Common uPVC lock problems
- The door has dropped and needs lifting to lock
- The handle is loose or will not spring back
- The key turns but the hooks or bolts do not move
- The multipoint mechanism has seized or failed
- A window, patio or French door lock no longer catches
What is involved
We inspect the door alignment, handles, keeps, cylinder and multipoint mechanism. Sometimes an adjustment or replacement gearbox is all that is needed. If the full mechanism has worn out, we explain the options before fitting it.
Price guidance
A uPVC multipoint mechanism is typically £180–£280. A euro cylinder lock change is £85–£120 fitted, or £110–£160 for a snap-resistant or anti-bump upgrade. No call-out fee. Prices are quoted before we set off, and held for two weeks.
