Why a uPVC door stops locking
Newer homes in Stornoway, Sandwick and Back often have uPVC or composite doors, and wind and salt air wear their handles and multipoint mechanisms.
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 Stornoway
Atlantic gales, driving rain and salt in the air are hard on hinges, handles and cylinders, and a strong gust can slam a door shut with the keys still inside.

uPVC door repair in Stornoway: 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 Stornoway. We open the door and fit a new gearbox.
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 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.
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 you cover Harris, the Uists and Barra as well as Lewis?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole HS postcode area, from Stornoway and Tarbert to Lochmaddy, Balivanich, Lochboisdale and Castlebay. Island travel can add time, so give us your postcode on the call and we will tell you the arrival time.
My front door has gone stiff after a winter of Atlantic weather. Can the lock be repaired?
Often, yes. Salt air and driving rain wear on cylinders, hinges and handles, and our engineers can free, repair or replace the lock and check the door closes properly. The engineer confirms the price before starting work.
