in one visit unless the panel is damaged.
