Multi-Point Lock & Gearbox Replacement
Many modern uPVC doors use a multi-point locking system. When the internal gearbox fails, the door may not lock at all. We can replace faulty gearboxes and locking strips quickly and professionally, restoring full function and security. We stock common multi-point locking systems and gearboxes to allow fast same-day repairs wherever possible.
Why uPVC Doors Fail
uPVC doors rely on a multi-point locking mechanism that runs the full height of the door. Over time, regular use can cause internal components such as the gearbox, hooks or rollers to wear out.
Common causes of failure include door misalignment, worn hinges, temperature changes causing expansion, or internal mechanism wear.
Early repair can prevent complete lock failure and improve both security and ease of use.
Repair Instead of Replace
In many cases, a faulty uPVC door or window can be repaired rather than replaced. We aim to provide cost-effective repairs wherever possible, helping you avoid unnecessary expense.
