UPVC Door Gearbox Replacement
Diagnosis and replacement of failed UPVC and composite door lock gearboxes in Cambridge and surrounding areas.
Has the centre gearbox failed?
The gearbox is the central part of many multipoint locking mechanisms. It transfers movement from the handle and key to the rest of the lock. When internal components wear or break, the door can become difficult or impossible to operate.
Handle won't lift
A seized mechanism or alignment problem can prevent normal movement and should be diagnosed before parts are ordered.
Key turns but door stays locked
Movement at the cylinder does not always mean the gearbox is successfully operating the locking mechanism.
Matching the correct replacement
UPVC door mechanisms come in many designs and dimensions. Correct identification matters: measurements, faceplate details, spindle position, backset and the existing multipoint strip can all help determine the appropriate repair.
