A recent South Shields job: gearbox replacement & door realignment
We recently attended a property in South Shields where a failed door gearbox meant the customer could no longer lock up. On inspection the cylinder had also failed. Both were replaced, the door was realigned, and everything was tested working correctly before we left. It's a fairly typical fault on uPVC doors: a gearbox or cylinder wears out and starts as stiffness or a handle that won't lift properly, before the door stops locking altogether.

South Shields lock and door repair help
Faulty uPVC door mechanisms, failed locks, stiff handles and door alignment problems can make a door difficult to open, close or secure — the gearbox and cylinder job above is a real recent example. We diagnose the fault first and repair the existing locking system where practical, rather than defaulting to a full replacement.
