uPVC garage door lock repair in Bramley, Rotherham

We recently attended a property in Bramley, Rotherham, where a rear uPVC garage door had failed in the locked position, leaving the customer unable to open it.

The door was over 25 years old and was fitted with a GU multipoint locking mechanism. Unfortunately, the centre gearbox had failed, a common problem we encounter when repairing older uPVC doors.

We opened the garage door without causing any damage and identified the faulty GU gearbox. Instead of replacing the entire multipoint locking mechanism, we fitted a suitable replacement gearbox.

The door was also slightly out of alignment, which can put additional strain on the locking mechanism over time. We adjusted the door, serviced the locking points and checked that everything operated smoothly.

Despite being over 25 years old, the uPVC door was still in good condition. There was certainly no need for an expensive replacement.
