Common uPVC window lock problems
Casement windows in older St Albans houses and uPVC windows in newer ones all wear out their locks eventually.
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 St Albans: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in St Albans?
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.
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 St Albans, 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.
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 cover Harpenden, Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City as well as St Albans?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole AL postcode area, including London Colney, Wheathampstead, Redbourn and Brookmans Park. Give us your street and postcode and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.
My house in the old part of St Albans has an original timber door. Can the lock be repaired?
Often a repair is possible rather than a replacement, and our engineers fit BS3621 mortice locks to suitable timber doors. The engineer will look at the door on arrival, explain the options and confirm the price before starting.
