Why a uPVC door stops locking
Croydon's flats and newer houses often have uPVC front doors where the handle drops, the lock will not throw or the door will not close properly. Engineers carry common uPVC parts, so many repairs are done on the first visit.
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.

uPVC door repair in Croydon: common questions
My uPVC door won't lock. What is wrong?
Usually the door has dropped, so the hooks no longer line up with the frame, or the gearbox inside has worn out. Adjusting the door starts from £79; a new gearbox from £89.
The handle spins and the door will not open. Can you help?
Yes. That is a failed gearbox, one of the most common uPVC calls we get in Croydon. We open the door and fit a new gearbox.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Croydon, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Do nights and weekends cost more?
No. The price is the same at 3am on a Sunday as it is at midday on a Tuesday, bank holidays included.
How quickly can someone get to me?
An engineer is typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes, and within 30 minutes at most. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.
How do I pay?
When the job is finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, and you get a written receipt you can use for an insurance claim.
Do you cover Thornton Heath, Mitcham and Purley as well as central Croydon?
Yes. The CR area includes Thornton Heath in CR7, Mitcham in CR4, and Purley and Coulsdon in CR8 and CR5, with Caterham and Warlingham further south. The same 24 hour line, no callout fee if you go ahead, and free phone quote apply throughout.
Can you help with a flat where the front door is shared with other residents?
Yes, flats with shared entrances are common across Croydon. The engineer checks which door and lock the job involves before starting, and the price is confirmed with you first.
