Common uPVC window lock problems
Window handles snap and locking keeps seize on older frames in terraces across Hendon, Monkwearmouth and Roker, as well as in newer homes in Peterlee and Seaham.
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 Sunderland: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Sunderland?
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 Sunderland, 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 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 cover Seaham and Peterlee as well as Sunderland itself?
Yes. Our engineers cover the whole SR area, including Seaham, Murton, Peterlee, Easington and Horden as well as Sunderland, Roker and Whitburn.
Can you replace the lock on a timber door in a Victorian terrace in Hendon or Millfield?
Yes. Terraces of this kind often have timber front doors, and our engineers fit BS3621 mortice locks to suit them.
