uPVC Door and Window Repair

B&B Locksmiths repairs and replaces uPVC door locks, window locks, handles, hinges, keeps, gearboxes, and multipoint locking mechanisms for homeowners, landlords, flats, and businesses across Oxford and Oxfordshire.

​

uPVC doors and windows rely on several components working together correctly. The lock, handle, hinges, keeps, and locking mechanism must be properly aligned. Over time, these parts can become worn, stiff, damaged, or misaligned, making the door or window difficult to open, close, lock, or unlock.

​

A common problem with uPVC doors is a faulty multipoint locking system. This may cause the handle to become stiff, prevent the key from turning, leave the door jammed, or make it difficult to secure. In some cases, the door may have dropped or moved out of alignment, placing additional pressure on the lock, gearbox, and internal mechanism.

​

A uPVC door may require repair if:

• The handle lifts but the key will not turn

• The door will not lock or unlock

• The lock or mechanism is jammed

• The gearbox has failed or become worn

• The door has dropped or become misaligned

• The locking points no longer align correctly with the frame

​​

uPVC windows can also develop faults with handles, espagnolette mechanisms, locking strips, hinges, and keeps. A faulty window lock or mechanism can leave the window jammed shut, unable to close properly, draughty, or insecure.

​

Repairing or replacing the correct component can often restore smooth operation and improve security without replacing the entire door or window. In many cases, a failed gearbox, handle, cylinder, hinge, or window-locking mechanism can be replaced separately.

​

Correct adjustment is important. If a uPVC door has dropped or the keeps are misaligned, forcing the handle or key may cause further damage. A thorough repair should include checking the door alignment, locking points, cylinder, gearbox, and mechanism to ensure that the door operates smoothly and securely.
