uPVC Door Lock Repair in Brighton

(Multipoint & Composite Doors)

 

If your uPVC door won’t lock, the handle is stiff, or the key turns but nothing engages, you usually don’t need a whole new door — you need the right repair on the locking system. Walton Locksmiths provides fast uPVC door lock repair in Brighton (BN1/BN2) for multipoint mechanisms, gearboxes, cylinders and alignment issues.

 

Common uPVC door lock problems we fix

Most call-outs fall into a few patterns:

  • Door won’t lock when you lift the handle (multipoint not engaging)

  • Handle lifts but feels loose / drops down

  • Key turns but doesn’t lock / unlock

  • Lock is stiff or jammed

  • Door catching on the frame (alignment issue)

  • Broken gearbox or failed multipoint mechanism

  • Worn euro cylinder (key sticks, turns roughly, or spins)

We’ll identify whether it’s alignment, the gearbox, the multipoint strip, or the cylinder — then advise the quickest, most cost-effective fix.

 

Repair vs replacement: what’s best?

A lot of Brighton doors fail due to wear and misalignment rather than total lock failure. In many cases, we can:

  • Adjust the door and keeps so it closes properly

  • Replace a failed euro cylinder 

  • Replace a gearbox while keeping the rest of the mechanism

  • Replace the full multipoint lock only when required

We aim to keep disruption low and get you secure again quickly.

FAQs

Q:Why won’t my uPVC door lock when I lift the handle?


A:Most often it’s door misalignment, worn keeps, or a failing gearbox/multipoint mechanism preventing the hooks/bolts from engaging.

​

Q:Is it the gearbox or just the alignment?

 

A:If the door is hard to close or rubs the frame, alignment is likely. If it closes fine but won’t engage or the handle feels loose, the gearbox/mechanism may be failing.

​

Q:Can you repair a multipoint lock or does it need replacing?

 

A:Many can be repaired by replacing the gearbox or adjusting alignment. Full replacement is only needed when the mechanism is damaged or unavailable.

​

Q:How much is uPVC door lock repair in Brighton?

 

A:Cost depends on the fault and parts required. We’ll confirm the options and price before proceeding.
