Why a uPVC door stops locking
Plenty of Derby's interwar and postwar estates now have uPVC doors, and the usual faults are a handle that drops, a lock that will not throw or a door that drags. Engineers carry common uPVC parts, so many repairs are completed 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 Derby: 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 Derby. We open the door and fit a new gearbox.
Which areas around Derby do you cover?
Every DE postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Nottingham, Burton upon Trent, Long Eaton, Ilkeston, Belper, Ashbourne. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
How does pricing work?
Tell us the door, the lock and what has happened, and we give you a free quote on the phone. When the engineer arrives, they check the lock and confirm the final price with you before starting any work. Nothing is done without your agreement. A £49 assessment fee applies only if you cancel after the engineer has arrived.
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 repair composite doors too?
Yes. Composite doors use the same multipoint locks and euro cylinders, so we repair them the same way.
Do you cover Ilkeston, Burton upon Trent and Matlock as well as Derby?
Yes. The DE area includes Ilkeston, Swadlincote and Burton upon Trent as well as Matlock, Belper, Ashbourne and Bakewell. The same 24 hour line, no callout fee if you go ahead, and free phone quote apply throughout.
My timber door swells and sticks in wet weather. Is that a lock problem?
It can be either. A swollen door can stop a lock from throwing, so the engineer checks the door, the lock and the keep before suggesting a repair or a replacement. The price is confirmed with you before work begins.
