Why a uPVC door stops locking
uPVC doors on the newer homes around Morecambe, Heysham and Carnforth can jam, drop or refuse to lock as the hinges settle. Our engineers carry common uPVC parts, so a broken handle or failed multipoint lock can often be mended in one 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 Lancaster: 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 Lancaster. We open the door and fit a new gearbox.
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 repair composite doors too?
Yes. Composite doors use the same multipoint locks and euro cylinders, so we repair them the same way.
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.
Which areas around Lancaster do you cover?
Every LA postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Morecambe, Carnforth, Garstang, Kendal, Heysham, Caton. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
Do you cover Morecambe, Kendal and Carnforth as well as Lancaster?
Yes. The same 24/7 line covers Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham, Carnforth, Kendal and the villages around them. Give your address when you call and we will confirm the arrival time and a free quote.
I am a landlord with a student let near the university. Can you re-key between tenancies?
Yes. Re-keying or fitting new cylinders between tenancies is a routine job, and the engineer can supply keys for each tenant. Anti-snap cylinders also make the door harder to attack.
