uPVC Door Lock Repairs
Most uPVC door problems are caused by faults within the locking mechanism rather than the door itself.
Common problems include:
- Door Won't Lock
- Door Won't Open
- Stiff Handles
- Failed Gearboxes
- Failed Multipoint Locks
- Locking Points Not Engaging
- Key Turns But Nothing Happens
- Door Stuck Closed
- Door Stuck Open
- Broken Handles
- Failed Cylinders
Many faults can be repaired without replacing the complete locking mechanism.
uPVC Door Gearbox Replacement
The gearbox is the heart of a multipoint locking system and one of the most common parts to fail.
Common signs of gearbox failure include:
- Handle Dropping Down
- Handle Spinning Freely
- Door Not Locking Properly
- Key Turning Without Operating The Lock
- Locking Points Failing To Engage
- Door Jammed Shut
In many cases, replacing the gearbox is significantly cheaper than replacing the complete locking mechanism.
Multipoint Lock Repairs
Most modern uPVC doors use multipoint locking systems operated by a central gearbox.
The Key Locksmith repairs and replaces:
- Multipoint Lock Mechanisms
- Lock Centres
- Gearboxes
- Hooks
- Rollers
- Deadbolts
- Keeps
- Handles
- Euro Cylinders
I regularly work on mechanisms from Lockmaster, ERA, Winkhaus, GU, Fullex, Fuhr, Millenco, Yale, Mila, Avocet, KFV and many other manufacturers.
uPVC Door Alignment & Adjustment
A dropped or misaligned uPVC door can place excessive strain on the locking system.
Common symptoms include:
- Handle Difficult To Lift
- Door Catching On The Frame
- Door Needs Pushing To Lock
- Locking Points Rubbing
- Stiff Operation
Correct alignment can often improve operation and help prevent future lock failures.
uPVC Door Handle Replacement
Broken or worn handles are a common issue on older doors.
Services include:
- Door Handle Replacement
- Security Handle Upgrades
- Broken Handle Repairs
- Matching Handle Replacement Where Available
Modern security handles can also help protect the cylinder against attack.
Euro Cylinder Replacement
Lost your keys or looking to improve security?
Cylinder services include:
- Euro Cylinder Replacement
- Anti-Snap Cylinder Upgrades
- Thumbturn Cylinders
- Lost Key Solutions
- Keyed Alike Cylinders
A high-security cylinder can provide significantly better protection than older standard cylinders.

A Recent uPVC Door Repair
Recently I attended a customer in Orpington whose uPVC front door had become increasingly difficult to lock.
The customer had to lift the handle aggressively to engage the locking points and was worried the door would eventually fail completely.
After inspection, I identified a combination of door misalignment and a worn gearbox. The door was adjusted, the gearbox replaced and the locking system serviced.
The door was operating smoothly again during the same visit and the customer avoided the cost of replacing the entire mechanism.
