New lock and door handle on UPVC front door.
They did a good job and made suggestions for improvements to the door. We called them back for another time to rehang front and back doors.

uPVC and composite door work in Olton is a large share of the job book — the B92 review density on Checkatrade for uPVC mechanism repair is the highest of any postcode covered. The streets behind St Bernards Road and Kineton Green Road have a heavy concentration of post-war and 1990s infill housing where multipoint gearboxes have started to fail at the fifteen-to-twenty-year mark. Dropped composite doors after summer expansion and snapped handle springs are the other two recurring issues.

Frequently asked questions
My uPVC multipoint mechanism has stopped working — can it be repaired or does the whole mechanism need replacing?+
It depends on which part of the mechanism has failed. A snapped gearbox or stripped centre spindle usually means a full mechanism replacement, but failed hooks, shoot bolts or handles can often be swapped individually. A repair-where-possible approach keeps the cost down — most B92 uPVC jobs are diagnosed and resolved on the first visit.
My composite door has dropped after summer and now will not lock — what is the fix?+
Composite doors expand in heat and the slab can drop slightly on the hinges, which throws the multipoint hooks out of alignment with the keeps. The fix is usually a hinge adjustment to bring the door back into square, plus realignment of the strike plates on the frame. If the hinges themselves are worn through, replacement composite-spec hinges are fitted. Both fixes are typical Olton B92 uPVC and composite jobs.
My uPVC handle has snapped off — can it be replaced the same day?+
Yes. Handle replacement is one of the most common Olton call-outs. The replacement handle is matched to the existing spindle length and PZ measurement, and the work is completed in 30 to 45 minutes on the doorstep. A range of common handle finishes (chrome, gold, white, anthracite) is carried in the van.
How does an anti-snap cylinder upgrade work on a uPVC door in Olton?+
The existing euro cylinder is measured (internal and external dimensions plus offset), and a Sold Secure rated anti-snap, anti-pick, anti-bump cylinder is fitted. The handle and mechanism do not need to be touched. The whole upgrade is typically a 20 to 30 minute job per door and brings the lock up to the standard insurers expect for B92 properties.
