Why a uPVC door stops locking
uPVC and composite doors are common on newer Shetland houses, and constant wind can leave them dropped on the hinges, stiff on the handle or slow to lock. Our engineers carry common uPVC parts, so many faults in Lerwick, Brae and Sandwick can be repaired during 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.
Locksmiths who know Lerwick
Shetland has few trees to slow the wind, so winter gales and salt spray hit doors and windows head on, wearing hinges, handles and cylinders and swelling timber frames.

uPVC door repair in Lerwick: 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 Lerwick. 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.
How quickly can someone get to me?
An engineer is typically with you in 30 to 60 minutes. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.
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 Lerwick, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 you cover Unst and the other isles, or only the Mainland?
The 24-hour line covers the whole ZE postcode area, including Unst. Ferry crossings and distances affect timings, so give us your postcode on the call and we will tell you the arrival time for your address.
I am locked out in a winter gale in the middle of the night. Is there a callout fee?
There is no callout fee if you go ahead at any hour. You get a free quote on the phone, and the engineer confirms the price before starting work, so you know the cost before anything begins.
