Common uPVC window lock problems
Georgian and Victorian sash windows in the New Town and the Southside lose their catches and fasteners over time, and uPVC windows in newer flats 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 Edinburgh
Many Old Town and Southside flats around the university are let to students and festival visitors, so keys go astray and locks need re-keying more often between tenants.

Window lock repair in Edinburgh: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Edinburgh?
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.
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.
Which areas around Edinburgh do you cover?
Every EH postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Livingston, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Penicuik, Bathgate, Haddington. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 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.
Can you open a flat door on a shared stair in a tenement or New Town building?
Yes. Period doors in listed buildings can be repaired or fitted with a suitable lock, but any change to how the door looks may need consent from the council.
Do you cover Leith, Musselburgh and Livingston as well as central Edinburgh?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole EH postcode area, including Dalkeith, Penicuik, Haddington, Bathgate and Queensferry.
