What we fix

Common door & window faults

These are the faults we fix every day across Nottingham. Most are diagnosed over the phone in minutes and repaired on the first visit.

Door won't lock

Usually misalignment or gearbox failure. The locking points no longer meet the keep, or the internal mechanism has worn out. Same-day repair in most cases.

Door sticking or won't close

Hinge wear causes the door to drop and scrape the frame. Common on uPVC and composite doors after a few years — hinge adjustment or replacement fixes it.

Handle loose or not working

The spindle inside the handle wears over time. A loose handle that spins freely, or one that won't operate the lock, usually needs spindle or gearbox replacement.

Key won't turn

A seized or damaged euro cylinder — often from wear, a break-in attempt, or incorrect lubricant. Usually needs cylinder replacement, which we carry in the van.

Door dropped or misaligned

Composite and uPVC doors can drop on their hinges over time, causing the door to stick, scrape, or fail to latch. Hinge adjustment or replacement solves this.

After a break-in

Forced entry damages the mechanism, frame, and lock. We secure the property, replace compromised locks with anti-snap cylinders, and advise on security upgrades.

Window not closing or locking

Faulty hinges, worn handles, or a failed espagnolette mechanism are the most common causes. We carry replacement parts for most uPVC window brands.

Multipoint lock failure

When multiple locking points stop engaging simultaneously, the gearbox has usually failed internally. Direct replacement with the correct mechanism, fitted same-day.

FAQ

Common questions about door repairs

Costs vary depending on the fault. Common repairs include multipoint lock mechanism replacement, handle replacement, door realignment, and hinge adjustment. We charge from £85 + VAT with no call-out fee. A clear price is given over the phone before we visit. Most repairs are completed same-day in a single visit across Nottingham, Derby, and Mansfield.

The most common causes are:

  • Misalignment — the door has dropped and locking points no longer align with the keep on the frame
  • Gearbox failure — the internal multipoint mechanism has worn out
  • Broken spindle — the handle no longer connects to the mechanism
  • Seized cylinder — the euro cylinder is worn or damaged

All are same-day repairs. Call 07552 421433 for a free diagnosis over the phone.

Yes — composite door repairs are one of our most requested services across Nottingham, Derby, and Mansfield. We fix stiff or jammed multipoint mechanisms, doors dropped on hinges (flag hinge adjustment), handle spindle failure, and euro cylinder issues. We carry parts for Rockdoor, Solidor, Endurance, Palladio, and Distinction doors and complete most repairs in under 90 minutes on-site.

Yes. We repair bifold door rollers, tracks, hinges, and locking mechanisms — all manufacturers including Origin, Schuco, Smart Systems, and Reynaers. For patio doors we repair and replace multipoint locks, rollers, handles, and tracks. In most cases repairs are completed on the same visit with parts carried in the van. If your bifold or patio door is sticking, not locking, or the mechanism has failed, call 07552 421433 for same-day help.

Repair fixes the existing mechanism — realigning the door, replacing a spindle, lubricating stiff parts, or adjusting hinge positions. This is the cheaper option and is always attempted first.

Replacement means fitting an entirely new multipoint mechanism — necessary when the gearbox has catastrophically failed, the door was forced, or the lock is too worn to function reliably. If a replacement is needed, we use high-security anti-snap, anti-pick euro cylinders meeting British Standards. We'll always explain the options clearly before proceeding.

Yes — sticking doors are one of our most common jobs. Causes include:

  • Hinge wear — door dropped and scraping the frame or threshold
  • Frame expansion — temperature changes causing uPVC or timber frames to shift
  • Foundation settlement — structural movement putting frames out of square
  • Lock misalignment — locking points no longer meet the keeps

We carry adjustment tools and replacement parts for on-site fixes. Most sticking door repairs take under an hour.

Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Lock snapping is the most common method of burglary on uPVC and composite doors in the UK. Standard cylinders can be snapped in under 30 seconds with basic tools. We fit 3-star anti-snap, anti-pick, anti-drill euro cylinders meeting the highest British security standards (TS007 3-star). The upgrade takes 15-20 minutes per door and is recommended by police and most home insurers.

First, call police on 101 (999 if intruder may still be present) and get a crime reference number for your insurance. Then call us on 07552 421433 — we provide emergency boarding and lock changes 24/7 across Nottingham, Derby, and Mansfield. Document damage with photos before we arrive — your insurer will require this. We'll secure the entry point, replace all compromised locks with anti-snap cylinders, and advise on preventing repeat incidents.

Every 12-18 months for uPVC and composite doors. Use PTFE-based dry lubricant — never WD-40, which attracts dust and clogs the mechanism. Check hinge tightness, clean the track and threshold, inspect rubber seals for cracks, and test every locking point engages smoothly. Neglected mechanisms fail faster and cost more to repair.

We work with all major door brands: uPVC (Everest, Safestyle, Anglian), composite (Rockdoor, Solidor, Endurance, Palladio), bifold (Origin, Schuco, Smart Systems, Reynaers), and all timber, patio, sliding, and French doors. Lock stock carried: Yale, ERA, Avocet, Fullex, GU, Mila, Fuhr, and Winkhaus. If your door has a lock or mechanism — we can fix it.
