UPVC Lock Repair

Why UPVC Locks Fail

UPVC locks are designed to offer strength and convenience, but like any working mechanism, they can develop problems over time. The most common issues include:

• Wear and Tear: Years of daily use eventually take their toll on cylinders and gearboxes.

• Misalignment: If your door drops or shifts, the lock can struggle to engage properly.

• Weather Conditions: Expansion in summer heat or contraction in winter cold can make locks stiff or difficult to turn.

• Key Problems: Snapped keys, worn keys, or cheap copies can all lead to lock failure.

• Forced Entry or Damage: Break-ins, attempted burglaries, or accidental damage can leave locks broken or unsafe.

Our job is to identify exactly what’s gone wrong and fix it with precision—so your lock feels as good as new.

Signs Your UPVC Lock Needs Repair

Not sure if your lock needs attention? Here are some common warning signs:

• Difficulty turning the key or lifting the handle.

• Door doesn’t lock smoothly or needs force to engage.

• Lock feels loose or wobbly in the door.

• The key only works from one side.

• Door won’t lock or unlock at all.

• You’ve suffered a break-in and need immediate repairs.

If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait until you’re locked out or your security is compromised. A quick repair now can save bigger problems later.

Our UPVC Lock Repair Service

At Repair UPVC, we deal with every type of lock issue, from simple adjustments to complete mechanism overhauls. Here’s what we cover:

• Cylinder Repairs and Replacements
  Euro cylinders are common in UPVC doors, and we can repair or replace them on the spot. Whether you’ve lost keys, snapped one in the lock, or want to upgrade to an anti-snap, anti-drill, or anti-pick cylinder, we have the right options in stock.

• Multipoint Locking Systems
  These locks engage at several points along the door frame, but one worn gearbox or failed strip can put the whole system out of action. We repair or replace multipoint systems from all major manufacturers, restoring full functionality and security.

• Lock Adjustments
  Sometimes the lock itself is fine—it’s the alignment that’s the problem. We adjust hinges, keeps, and strike plates to ensure your door closes and locks smoothly.

• Emergency Lock Repairs
  If your lock fails suddenly and you’re locked out or unable to secure your property, we offer fast-response emergency repairs to get you safe again without delay.

• Security Upgrades
  Want more protection? We supply and fit the latest high-security cylinders and multipoint locks, designed to resist snapping, drilling, and forced entry.
