ABOUT US

Why does my multipoint lock keep failing?

Multipoint locks rely on intricate gearboxes, hooks, rollers, and connecting strips working in perfect sync. Daily wear, aggressive handle lifting, and seasonal door movement place extreme stress on the internal mechanisms. Most failures start with subtle signs—such as a stiff handle or a key that resists turning—before the central gearbox snaps and jams the door shut entirely.

WHAT WE DO

Multipoint Lock Faults We Repair Across London

Multipoint door won't lock

Key turns partially or feels completely jammed. We identify whether it’s internal gearbox wear, cylinder fault, or misaligned hooks and fix it same visit.

Door jammed shut & won't open

Mechanism broken while locked? We use non-destructive entry methods to release the jammed hooks and open your door safely without damage.

Gearbox repair & replacement

The most common multipoint fault. Worn center gearboxes prevent the system from locking and are replaced on-site with exact matching parts.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Multipoint Lock Repair – Your Questions Answered

My multipoint door handle lifts but the key won't turn. What is wrong?

This usually indicates internal gearbox failure or misaligned locking hooks. The gearbox drives the multi-point locking mechanisms into the frame keeps. When internal gears strip, the handle operates but the key fails to turn or secure the system. We carry direct replacement gearboxes for all major brands to fix this on the spot.

Do I need to replace the whole door if my multipoint lock breaks?

No, absolutely not. In almost 95% of cases, we simply replace the internal gearbox or central locking strip without replacing your existing door. This restores full functionality at a fraction of the cost of a new door.

My multipoint lock is jammed shut and won't open. Can you open it without damage?

Yes! We specialize in non-destructive entry techniques. We bypass the jammed internal gearbox to release the locking hooks and open your door smoothly without causing any cosmetic or structural damage to your door leaf or frame.

Can you repair multipoint locks on both uPVC and composite doors?

Yes, we repair multipoint locking systems on uPVC, composite, timber, and aluminum doors. Our mobile vans stock multi-brand mechanisms (GU, Yale, ERA, Avocet, Winkhaus, Fuhr) to ensure a single-visit repair regardless of door material.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY

uPVC door repair reviews across London

Multipoint back door mechanism was completely jammed and handle wouldn’t lift. Lock & Protect aligned the door, repaired the multi-point locking system, and it now opens smoothly. Excellent service.

Sarah M. — Colindale, NW9

Patio door locking strip failed and left the door stuck shut. Lock & Protect opened it without damaging the frame, replaced the full locking gear, and set up precise key entry.

James T. — Golders Green, NW11

Great work fixing a misaligned uPVC door that was hard to double lock. Lock & Protect replaced the gearbox and adjusted the hinges perfectly. Works like new again.

Michelle R. — Edgware, HA8

Key was spinning without engaging the hooks on our composite front door. Tech arrived in 25 mins, replaced the failed center gearbox on site, and re-aligned the locking keeps. Fantastic response!
