Common uPVC window lock problems
Older timber windows in Dumfries villas and village houses collect loose catches and fasteners, and uPVC windows in newer homes wear in their own way.
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 Dumfries
Galloway's wet, windy weather leaves older timber doors in farmhouses and cottages swollen and stiff, so locks bind or fail to line up with the keep.

Window lock repair in Dumfries: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Dumfries?
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.
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.
Which areas around Dumfries do you cover?
Every DG postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Annan, Lockerbie, Castle Douglas, Dalbeattie, Stranraer. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 Dumfries, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 far across Dumfries and Galloway do you cover?
The same 24-hour line covers the whole DG postcode area, from Gretna, Annan and Langholm in the east to Newton Stewart, Wigtown and Stranraer in the west. Distances are longer in the countryside, so give us your postcode on the call and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.
Can you deal with the lock on an older cottage or farmhouse door?
Yes. Older timber doors often carry a mortice lock or a rim lock, and our engineers can repair or replace either. Where the door is suitable we fit a BS3621 lock, and the engineer explains the options and confirms the price before starting.
