uPVC Door & Window Specialist
James Conboy repairs and replaces uPVC door and window mechanisms across Shirley, Solihull, Dickens Heath, and surrounding areas. Multipoint gearboxes, handles, and euro cylinders -- most common parts stocked in the van for a same-visit fix.
uPVC Door and Window Lock Repairs
uPVC doors and windows often develop faults that standard locksmiths aren't set up to fix -- the mechanisms are specific, and without the right parts on hand the job either gets left or over-quoted. James stocks the common gearbox sizes and mechanism types in the van, so most repairs are done in one visit.
- Gearbox replacement -- the most common uPVC door fault. Identified on site, replaced with the correct gearbox for the mechanism, tested before leaving.
- Multipoint mechanism repair or full replacement -- if the locking points have failed or the mechanism is beyond repair, a like-for-like replacement is fitted.
- Handle and cylinder -- broken handles and worn cylinders swapped on the same visit. Colour-matched where possible.
- Door and window realignment -- doors that have dropped or frames that have shifted adjusted so the lock engages correctly.
- Emergency uPVC lockout -- James covers uPVC door emergencies twenty-four hours across Shirley, Solihull, and surrounding areas.
uPVC Specialist Services
uPVC Door Lock Repairs
Faulty multipoint locking systems diagnosed and repaired. Gearbox failures and stiff mechanisms are the most common issues -- both fixed on the first visit in most cases.
uPVC Window Lock Repairs
Window handles, espagnolette bolts, and window lock cylinders repaired or replaced. If the window won't close and lock properly, James will identify whether it's the mechanism or the alignment.
Lock Mechanism Replacements
Like-for-like multipoint mechanism replacement when repair isn't the right answer. James sources the correct mechanism for the door rather than fitting an approximation.
Door & Window Realignment
Dropped doors and out-of-square frames adjusted so the locking points engage correctly. Often the reason a door is hard to lock isn't the mechanism at all -- it's alignment.
Handle & Cylinder Replacements
Broken handles and worn euro cylinders swapped with matched replacements. Anti-snap cylinders available as an upgrade if the door warrants it.
Anti-Snap Cylinder Upgrades
TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders fitted to uPVC doors. Protects against lock snapping -- the most common forced-entry method used on this door type.
uPVC Specialist FAQs
Yes -- it's one of the most common jobs James handles. The cause is usually a worn gearbox in the multipoint mechanism, door misalignment, or a damaged shoot bolt. In most cases the relevant part can be replaced without touching the rest of the door. James will identify the fault on the visit and quote a fixed price before starting.
