Common uPVC window lock problems
Window locks and handles stiffen or snap on uPVC windows and on the older timber windows of Canterbury's period houses. We repair or replace them so the window closes and locks properly.
A handle that turns but does not lock, a handle that has snapped, or a window that will not close tight. Most of these come from a worn handle or a failed espagnolette, the locking bar inside the frame.
We replace handles with locking handles where you want them, so windows can be locked with a key, and fix or replace the mechanism behind them. Patio and French door locks are part of the same job.
Locksmiths who know Canterbury
Salt air along the Whitstable, Herne Bay and Thanet coast corrodes exposed locks and uPVC hardware faster than inland, and student tenancies in Canterbury mean locks are changed often between lets.

Window lock repair in Canterbury: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Canterbury?
From £69 for a uPVC window handle or lock. If the locking mechanism inside the frame has failed, the engineer tells you the price for that before doing it.
Can you fit locking window handles?
Yes. We fit keyed locking handles to uPVC windows, often asked for by insurers and by parents of young children.
Which areas around Canterbury do you cover?
Every CT postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Whitstable, Faversham, Herne Bay, Folkestone, Sandwich, Deal. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
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.

The whole of it. That means Whitstable, Herne Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, Dover and Folkestone as well as Canterbury itself. The 24 hour line, no callout fee if you go ahead, and free phone quote are the same everywhere.
Can you fit a modern lock on an old timber door?
Yes. The engineer looks at the door first and recommends a BS3621 mortice lock or similar that suits it. If the building is listed, check what consent is needed before changing visible door hardware.
