Sometimes it is not just the gearbox, the whole multipoint strip down the edge of the door, the hooks, rollers, deadbolts and gearbox as one unit, has worn out or seized. This is the full repair that makes a tired uPVC or composite door lock like new again.
What is included
- The correct locking strip sourced for your door make and backset
- Old strip removed, new strip fitted and the door re-hung true
- Cylinder and handles re-tested, keys checked
From £300, depending on the door and strip length. I carry the common types, and I will always tell you honestly whether a cheaper realignment or gearbox would do the job instead. Covering Southampton, the Waterside and the New Forest.
