Why a uPVC door stops locking
Newer estates in Bicester, Didcot and Witney, and many extended Oxford houses, have uPVC and composite doors where the multipoint lock, handle or gearbox is the usual weak point. Our engineers carry common uPVC parts, so many repairs are done in a single 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 Oxford: 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 Oxford. We open the door and fit a new gearbox.
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 Oxford, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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.
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 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 villages like Kidlington, Woodstock and Wheatley as well as central Oxford?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole OX postcode area, from Kidlington, Woodstock and Wheatley to Abingdon, Witney, Bicester and Banbury. Give us your village and street and we will confirm the arrival time on the call.
Can you replace a lock on an old timber door in a period or listed house?
Yes. We fit BS3621 mortice locks and anti-snap cylinders to timber doors in Georgian and Victorian houses. If your building is listed, check with the council before changing external door furniture, and tell the engineer when you call.
