As time passes, the locking mechanism on your uPVC door may encounter problems, leading to difficulties with opening or locking the door. The good news is that this doesn’t always necessitate replacing the entire door.
At SF Locksmiths, we provide a solution for our customers in Sheffield by replacing the faulty parts with genuine, original materials. This approach allows you to save substantial costs, potentially amounting to hundreds of pounds. Rest assured, this method will restore your existing door to its former condition, ensuring both functionality and a familiar feel.
The mechanism that locks and secures a uPVC door is called a “multipoint lock” or mpl for short. To operate the mpl, you lift the door handle and turn the key to lock it in place. While these locks work great when new, they can fail after years of use. On average, they last for around 10-12 years.
Since 1980, our company has specialised in uPVC door repairs in Sheffield, focusing solely on repairing doors rather than selling new ones. If you were to approach a double glazing installer with a door issue, they might inform you that the required parts are no longer accessible. While this could be the case, we can typically offer an alternative multipoint lock that provides the same level of security or an upgraded anti-snap lock that enhances the security of your current door. We are fortunate to be associated with three suppliers offering the most extensive selection of multi-point locks in Europe, and our mobile workshop is fully equipped to handle 99% of call-outs on the initial visit.
As experienced locksmiths, we often receive inquiries about our methods for opening locked doors. We want to assure you that we possess the necessary expertise and tools to accomplish this task without causing any damage to your door or its components, such as hinges, glass units, or panels. Once the door is successfully opened, we will replace the faulty mechanism with genuine original materials, ensuring that your door functions as well as, if not better than, when it was first purchased.
Furthermore, our repair service includes a comprehensive door check-up, all covered in the cost. It’s important to note that misalignment is a common cause of lock failure, as it results in the locking points exerting pressure against the door frame keeps. This misalignment can lead to increased strain on the door handle during locking and unlocking.
We believe we can repair any type of uPVC door, including patio doors, conservatory doors, tilt & slide doors, and others. We have extensive knowledge of the various mechanisms used in doors, such as those manufactured by GU, Advocet, Mila, Fuhr, Millenco, Fullex, Ferco, Yale, Winkhaus, ERA, and more.
We keep these mechanisms in stock and can supply and fit them on the same day we attend your property. It doesn’t matter who installed your door or how old it is, feel free to contact us for a complimentary quote.
The cost of a new uPVC or composite door, including installation, can vary greatly, typically ranging from £600 to £1,500. However, companies such as Everest, Anglian, and Safestyle may charge even more and may also try to sell you new windows or pester you with marketing calls and flyers.
In contrast, replacing your door’s multipoint lock (mpl) with a genuine, original version can cost between £160 and £200, including all materials and labour. This repair should last an additional 10-12 years and comes with a two-year guarantee. After replacing the mpl, we’ll give your door a full service and check for any other issues.
If you also need to replace the door handles or lock barrel, we can do this at the same time, usually at a minimal additional cost included in the original quote.
We understand that the situation can be stressful and inconvenient, our mobile locksmith services include replacing faulty mechanisms, parts, locks, and handles for the benefit of our Sheffield customers and can often have your door repaired on the same day you call. And yes, we will arrive at the agreed upon time.
