Why a uPVC door stops locking
Stiff handles, doors that drop and multipoint mechanisms that stop catching are common faults on the uPVC doors of Springfield, Brentwood and Harlow. Our engineers carry common uPVC parts and fit new anti-snap cylinders where needed.
Most uPVC doors use a multipoint lock: one handle drives a gearbox in the door edge, which throws hooks and rollers into the frame. When the handle goes floppy, spins, or will not lift, the gearbox has usually worn out. When the door needs force to lock, it has usually dropped on its hinges.
We replace the gearbox or the full strip when they have failed, and adjust hinges and keeps so the door closes cleanly again. We carry the common gearbox sizes, so most repairs are done in one visit.
The same goes for uPVC patio doors and other double-glazed doors: multipoint locks, handles, gearboxes and cylinders are repaired or replaced the same way.

Yes. That is a failed gearbox, one of the most common uPVC calls we get in Chelmsford. We open the door and fit a new gearbox.
