Common uPVC window lock problems
Timber windows in the older terraces of Avenham and Deepdale, and uPVC windows in newer homes, all wear out their locks and handles in time.
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.

Window lock repair in Preston: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Preston?
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 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.
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 Preston, 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.
Do you cover Chorley, Leyland and Southport as well as Preston?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole PR postcode area, including Penwortham, Longridge, Kirkham, Garstang, Chorley, Leyland and Southport.
Can you look at the back door of my terrace as well as the front?
Yes. Engineers can check both doors in the same visit and replace the lock on either, fitting BS3621 mortice locks or anti-snap cylinders where the door suits them. The quote is free on the phone.
