Faults We Put Right
For lock issues, we've got you covered with our expert repair services. Our team addresses a wide range of common problems that can disrupt your daily life.
The top faults we fix:
- Stiff or Sticking Euro Cylinder: If your key struggles to turn, we'll restore smooth operation by realigning or replacing the cylinder.
- Worn Multipoint Gearbox: Does your door refuse to lock without lifting the handle? We'll repair or replace the gearbox to guarantee secure locking.
- Dropped UPVC/Composite Door: A door that doesn't align properly can be a hassle. We'll adjust or realign the door for perfect closure.
These issues often appear in Barking Riverside/Romford composite doors and Becontree/Dagenham terraces.
Our efficient solutions will have your locks functioning smoothly quickly. Don't hesitate to reach out for expert assistance!
Repair or Replace — How We Call It
Deciding whether to repair or replace a lock can be a nuanced process, but we're here to make it straightforward. Our approach focuses on practicality and cost-effectiveness. If the mechanism is sound, we'll realign and re-gear it, guaranteeing smooth operation.
However, if the cylinder or gearbox shows wear or doesn't meet standards, replacement is necessary. We prioritize restoring locks to BS3621 or TS007 3-Star insurance specifications. This assures security compliance.
We won't upsell unnecessary full door mechanisms when a simple cylinder change or keep adjustment will do the trick. Our team is dedicated to honest assessments—evaluating each situation carefully to provide the best solution.

Multipoint Realignment on Riverside and Becontree Composite Doors
Ensuring your composite doors on Riverside and Becontree function flawlessly often involves precise multipoint realignment. When these doors start sticking or misaligning, it's a clear signal that realignment is needed. We specialize in adjusting these complex systems to restore smooth operation.
First, we assess the door's alignment with its frame. Misalignment can cause wear on components, leading to more serious issues if left unchecked. We carefully adjust the hinges and locking points, ensuring the multipoint system engages perfectly every time.
Our team understands the unique needs of Riverside new-builds and Becontree semis. We bring years of experience and the right tools to handle any alignment challenge efficiently.
With our professional intervention, your door's longevity and security are enhanced.
If you've noticed any resistance or difficulty locking, it's time to call us. Let's keep your doors secure and functioning as intended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a UPVC multipoint lock rather than replacing it?
In many cases yes — if the gearbox is the issue we stock common Mila and GU Ferco units for a same-visit swap. If the full mechanism is damaged, we'll advise on replacement and quote before starting.
How do I know if my lock needs a repair or full replacement?
If the door opens but the key feels stiff, or the handle doesn't fully engage the hooks, repair is usually possible. If the gearbox has sheared, a replacement is quicker and more reliable. We'll diagnose on arrival.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee, no diagnostic charge. Fixed quote before we start.
How long does a lock repair take?
A Yale night latch spring or cylinder swap: 20-30 min. A multipoint gearbox change: 30-60 min. We carry parts for most common East London door fittings in the van.
Are your repairs guaranteed?
Yes — all repair work carries a workmanship guarantee. If the same fault recurs within the guarantee period, we return at no extra charge. Public liability cover — certificate available on request.
