What causes multi-point lock failure on uPVC doors?

The gearbox wears out over time. Signs include a stiff handle or door not locking at all. We replace the gearbox on the same visit.

Do you repair wooden, composite, and uPVC doors?

Yes. We repair all door types including wooden, composite, uPVC, aluminium, bifold, sliding, and fire doors.

Is there a call-out fee for door repairs?

FAQ

Door Repair Questions Answered

Usually not. A door that drags is typically caused by dropped hinges, a slightly warped frame after warm or wet weather, or a swollen door edge. In most cases we can fix it on the same visit by adjusting or replacing hinges, planing the door edge slightly, or resetting the keep plate. We'll assess it first and confirm the price before touching anything.

This is a classic sign that the gearbox inside the multipoint locking mechanism is worn or starting to fail. The gearbox is the part that engages all the locking points when you lift the handle. Left too long it can fail completely and leave the door unable to lock. We carry common gearbox replacements in the van and can usually fix it same-day without replacing the whole door or frame.

Yes — this is exactly what we do. Call us immediately. We'll reinforce or temporarily board the door, replace the damaged lock(s), repair the frame and keep plate where possible, and leave the property secure before we go. We provide a job report for your insurance company. We aim to attend within hours of a break-in call during daytime, or as fast as possible overnight.

Yes. We repair wooden, uPVC, composite, aluminium, bifold, sliding, and fire doors. Each type has its own hardware and repair approach. Whether it's a wooden door with a failing mortice, a composite door with a broken multipoint mechanism, or a bifold with a misaligned track — we handle all of them.

No call-out fee, ever — and we charge the same rates day and night. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises. Call 07300 177738 or WhatsApp and we'll quote you quickly.
