Common uPVC window lock problems
Exposed windows in Orkney and Caithness take wind and salt air throughout the year, and their handles and locks stiffen and wear. We repair or replace them so windows in Kirkwall, Thurso and Wick close and secure 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 Kirkwall
Salt-laden wind and driving rain off the Pentland Firth and the North Sea wear locks and swell timber doors, so exposed doors in Orkney and Caithness need regular attention.

Window lock repair in Kirkwall: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Kirkwall?
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 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.
How quickly can someone get to me?
An engineer is typically with you in 30 to 60 minutes. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.
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 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 cover Caithness and Sutherland as well as Kirkwall?
Yes. The 24/7 line covers Wick, Thurso, Lybster, Helmsdale, Brora and Golspie as well as Kirkwall. Distances are long in this part of Scotland, so we confirm the arrival time for your address when you call.
Can you help if I am locked out of a croft or farmhouse a long way from town?
Yes. Call the 24/7 line, tell us where you are and we confirm the arrival time for your address.
