uPVC Door and Window Lock Repairs
uPVC doors and windows are durable, but the locking mechanisms inside them can wear out, jam, or become misaligned over time. If your door won’t lock, the handle is floppy, or your window won’t shut properly, we can help. We specialise in repairing multipoint locking systems, replacing gearboxes, and fixing or upgrading cylinders and handles to get everything working smoothly again.
We carry most common uPVC parts with us, which means many repairs can be completed during the same visit—saving you time and inconvenience. Whether it’s a stiff patio door or a faulty front door, we’ll identify the issue quickly and offer a practical, cost-effective fix. We work throughout Sunderland, from residential estates to coastal homes, and always aim to repair before we recommend replacement. You’ll get honest advice and long-lasting results.

Whether you’ve moved home, lost your keys, or just want better protection, we offer professional lock changes and upgrades across Sunderland. We install modern, insurance-approved locks, including anti-snap and high-security cylinders, to help keep your home or business safe.
If you’re unsure about the quality of your current locks, we can assess them and recommend better options.
