Why a uPVC door stops locking
Interwar semis in Welling and Bexleyheath have often been given replacement uPVC doors, and the newer estates around Greenhithe and Swanscombe came with composite doors, so a slack handle or a door that will not lock usually points to the multipoint mechanism.
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 Dartford: 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 Dartford. 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 Dartford, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Which areas around Dartford do you cover?
Every DA postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Gravesend, Rochester, Bexleyheath, Swanley, Greenhithe, Erith. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
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.
Do you cover Gravesend, Sidcup and Bexleyheath as well as Dartford?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole DA postcode area, including Erith, Welling, Greenhithe, Swanscombe, Longfield and the Darent Valley villages, and we also attend nearby Rochester and Swanley.
Can you fix a composite door that will not lock without replacing it?
In many cases, yes. A door that will not lock is most often down to a worn handle, gearbox or multipoint mechanism rather than the door itself, and our engineers carry common uPVC parts. If the door has dropped on its hinges, the engineer will explain what is needed and confirm the price before starting.
