Why a uPVC door stops locking
Many homes across Basildon, Rayleigh and Hockley have uPVC or composite doors, and one that will not lock usually points to the multipoint mechanism, the handle or the gearbox. Our engineers carry common uPVC parts, so many faults can be fixed on 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 Southend: 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 Southend. We open the door and fit a new gearbox.
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.
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.
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 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 Basildon, Rayleigh and Canvey Island as well as Southend?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole SS postcode area, including Leigh-on-Sea, Rochford, Hockley, Wickford and Stanford-le-Hope.
Can salt air damage a lock on a seafront flat?
It can. Salt in the air corrodes exterior locks, hinges and handles over time, which is why they stiffen or seize near the sea. An engineer can free, repair or replace the lock, and will confirm the price before starting.
