Why a uPVC door stops locking
uPVC doors on the postwar estates around Pennywell, Farringdon and Grindon often drop on their hinges, stiffen at the handle or stop the multipoint lock engaging.
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 Sunderland: 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 Sunderland. 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 Sunderland, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Which areas around Sunderland do you cover?
Every SR postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Durham, Gateshead, Washington, Seaham, Roker, Houghton-le-Spring. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
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 you cover Seaham and Peterlee as well as Sunderland itself?
Yes. Our engineers cover the whole SR area, including Seaham, Murton, Peterlee, Easington and Horden as well as Sunderland, Roker and Whitburn.
Can you replace the lock on a timber door in a Victorian terrace in Hendon or Millfield?
Yes. Terraces of this kind often have timber front doors, and our engineers fit BS3621 mortice locks to suit them.
