 What we specialise in

Door mechanism and multipoint lock repairs

Multipoint locks have several locking points and internal parts that can wear out, especially the gearbox and locking strip. We diagnose what's actually failed and repair or replace only what's needed.

Door realignment (fix dropped or sticking doors)

If the door drags on the frame or won't lock cleanly, alignment is often the real culprit. We adjust the hinges and keeps so the door closes and locks smoothly again.

Our realignment approach typically includes:

• Checking hinges, keeps, and the multipoint locking strip
• Adjusting hinge height and compression
• Resetting keeps to the correct engagement points
• Testing all locking points
• Lubricating and tightening moving parts

Handle repairs and handle replacement

Loose, floppy, stiff, or non-springing handles are common. Replacing the handle (or addressing a worn internal spring setup) can prevent bigger mechanism failures later. We can replace common uPVC and composite lever handles and match common finishes.

"Handle won't open" faults

When a handle won't open the door, it's often not the handle. Common causes include a jammed multipoint mechanism/gearbox, a dropped door creating pressure on the strip, a sticking cylinder, or weather-related stiffness.

Repairs for specific door types

We also handle repairs on:

• Front and back uPVC/composite doors (stiff, hard to lock, not closing right)
• Conservatory doors (multipoint systems and lock faults)
Patio and French doors (lock repairs and mechanism issues)
