Common uPVC window lock problems
Snapped handles and stiff window locks are a regular repair in older frames across Galashiels, Hawick and Kelso.
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 Galashiels

Window lock repair in Galashiels: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Galashiels?
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.
My window will not close properly. Can you fix it?
Usually, yes. It is often the hinges or the keeps that need adjusting, which is quicker and cheaper than replacing parts.
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 Galashiels, 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 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.
Do you cover Melrose, Kelso, Hawick and Selkirk as well as Galashiels?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole TD postcode area, including Melrose, Kelso, Selkirk, Jedburgh, Hawick, Duns, Coldstream and Eyemouth.
Do you cover Berwick-upon-Tweed even though it is in England?
Yes. Berwick-upon-Tweed sits in the TD postcode area even though it is in Northumberland, and our engineers cover it along with the Scottish Borders towns.
