UPVC Door Lock RepairsRepairing Faulty UPVC Door Locks & Mechanisms
A UPVC door that will not lock properly does not automatically need a new door. The fault may be within the cylinder, handle, gearbox, multipoint mechanism or the way the door is engaging with the frame.
Les and Alex can inspect the locking system, identify which part has failed and explain whether a repair, adjustment or replacement component is the sensible option. A & E carries a range of commonly used UPVC locking parts and mechanisms, helping us deal with many faults without replacing more than is necessary.
If the problem is with a conventional mortice lock, euro cylinder or another non-UPVC door lock, see our lock changes and repairs service in Bromley.

Common UPVC Lock ProblemsWhat Has Gone Wrong With Your UPVC Door?
Customers often notice the symptom before they know which component has failed. These are some of the UPVC locking problems we can investigate in Bromley.
Door Won't Lock
The handle may lift but the key will not turn, the locking points may not engage, or the door may no longer line up correctly with the keeps.
Stiff or Sticking Lock
A lock that has become difficult to operate can indicate wear, alignment trouble or a developing problem inside the mechanism.
Broken Gearbox
The central gearbox is an important part of many multipoint systems. When it fails, the handle or locking points may stop operating correctly.
Cylinder or Barrel Fault
If the key will not turn, will not come out correctly or the cylinder has become damaged, we can assess whether the cylinder itself needs attention or replacement.
Loose or Failed Handle
A loose, floppy or non-responsive handle can be related to the handle set, spindle or the mechanism behind it rather than the complete door.
Door Stuck Shut
If the mechanism has failed while the door is locked, we can assess the fault and the safest practical way to regain access and restore operation.
Repair the Fault, Not Automatically the Whole Door
Many UPVC and composite doors use a multipoint locking system with several locking points operated by a central mechanism. A problem with one component can make the whole door feel as though the lock has failed.
We can inspect the gearbox, multipoint strip, cylinder, handles and the way the door meets the frame. Where an appropriate replacement part is available, replacing the failed component can be a more practical solution than replacing the complete door or locking system.
If you want to improve cylinder security at the same time, we can also discuss suitable anti-snap options and our dedicated Ultion lock upgrades in Bromley.

There are several possible causes, including a worn or failed gearbox, a problem with the multipoint mechanism, a faulty cylinder or handle, or the door no longer engaging correctly with the frame. We diagnose the fault rather than assuming the complete lock needs replacing.
