What is a uPVC door repair?

A uPVC door repair means finding out why a door won’t lock, close or open properly and fixing the part that has failed, such as the multipoint lock, gearbox, handle, cylinder or hinges, instead of replacing the whole door. Often the door has simply dropped and needs realigning.

At Window Fixers, lock cylinders start from £99, handles from £139, alignment from £216 and multipoint mechanisms from £280, including parts, labour and VAT. Adjustments and cylinders are often same day; ordered parts usually take 3–5 days.

Common problems

Common uPVC door problems we fix.

Most faults come down to one worn or misaligned part. Send us a photo or short video and we’ll tell you the likely cause before you book.

Door won’t lock

The locking points no longer line up with the keeps, or the gearbox or multipoint mechanism has failed.

Door won’t close properly

The door catches on the frame or needs a push, usually because it has moved out of alignment.

Handle stiff or loose

A floppy or stiff handle can be the handle itself, or resistance from the mechanism behind it.

Door won’t open

A jammed door is often recoverable, with the failed locking components repaired or replaced.

Key won’t turn

A worn or damaged cylinder, or locking points under strain, can stop the key turning.

Door has dropped

Weight, wear and repeated use make a door sag, so it drags, catches and lets in draughts.

Don’t keep forcing a stiff handle: it puts extra strain on the multipoint mechanism. We don’t repair timber doors, old aluminium sliding doors, timber windows, sash windows, Velux or skylight windows, single or secondary glazing, water leaks or mastic replacement.

Prices

How much does a uPVC door repair cost?

We repair the fault

Tested and guaranteed

We test opening, closing and locking before we finish. Smooth operation, secure locking, and you pay only when it’s done.

Why Window Fixers

We explain the fault and agree the price before any work starts. No call-out charge.

No fix, no fee

If we can’t complete the agreed repair, you don’t pay for it.

FAQ

uPVC door repair questions, answered.

Can’t see yours? Send us a message and we’ll reply in minutes.

How much does a uPVC door repair cost?

It depends on the fault. Lock cylinders start from £99, door hinges from £90 per hinge, handles from £139, alignment and adjustment from £216 and multipoint locking mechanisms from £280. Prices include parts, labour and VAT, with no call-out charge.

Can a uPVC door be repaired without replacing it?

Usually, yes. Most faults are in one component, such as the locking mechanism, gearbox, handle, cylinder, hinges or alignment. If the door itself is serviceable, repairing that part avoids replacing the whole door.

Why won’t my uPVC door lock?

Common causes are a dropped or misaligned door, lock keeps out of line, a faulty gearbox or a damaged multipoint mechanism. The right repair depends on which part is causing the problem.

Why does my uPVC door handle lift but not lock?

The fault may be in the multipoint locking mechanism or gearbox, but alignment should be checked first before assuming a part needs replacing.

Can you replace a uPVC door locking mechanism?

Yes. Failed gearboxes and multipoint mechanisms can often be replaced without replacing the door, subject to your system and compatible parts. Mechanisms start from £280 and usually take 3–5 days to source.

Can a dropped uPVC door be realigned?

Often, yes. We assess and adjust the hinges, keeps and alignment so the door closes smoothly again. Alignment starts from £216, and worn or damaged hinges may need replacing.

Should I force the handle if my door is hard to lock?

No. If the locking points aren’t lining up, forcing the handle puts extra pressure on the mechanism and can make the fault worse.

Why is there a draught around my uPVC door?

Draughts usually come from a dropped door, poor alignment or locking points that no longer pull the door tight to the frame. We inspect the door, then realign it and reset the hinges and keeps.

Do you repair uPVC French and patio doors?

Yes. We fix locking, alignment, handles, hinges and mechanisms on uPVC French doors, and sticking or dragging patio doors, depending on the system and compatible parts.

How do I get a quote?

Send photos and ideally a short video of the door and the problem on WhatsApp or email. We’ll assess the likely fault and reply with a price, usually within 15 minutes during opening hours.

Why won’t my uPVC door close properly?

Usually because the door has dropped or moved out of line with the frame, so the locking points miss the keeps. Worn hinges or a failing gearbox are the other common causes. Realignment starts from £216. Our guide to uPVC door problems and fixes explains the signs to look for.

Which areas do you cover for uPVC door repairs?

Every London borough and much of Kent, including Ilford, Romford, Enfield, Croydon, Bromley, Ealing, Dartford, Gravesend, Sevenoaks and Maidstone. Send your postcode with a photo and we’ll confirm the earliest slot.
