Why a uPVC door stops locking
A uPVC or composite door that has stopped locking, on an estate in Leigh Park or a newer home in Whiteley, usually comes down to the multipoint mechanism, the handle or the gearbox. Engineers carry common uPVC parts and often fix the fault 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 Portsmouth: 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 Portsmouth. 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 on the mainland. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.

Every PO postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Southampton, Fareham, Gosport, Havant, Cosham, Portsea. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
