Storm Monday night and the back door at ours in Canley took a proper battering from the wind — multipoint mechanism jammed and wouldn't lock at all. Wasn't safe to leave it like that overnight with the wind still going. Phoned and the locksmith was over inside half an hour, replaced the gearbox in one visit. Price he quoted before he started was exactly what I paid at the end. Saved me a proper rough night.

uPVC door repairs near you — locks, gearboxes and mechanisms
If your uPVC door has stopped locking, dropped on its hinges, or you have to lift the handle and shove the door to engage the lock, the mechanism inside is failing. Most homeowners assume the whole door needs replacing. It almost never does. The gearbox, the handle, the multipoint rods, and the cylinder are all separate replaceable parts. We carry the common ones in the van and swap them on the same visit.
We cover uPVC doors across the UK, 24 hours a day. Labour starts at £39, locks from £25, and we don't charge a call-out fee. You only pay for the work that gets done. Most jobs finish inside 90 minutes.
A broken uPVC lock is a security gap. If the door won't lock properly overnight, treat it as an emergency. Call us and we'll send the nearest engineer straight out.
Most of the uPVC door repairs we attend start the same way: the door will not lock, the handle flops, or the key turns without moving anything. A uPVC lock repair is often all it takes. Sometimes the whole gearbox has to come out. Either way, the van that comes to you carries the common parts, so a uPVC door mechanism repair or a full uPVC lock change happens on the first visit rather than after a week of waiting for an order to arrive. This is the work our engineers do most, and it shows: a proper uPVC locksmith diagnosis takes minutes, and you get told exactly which part failed and what it costs before any work starts.

Prestwich patio door, gearbox gone on a Sunday. 40 minutes, hinges adjusted, cheaper than the window firm.
Our uPVC back door near Brunswick Square stopped locking after the autumn storms — assumed the whole door was buggered, but it turned out to be a failed gearbox. Phoned around Sunday afternoon and these came out the quickest. Bloke was polite, swapped the mechanism in about 40 minutes, and printed off the warranty before he left. Sound job and the door's been fine since.
uPVC front door in Clifton wouldn't lock from outside. Phoned 7am, engineer was on it by 7:25, swapped the multipoint gearbox, and I made my 9am meeting. Price matched the quote.
Our back door in Whitstable seized shut — salt air had eaten the gearbox. They came out same morning, swapped the mechanism and the cylinder. Inside an hour. Warranty came through by email.
Quick, fair, no faff. Locked out in Stanway around 9pm, engineer was on the doorstep in 18 minutes, popped the uPVC without snapping the cylinder, took the phone price.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does uPVC door repair cost in the UK?
Most uPVC repairs sit between £79 and £229. A gearbox swap starts around £79. Handle replacement starts at £39. A full multipoint mechanism is around £89 upwards depending on the door. We charge no call-out fee and you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Can a uPVC door be repaired without replacing the whole door?
Yes, in nearly every case. The lock parts — gearbox, handle, cylinder, multipoint — are all separate components that come out and go back in. Replacing the whole door is a last resort, usually only needed if the frame itself is badly damaged.
My uPVC door closes but won't lock — what's wrong?
Almost always a failed gearbox or a misaligned multipoint mechanism. The handle turns but the hooks and bolts aren't engaging properly. We can usually fix it on the same visit. If the door has dropped on its hinges, sometimes a hinge adjustment is all it needs.
How long does a uPVC door repair take?
Most repairs finish in 30 to 90 minutes on-site. A gearbox swap is typically 45 minutes. A full mechanism replacement can take longer. We carry common parts in the van so most jobs are completed in a single visit.
Is it an emergency if my uPVC door won't lock overnight?
Yes. An unsecured front or back door is a security risk and most home insurance policies require the property to be properly locked. We're available 24/7 including bank holidays and Christmas. Call us and we'll send the nearest engineer.
Do you repair patio uPVC doors as well as front doors?
Yes. Sliding patio doors, French doors, back doors and bifold doors are all covered. The mechanisms differ but the same engineers handle them. Pricing follows the same structure as a standard uPVC door.
Is there a uPVC door repair near me?
Almost certainly. Our engineers cover every UK postcode, so a search for uPVC door repairs near me usually ends with a van 15 to 30 minutes away. Ring 0800 048 5569, give us the street name, and the dispatcher routes the nearest uPVC locksmith to your door — gearboxes, handles and cylinders already on board.
