Over time, locks can wear out, become stiff, or stop working altogether. We repair all kinds of locks including euro cylinders, mortice locks, night latches, and multipoint systems on uPVC doors. If a repair isn’t possible, we can supply and fit a suitable replacement on the same visit.
We carry a range of parts and replacement locks with us, so most jobs can be completed quickly and affordably. Whether it’s a front door that won’t lock properly or a faulty mechanism on your back door, we’ve got it covered. We’ll always explain your options clearly and only recommend a replacement if it’s truly necessary.
uPVC Door and Window Lock Help
uPVC locks are common in modern homes, but they’re prone to problems over time—especially in areas with changing weather and heavy use. If your door won’t lock, the handle feels stiff, or the key sticks, it’s likely the internal mechanism needs adjustment or repair.
We work on all types of uPVC door and window locks in Durham, including multipoint locking systems and euro cylinders. Many issues can be repaired quickly with parts we carry in our van. If the lock can’t be fixed, we’ll suggest a reliable replacement that fits your door perfectly and keeps your property secure.
