Common uPVC window lock problems
Broken window handles and stiff locking keeps are a regular repair in older uPVC frames across Watford, Bushey and Borehamwood. We repair or replace the handles and locks so windows close and lock again.
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 Watford: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Watford?
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 do I pay?
When the job is finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, and you get a written receipt you can use for an insurance claim.
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 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 Watford, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 Rickmansworth, Chorleywood and Kings Langley as well as Watford?
Yes. Our engineers cover the whole WD area, including Rickmansworth, Chorleywood, Kings Langley, Abbots Langley, Bushey, Borehamwood and Radlett.
Can you upgrade the front door lock on a 1930s house around Cassiobury?
Yes. Many older homes around Watford still have their original locks, and our engineers can fit a BS3621 mortice lock or an anti-snap cylinder to suit the door. The quote is free on the phone, and the price is confirmed before work begins.
