Multipoint Mechanism and Gearbox Repairs

The gearbox is the central part of the multipoint locking strip. When it fails, the handle may move but the hooks, rollers or bolts will not engage properly.

We inspect the full mechanism, check how the door is sitting in the frame, and replace only the failed parts where possible. If the problem is linked to a wider lock issue, see our lock repair service in Chester Le Street.

Door Alignment Issues

A dropped or misaligned door is one of the most common causes of repeat uPVC lock faults. When the locking points no longer line up properly with the keeps, strain builds up in the mechanism and eventually causes failure.

Correcting alignment early can prevent gearbox damage, improve operation and extend the life of the lock.

Snapped or Damaged Euro Cylinders

If the key spins, the cylinder is worn or the lock has been damaged, replacement is often the safest option. We can fit suitable replacement cylinders and advise on higher security upgrades where appropriate.

If the issue follows attempted forced entry or damage, see our burglary repairs service in Chester Le Street.
