Why a uPVC door stops locking
Leicester's newer estates and renovated terraces are full of uPVC and composite doors, and a door that will not lock usually points to the multipoint mechanism, handle or gearbox. Our engineers carry common uPVC parts, so many faults can be fixed during the 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 Leicester: 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 Leicester. We open the door and fit a new gearbox.
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 repair composite doors too?
Yes. Composite doors use the same multipoint locks and euro cylinders, so we repair them the same way.
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.
Can you change the locks on a shared student house in Leicester?
Yes. We can fit new locks to front and back doors and hand the new keys to the landlord or tenants on completion. We will confirm who is entitled to authorise the work before we start.
Do you cover Loughborough, Hinckley and Melton Mowbray as well as Leicester?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole LE postcode area, including Coalville, Market Harborough, Lutterworth, Oakham and Uppingham. Tell us your town and street when you call and we will confirm when the engineer will arrive.
