uPVC Door Lock Repairs in Kings Heath

A uPVC door that will not lock, a handle that feels loose, or a key that turns without catching - these are usually gearbox or mechanism faults, not reasons to replace the whole door.

uPVC Repairs in Kings Heath, Done Properly

Doctor Locks serves Kings Heath and the B14 corridor, from the High Street down towards Maypole and across to Highbury Park. With a lot of rented and shared houses in the area, Jason does a steady stream of lock changes between tenancies and emergency lockouts for tenants and landlords alike.

When a uPVC door starts playing up, most people fear an expensive new door. In reality the vast majority of these faults are in the multipoint mechanism or the door alignment, and they are repaired in a single visit for a fraction of the cost. The trick is correctly diagnosing whether it is the gearbox, the cylinder, the handle or a dropped door, then fitting the right part and realigning the door so it locks smoothly again.

For upvc door lock repairs in Kings Heath, Doctor Locks brings 25 years of experience to your door. Kings Heath homes are typically bay-fronted Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas, 1930s semis and a high proportion of rented and HMO properties, and Jason attends personally, identifies the problem, explains your options and gets the job done with quality hardware and as little disruption as possible.
