Why a uPVC door stops locking
uPVC and composite doors are common on the suburban estates around Gosforth, Kenton and Throckley, and their multipoint locks and gearboxes wear with time. Our engineers carry common uPVC parts, so a repair can often be finished in the same 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 Newcastle: 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 Newcastle. 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.
Which areas around Newcastle do you cover?
Every NE postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Hexham, Jesmond, Heaton. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 Newcastle, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 you cover Gateshead, North Tyneside and Northumberland as well as Newcastle?
Yes. The NE postcode area stretches from Gateshead and Wallsend to Whitley Bay, Morpeth and Hexham, and one 24-hour number covers it.
Does sea air really affect door locks on the Northumberland coast?
Salt air can corrode external lock cases, cylinders and uPVC hardware over time, so seafront properties in Whitley Bay and Tynemouth may need parts replaced sooner. If a lock is stiff or rusty, call us and the engineer will tell you whether to repair or replace it.
